Despite what many people will tell you, chocolate (white, milk OR dark) & red wine does NOT provide any heart health benefit. There is no doubt that both chocolate & red wine can be incorporated into a healthy eating plan and yes its true both of these items contain antioxidants but in a review of more than 100 studies, there was no cardiovascular benefit shown so if thats the reason you use to justify your consumption – think again as they will only be adding to your total daily calories and probably your wasitline!
