Even though dark chocolate has real benefits for preventing heart disease and keeping blood pressure, but the patients prefer to swallow a bitter pill to take care of their health than eating dark chocolate.

This was revealed in research conducted by experts from Australia. ”Most patients prefer pills instead of 50 grams of dark chocolate containing 70 percent cocoa,” said Karin Ried, a researcher.

Various studies show that levels of antioxidants in dark chocolate help lower blood pressure.”Flavonoids and polypenol shown to down blood pressure. Because it was a quarter of a portion of chocolate containing 70 percent cocoa beans are encouraged,” said Dr.Suzanne Steimbaum, preventive cardiologist from Lenox Hill Hospital.

Ried In that research, he randomly divided 36 respondents to receive 50 milligrams of dark chocolate, pills containing tomato extract containing 15 mg of antioxidants, as well as pill placebo, for eight weeks.

Although dark chocolate tastes good, but half of the respondents in the group receiving therapy have objections if the dark chocolate to eat chocolate every day. In contrast to respondents from the groups who dutifully drank pills pills every day.

“Most respondents from the group complained about a chocolate brown therapies that are too strong and they are worried about fat and sugar contained in chocolate,” said Rien.

Rien and his team therefore concluded that dark chocolate gift can not be used as therapy, although dark chocolate was still regarded as an alternative to supplement intake of antioxidants the body needs, a maximum of 50 mg daily.

Angiogenesis Foundation Chairman, William Li expressed the red wine and dark chocolate blended with blueberries, garlic, soy and tea can be used as materials for making cancer cells that made no famine has undermined the ability of the body.

“We’ve created a level of food based on the quality of these foods to fight cancer. What we consume every day could be chemotherapy for ourselves,” Li said, as quoted by AFP on Thursday (11/2/2010).

Scientists identify chemical ingredients contained in food. These chemicals have the function to stop the flow of blood supply to the tumor tissue so that cancer cells will be starved which will die.

Li cited a study at Harvard Medical School that showed a man with the consumption of cooked tomatoes a few times a week can reduce the likelihood of prostate cancer as much as 30-50 times.

“There’s a medical revolution that is happening around us. If this is true, it will have an impact on consumer education, food service, public health and insurance institutions,” he added.

Eating a variety of these foods together to make the fight against cancer properties become more effective and powerful. For some people around the world that can not afford cancer drugs, the possibility can make the treatment of cancer through diet as the only best solution to fight the cancer cells in her body.

Currently about a dozen drugs have been used to stop the blood supply to tumors by using the tactics of treatment called anti-angiogenesis “. But almost certainly that the treatment for cancer is not a cheap treatment
