Chocolate is so common these days it is hard to imagine life without it. However, when it was first brought to Europe from Central America it was considered a luxury item since it was still fairly rare in Europe. This is just one of the many historical oddities about chocolate.
There are a number of myths about chocolate that many people still believe. It has actually been shown that this delicious treat does not cause acne, and that it is actually a better candy choice than sticky or hard candies when it comes to preventing tooth decay.
In fact, one of the interesting facts about chocolate that you might not be aware of is that it actually contains a very healthy component called flavinoids that has health benefits. Of course this is more true of dark chocolate than the milk confection, and the dark kind has less sugar as well, so it is definitely the healthier option.
