Chocolate consumption may significantly reduce the risk of develoing heart disease
Posted by IanHealth on September 6, 2011
Researchers from the University of Cambridge selected seven studies assessing chocolate intake and heart health conditions in over 114,000 subjects. While type of chocolate, scientific method, and measured outcome varied among the studies, five of the seven studies produced a beneficial association between chocolate intake and heart health. Compared to those who consumed the lowest level of chocolate products, subjects who consumed the highest level of chocolate products demonstrated a 37% reduction in heart disease and a 29% reduction in stroke.
This meta-analysis, published in the British Medical Journal, suggests that chocolate consumption may significantly reduce the risk of developing heart disease.
