Can chocolate really help prevent heart disease? Some people say it will actually increase it. Well they were wrong. Researchers say that chocolate is good for your heart. They tested more than one hundred thousand people with and without heart disease. Milk and dark chocolate work, but they say that dark chocolate is a little bit better for you because it has more antioxidants and helps reduce blood pressure. They compared those who ate large amounts of chocolate to those who ate smaller amounts of chocolate. They tested it and said those who consumed more chocolate reduced the risk of having heart disease by one third. Also chocolate eaters were 29% less likely to have a stroke, including all types of chocolate. Dark chocolate also helps keep off type 2 diabetes. But don't eat alot of chocolate, eat it moderately, because chocolate is high in calories and fat which can lead to obesity and diabetes. So watch what you eat and get the right nutrients every day.
