Guest guest Posted November 7, 2003 Report Share Posted November 7, 2003 Hello CR ALL: I happen to like non-fat cocoa (in moderation), both as a very low-cal energizer drink sweetened with Sucralose, and as a guar pudding ingredient to make a very tasty and well-textured chocolate pudding -- that has none of the gooey texture customarily associated with guar pudding recipes. And when made with micronized cellulose, the pudding can actually be fluffy. Here is an article about the antioxidants in cocoa that comes from research done at the prestigious Cornell University: Hot Cocoa Tops Red Wine And Tea In Antioxidants; May Be Healthier Choice ------------------------------------------------------------------------ There's sweet news about hot cocoa: Researchers at Cornell University have shown that the popular winter beverage contains more antioxidants per cup than a similar serving of red wine or tea and may be a healthier choice. The study adds to growing evidence of the health benefits of cocoa and points to a tasty alternative in the quest to maintain a diet rich in healthy antioxidants, chemicals that have been shown to fight cancer, heart disease and aging, the researchers say...

Guest guest Posted November 7, 2003 Report Share Posted November 7, 2003 That is great news, Warren! I love cocoa myself, although I also drink quite a bit of green, black, orange pekoe, and white tea as well the occasional glass of red wine. A toast to your health!

Guest guest Posted November 7, 2003 Report Share Posted November 7, 2003 Al, The sodium comment appears to be a glitch in their method of reporting. At 7 mg sodium, it is actually very low in sodium. However, per 200 calories, that would be 700 mg sodium, and they evaluate, evidently, based on the 200 calorie criterion.

Guest guest Posted November 7, 2003 Report Share Posted November 7, 2003 Hi Al: They also say there is 88 mg of potassium in tea in addition to the sodium. So the K/Na ratio is not bad either.
