Chocolate is Good for Your Heart
A study carried out in Germany over eight years has found that chocolate maybe good for your heart. They compared how much chocolate was in the diet ofalmost 20,000 people to the number of heart attacks and strokes people had.Lead researcher Brian Buijsse said: "Chocolate is not as bad as we used to think,and may even lower the risk of heart disease and stroke." Mr Buijsse's teamfound that dark chocolate was the healthiest kind to eat; milk chocolate hasfewer effects and white chocolate no effects.
The German study showed that people who ate the most chocolate reduced their risk of having a heart attack by 27 per cent. The risk of suffering a strokewas cut by 48 per cent. Nutrition experts believe that natural compounds inchocolate called flavonols are good for our heart. Flavonols also help reduceblood pressure. They are found in cocoa beans, and this is why dark chocolate,which has more cocoa, contains more of them than milk chocolate, which hasmore fat. Buijsse warns people not to suddenly eat lots of chocolate: "Eatinghigher amounts will most likely result in weight gain. If people start eating smallamounts of chocolate, it should replace other high-calorie sweets or snacks."
