HERSHEY, Pa.—Resveratrol, the compound often associated with the health benefits of red wine, is also found in cocoa and dark chocolate products, according to a study published in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry. "This study shows that the levels of resveratrol found in cocoa and chocolate products is second to red wine among known sources of resveratrol and forms yet another important link between the antioxidants found in cocoa and dark chocolate to other foods," said David Stuart, PhD, director of natural product science at The Hershey Company.
