Hot Cocoa Tops Red Wine And Tea

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...

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!

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.

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.
