Switch to Dark

A Switch To Dark campaign highlighting the health benefits of consuming small portions of dark chocolate has been launched in leading healthcare publications, which include the Australian Doctor and Medical Observer; the Dietitians Association of Australia as well as MIMS.

Emerging evidence suggests that dark chocolate is a surprisingly rich source of antioxidants which may contribute to some health benefits.

Reputable journals such as JAMA, BMJ and The Lancet have all published studies on the health benefits of dark chocolate. Cocoa is a rich source of antioxidant flavonoids, and studies have shown that dark chocolate contains a higher level of antioxidants than red wine and tea (Ding et al., 2006).

At the heart of the Switch to Dark campaign, the message is that if we choose to indulge occasionally in chocolate, a small amount of dark chocolate is by far the wiser choice.

Nestlé is a proud supporter of the Switch To Dark campaign. More information is available under the Switch to Dark website at www.switchtodark.com.au
