Dark chocolate has several of the same benefits as vegetables.  Why?  Because chocolate is made from the cocoa plant, a vegetable.  These benefits, coming from chocolate's flavanoids, include reducing blood pressure, protecting the body from aging, balancing hormones, and even reducing the risk of heart disease.  It has also been shown in some studies to reduce a persons LDL cholesterol.
