"We have all heard that chocolate is good for you. Now this study suggests one reason why that might be true. This chemical seems to be safe, which makes sense because it has a structure similar to a natural product in cocoa beans," the Daily Express quoted Dr Min Kim, who led the study, as saying.

A spokeswoman for the charity Beating Bowel Cancer said: "The Georgetown research is encouraging. We urge people to maintain a healthy, balanced diet, containing plenty of fibre, combined with regular exercise to help to prevent bowel cancer."

The study is published in the journal Cell Cycle.

Great news! More and more clinical studies are being done on the benefits of dark chocolate. The only caution is that many of these values are decreased or destroyed in the processing of "chocolate" through heat. I've found Xocai chocolate is produced through a patented "cold processing technology" - preserving the highest antioxidant values making it "healthy".
