Wow, look at this:

I'm becoming more & more fascinated by the healing powers of cocoa. Every time I google, there are more sites. First (last January) came the news that unsweetened cocoa helps prevent cancer, heart disease and strokes. Now it looks like it can prevent diabetes too, also prevent complications of diabetes in people who already have it.
If you buy cocoa, make sure the label says unsweetened, non-alkalinized cocoa. Alkalinization, or Dutch processing, destroys the antioxidants. Hershey's has a good one, the little brown box. And soon Mars is going to put out one with even higher flavanols, called CocoaPro. As for the flavanols now, cocoa has 29 times the antioxidants (same thing) as broccoli.
Read away. I'm going to go make a chocolate smoothie!
