JAMA -- A Man Scraping Chocolate, May 15, 2002, Torpy 287 (19): 2466 (#)
„Chocolate, cioccolata, chocolat: even the words roll deliciously off the tongue.

„Antioxidants are compounds that help clean harmful compounds from the blood. Tea contains several different types of antioxidants in the polyphenol family, including catechins, flavonoids, tannins and theraflavins. Flavonoids comprise an important sub-group of the polypheonols and green tea leaves contain high levels of flavonoid compounds, among them catechins (flavinols), and a related flavonoid, flavonis, is found in both green (unfermnented) and black (fermented) tea leaves. These and similar antioxidants are found in fruit and vegetables, but one or two cups of tea provides a similar “radical scavenging environment” as five portions of fruit or vegetables.“

Autocrat Coffee Syrup Review (INeedCoffee.com)
„To understand coffee milk, it might be best to understand coffee syrup, first. Autocrat brand coffee syrup has only five listed ingredients: high fructose corn syrup, water, coffee, "other natural flavors" and potassium sorbate. The syrup, which comes out as a brown liquid of bloodlike consistency, is then mixed with milk at the following ratio: 2 Tbsp. to 8 oz.“
