Dark Chocolate has more iron than beef?
THAT IS RIGHT. AND THE INFORMATION IS RIGHT.
So says none other than the USDA
According
to the website, Nutritiondata.com, a one ounce serving of dark chocolate
contains 19 percent of the US RDA for iron. Yet an ounce of beef sirloin only
contains 3 percent.
Data from
USDA National Nutrient Database for Standard Reference shows: Chocolate, dark,
70-85 percent cacao solids, value per 100 grams is 11.90 milligrams of iron.
Beef,
bottom sirloin, tri-tip roast, separable lean and fat, trimmed to 0″ fat, all
grades, cooked, roasted, value per 100 grams is 1.66 milligrams of iron. Beef,
ground, 70 percent lean meat / 30 percent fat, crumbles, cooked, pan-browned,
value per 100 grams is 2.48 milligrams of iron.
So these
two information sources state that dark chocolate does contain more iron than
some cuts of beef, and not just a little more.
Even more peer reviewed studies show that dark chocolate (not the
sugary crap) can improve health and lower the risk of heart disease.
