A cup of hot chocolate to chase away the cold during the rainy season. A recent study states can control the content of the cocoa-related inflammatory diseases such as diabetes and obesity.

Study conducted, tested the rats given the cocoa supplements when given a high-fat diet, the mice a high-fat diet without supplements, and mice that underwent a low-fat diet. Rats eating 10 tablespoons of cocoa powder which is equivalent to four to five hot chocolate for 10 weeks.

The research team reported a decrease in some inflammatory signs and diabetes in mice who consumed cocoa supplements. They experienced a 27 percent decrease in plasma insulin than mice that a diet rich in fat with no cocoa powder. Almost similar results found in mice that ate a low-fat diet in the control group.
 
Cocoa powder supplements also lowered the liver triglyceride levels in rats more than 32 percent According to a report published in the European Journal of Nutrition mice also showed a drastic reduction in the risk of weight gain.

The research team assumed that excess fat into the body can transmit an emergency signal to the body so the immune cells become activated and cause inflammation. Cocoa can reduce the triggers that send signals to initiate the inflammatory response.

Expert  considers this could change our view of real cocoa consumption low in calories, low in fat, and high in fiber. Most research on obesity tends to eliminate the consumption of chocolate consumption, but cocoa powder is actually low in fat and sugar, as well as the rich content of polyphenols.
