Chocolate is often accused to heap cholesterol up inside body. However, the accusation is contradict against a research result of Prof John Erdman from the University of Illinois, USA. He proves that chocolate is in fact rich in flavonoids that is effective to decrease body weight and also the amount of bad cholesterol or low density lipoprotein (LDL). His research involved 49 patients who had high cholesterol and normal blood pressure. After a week consuming 100 gram of chocolate bars every day, total cholesterol content of all the patients decreased 2% and LDL was decreased to 3,5%.***
