Eating chocolate every day is bad to the bone |

Chocolate is good for you! It has natural compounds that benefit the heart and the brain!
With all the back and forth, it's about time for chocolate to be bad for us again. According to a new study out of the University of Western Australia, women who eat chocolate every day end up with lower bone density in the hips, neck, tibia, and heel, making them more prone to fracture.
Chocolate seems to affect te body's ability to hold onto calcium. Chocolate contains oxalate, a poisonous acid, which can reduce the calcium absorption; it also contains sugar, which has been linked to calcium excretion.
Maybe this means we should stop eating that nasty extra dark "healthy" chocolate and go back to "milk" chocolate. Milk has calcium, right?
Or maybe we shouldn't eat it every day.Read | Permalink | Email this | Comments
