Re-Emphasiis (sic) That Natural Cocoa Powder Has High Antioxidant Content

"Re-Emphasiis (sic) That Emphasis is Spelled Emphasis."

Here is a silly piece:
"Over the past ten years, dark chocolate and cocoa have become recognized through numerous studies for flavanol antioxidant benefits. In a study published this month in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, scientists from The Hershey Company and Brunswick Laboratories of Norton, MA report on the levels of antioxidants in selected cocoa powders and the effect of processing on the antioxidant levels. The study, which analyzed Hershey's Natural Cocoa Powder and nineteen other cocoa powders, reported that natural cocoa powders have the highest levels of antioxidants. Natural cocoa powders contained an average of 34.6 mg of flavanols per gram of cocoa powder, or about 3.5% of total flavanols by weight. This places cocoa powder among the foods highest in these types of antioxidants."
And what do antioxidants do?

Well, according to some studies, they kill you, give you malignancies, don't help your heart, don't lengthen your life and may shorten it...

So who do you think put this one out?
