"Chocolate contains up to four times the anti-oxidants found in tea."
Sound too good to be true? In fact, that was the conclusion of a recent study by Holland's National Institute of Public Health and Environment.
Researchers found that chocolate - specifically dark chocolate - contains 53.5 mg of catechins per 100 grams. (Catechins are the powerful anti-oxidants that fight against cancer-causing cells and help prevent heart disease).
By contrast, 100 ml of black tea contains a mere 13.9 mg of catechins.
SO...I say here's to a "cuppa" and a CHOCOLATE bar! :)
