Research and trials have indicated cocoa powder can significantly reduce oxidized low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, which occurs when LDL cholesterol reacts with free radicals. This reaction makes LDL cholesterol, or the ‘bad’ cholesterol, able to damage other tissues in the body, such as the lining of the arteries in the heart. Cocoa powder, the prime ingredient in dark chocolate, is full of powerful antioxidants which, as the name suggests, protects against damage from oxidation. Dark chocolate is also higher in flavonoids, which have been shown to reduce LDL cholesterol
