Escape Into Chocolate

Serious chocolate lovers understand the sense of satisfaction and well being that emerges as a piece of rich dark chocolate melts on their tongue Chocolate has been, and will continue to be, the ultimate comfort food.

There is a growing body of scientific evidence that explains this phenomenon. Chocolate contains four chemicals that stimulate the brain, caffeine, theobromine, phenylethylamine and N-acylethanolamines. These chemicals in combination turn on pleasure centers in the brain. That “chocolate high” is real.

Chocolate also contains flavanols, natural antioxidant compounds that may ward off vascular disease linked to heart attacks, stroke, diabetes, dementia and hypertension.

A study published in the Harvard Women's Health Watch and the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition said, “cocoa and chocolate, produced from cacoa beans, contain high amounts of polyphenols and other flavanoids, naturally occurring antioxidants whose effects are associated with reduced cardiovascular risk.” This finding supports the conclusion that diet supplemented with chocolate products can slow oxidation of LDL or “bad” cholesterol and can increase the level of HDL or “good” cholesterol. Therefore, science has finally proven what most people have known for many years. Quality Dark Chocolate is good for you.

The mission of Chocolate Springs is to continue to spread and promote this time- honored, magical sensation of savoring exquisite chocolate.
