That's what's so great about dark chocolate: not overly sweet and lotsa chocolate flavor. :thumbsup:

Milk chocolate is too sweet and not very chocolate-y...

actually it's because the particular antioxidants (epicatechins) in chcocolate bind to the milk proteins, and this reaction interferes with the antioxidants' absorption into your bloodstream.

i'm tired of chocolates.. :(

Epicatechins? I thought is was Flavonoids... :headscratch:

from a Wiki entry on Catechins:

Epicatechin
EpigallocatechinCatechins are bioflavonoids, polyphenols and powerful anti-oxidants. The best source of catechins is white tea, with green tea coming close. Catechins are believed to have some value in fighting tumors as well as enhancing immune system function.

Other sources of catechins include dark chocolate and apples.

Catechin is a tannin peculiar to green and white tea because the black tea fermentation process reduces catechins in black tea. Catechin is a powerful, water soluble polyphenol and antioxidant that is easily oxidized. Several thousand types are available in the plant world. As many as two thousand are known to have a flavon structure and are called flavonoids. Catechin is one of them.
