Delicious for Your Skin - "Chocolate As Sunscreen!"

The benefits of dark, organic chocolate are many, but who knew that it could protect your skin?


From Sciencenews.org, is an enticing tidbit - can we benefit from using chocolate as sunscreen?

"...German researchers have shown that ingesting types rich in cocoa solids and flavonoids—dark chocolate—can fight skin cancer. Their findings are preliminary because they come from a trial of just 24 women who were recruited to add cocoa to their breakfasts every day for about 3 months."

Interesting indeed! Read the full story about how chocolate could help protect your skin here.
