1. Dark chocolate is now considered to have significant benefits for your good gut bacteria and is an excellent source of fibre and antioxidants. But you must eat around 20 g (0.7 oz) of chocolate containing at least 70% cocoa daily to get these benefits - do you like very dark chocolate?
I do like dark chocolate and for a while had a bit every night. I got out of the habit a few years ago; not sure why...
