DARK CHOCOLATE - It's Official - It's good to health

The cocoa fibers are important for fighting diseases such as cancer of the colon, says a new research.

Many studies have been published on the benefits of dark chocolate, but the reasons for this idea were to be discovered ... until today.

It was at the annual meeting of the American Chemical Society in Dallas, John Finley, professor and researcher at the State University of Louisiana, has said knowing "that some of the cocoa components are very good for health." However, these were not at significant levels to justify the beneficial effects found in people.

Which would explain, then, this benefit "extra" that consumption of dark chocolate seemed to bring? Finley and Mary Moore, student and researcher of this project, decided to look for an explanation, trying to understand how the indigestible fibers of the cocoa, going directly to the colon, have an impact in the body.

For the study, the researchers resorted to a digestive system model similar to the human, to see what happened to the fibers when they reached the colon. Observing this process, both concluded that these, after fermenting, turned into short-chain fatty acids, "the favorite food of the colon cells" explained Finley.

"There are two types of bacteria in the gut, the good and the bad. The good bacteria such as Bifidobacterium and lactic acid bacteria, love chocolate. When you eat chocolate black, they grow and ferment, producing anti-inflammatory components, "Moore said at the meeting, explaining the results of the work with the help of a team of experts.

This is the first study on the effects of dark chocolate in various kinds of stomach bacteria. Finley and Moore concluded that the combination of cocoa fiber with undigested food ingredients may contribute to the health, creating greater resistance to colon cancer and inflammatory bowel disease.
