Chocolate Is Good For Your Teeth!!

Well it is, but in small quantities.
Chocolate is good for your teeth and your overall health too. Chocolate contains polyphenols and flavinoids which are anti oxidants that inhibit the growth of bacteria that causes decay of the teeth.
Chocolate also has cocoa butter which has a coating effect which prevents the plaque from attaching to the teeth.
Chocolate is good at one ounce per day. It tastes good, doesn’t hurt your teeth and is good for your body too.
And now the down side. Dark chocolate has lots of calories, nearly 150 per ounce. That alone is a big problem that sets all the good aside.
So chocolate is not an issue if you know how to control yourself while having it. Have fun…
