Plants, in the form of fruit and vegetables, are essential for a healthy diet.  Plant foods contain flavonoids that act as antioxidants and these are known to reduce cell damage and therefore help prevent major diseases.  Dark chocolate with a cocoa solid content of 70% or more is a good source of these flavonoids.

Good quality dark chocolate can reduce blood pressure and also improve insulin sensitivity.  It also reduces the risk of cardiovascular disease by reducing LDL cholesterol oxidation.

Our dark chocolate contains 72.5% cocoa solids.  The more cocoa solids there are in a chocolate the less sugar and fat it can contain.  Our dark chocolate also contains no milk solids and is therefore dairy free. And because we add nothing to the chocolate other than natural flavours we also know that our chocolates are gluten free.

Diabetes UK, the largest organisation in the UK working for people with diabetes, state that "It is a myth that people with diabetes can't eat chocolate."  They also say that diabetic products "offer no special benefit to people with diabetes, and still affect blood glucose levels (and are often higher in calories and fat than 'real'
chocolate)."  "People with diabetes should eat a normal healthy balanced diet, the same as anybody else. This can include a biscuit or some normal chocolate as long as it is done in moderation."
