Best Answer

Dark Chocolate contains antioxidants and high concentrations of cocoa powder. Both can help boost your immune system and also release chemicals in your body that are good and that promote happier feelings and sensations. Also, dark chocolate tends to be significantly lower in fats and sugars that other chocolates (milk, semi-sweet, unsweetened, white, ect.).

Dark chocolate is one of the only chocolates good for you; it supposedly benefits the circulatory system. There have also been claims that it has anti-cancer components, in addition to other benefits.

MORE INFORMATION:
All forms of authentic chocolate candy and drinks contain the heart healthy fatty acids, polyphenols and nutrients. These ingredients have repeatedly been proved to positively affect the brain and the body.
Some forms of chocolate contain high amounts of sugar and if eaten to excess, the sugar content can be a problem for health. Eaten in moderation it is still a good dessert choice.
Some chocolate confections contain hydrogenated oil and should be avoided the cocoa butter in real chocolate contains the heart healthy fats.
Here is some additional information about chocolate:
Real Chocolate in all it's forms as well as real white chocolate is a healthy choice as a treat.
All forms of real chocolate, including white have cocoa butter which contains a heart healthy sterol or fatty acid, known as stearic acid.
In addition both Dark and Milk Chocolate contain stearic acid as well as healthy polyphenols and nutrients known to benefit the body and to influence a positive mind set. Dark chocolate, however, contains the most nutrients and polyphenols.

Dark chocolate has a number of health benefits. It appears that eating dark chocolate lowers blood pressure, but the benefits can be offset by the extra calories, so it is advisable to eat less of other treats. Dark chocolate contins anti-oxidants which can eliminate destructive free radicals that can lead to heart disease.
