17. Drink up!
If you enjoy your chocolate with red wine, like we all do, there is some science to back up the benefits of your little indulgence. On the list of cacao nutrition facts are the naturally occurring flavonoids—substances that are also found in red wine, green tea, as well as fruits and vegetables. Flavonoids are also connected to a reduced risk of cardiovascular disease and some cancers.
