Why dark chocolate is good for you.
Dark chocolate is good for you because it is more beneficial for your health than other chocolates. It has more benefits than disadvantages, one major reason is that dark chocolate has a high percentage of cocoa(which is good for you). But even if dark chocolate is good in fiber and is nutritional does not give it an excuse to consume it all the time. For it still has calories and even though it reduces problems it still can get you overweight and that isn't good for your health.
