Cornell University food scientists state that cocoa has nearly twice the antioxidants of red wine and up to three times those found in green tea. This is good news for all chocolate lovers. Chang Y. (Cy) Lee, chairman of the Department of Food Science and Technology of Cornell commented that, "Personally, I would drink hot cocoa in the morning, green tea in the afternoon and a glass of red wine in the evening. That's a good combination."
