Chocolate and its many Virtues
5 DAYS TO
EAT!
Aaaah chocolate and its many virtues. It originates from a
Mexican Indian word from the time of the conquistadors. It means "food of
the Gods". Chocolate has suffered from many ills for a long time. He has
often been criticized - wrongly - for being responsible for weight gain, acne,
liver attacks, clogging the arteries, causing bad cholesterol to soar ... And
contrary to popular belief , chocolate is not an aphrodisiac! Today, all
doctors and health organizations are touting the benefits of chocolate. Rich in
polyphenols, flavonoids (antioxidants), serotonin, endorphin, anandamide, oleic
acid, caffeine, theobromine, phenylethylamineand in magnesium (we catch our
breath), chocolate is an anti-depressant and a natural stimulant. It is a
commodity appreciated by millions of people around the world and, regularly
honored in France thanks to the organization of an internationally renowned
fair.
Today is the 16 th edition of the Salon du Chocolat opens in
Paris, for the happiness of the greatest as the smallest, until 1 st of
November. To celebrate the year of Biodiversity , the Chocolate Fair is placed
under the sign of fair trade, organic and well-being.
During the 5 days of the festivities, lots of good and
beautiful things are on the program. It's in Pavilion 5from the Porte de
Versailles that you will be welcomed by more than 400 participants and
exhibitors. You will be able to meet, exchange with the biggest French and
international names in the chocolate factory. They will offer you a unique

Like every year, fashion and chocolate will come together
through the unavoidable Défilé Tendances Chocolat , which stages a prestigious
collection of chewable "couture" models, in chocolate, imagined by
tandems of couturiers and chocolatiers. These chic and shocking tandems compete
with imagination and artistic sense to develop bold and gourmet dresses. The
2010 edition will be marked by a major innovation. T he Salon du Chocolat
indeed rhymes the year of biodiversity with organic chocolate dresses ,
eco-responsible dressmakers and bucolic decorations ! The parade will be for
the benefit of Universal Love, an association that works for sustainable
fashion, a vector for development *.
