Foods > Desserts

Life is too short to skip dessert and, despite what some people think, dessert can make a nutritious contribution to our diet. Instead of withholding dessert, try making it part of your menu. Depending on the type of treat you choose, you can get extra fiber and lots of vitamins and minerals. There really is a way to have your cake and eat it too. The key is choosing desserts that are sinfully good for you.

Chocolate that improves heart health?

There's been a swirl of media attention surrounding a new chocolate product from Mars Inc. called CocoaVia. The bars are made from a kind of dark chocolate high in flavanols, which is an antioxidant found in cocoa beans that is thought to have a blood-thinning effect similar to aspirin and may even lower blood pressure. CocoaVia bars are also enriched with vitamins and injected with cholesterol-lowering plant sterols from soy. But is it safe to say you can eat at will and have only positive benefits? Experts are wary, so if you choose to indulge, moderation is still your safest bet.

Cheers to Beer and Chocolate!

While the news of dark chocolate's health benefits have been sweeping the nation, you may have missed the news regarding your other favorite vice--beer. This vitamin-B boosting brew can have an impact on your cholesterol levels. Pair your favorite ale with a heart-healthy chunk of dark chocolate for an occasional treat.
