Abstract

For years, chocolate has been regarded as a delicious treat and nothing more. However, a relatively new field of research dedicated to exploring the health benefits of chocolate shows that this traditional sweet may hold many keys to solving health problems--as well as offering an almost untapped market potential for businesses specializing in "healthy chocolate." Chocolate could pave the way to a bright future for companies willing to take hold of this knowledge and opportunity have the potential to accomplish two great goals: make millions of dollars in profit and save millions of lives with the benefits of chocolate’s natural, healthy components.
