seems like chocolate is good for the heart as researchers have said that consuming chocolate at least once a week is linked with a reduced risk of heart disease. The study, published in the European Journal of Preventive Cardiology, suggests that it helps keep the heart's blood vessels healthy. In the past, clinical studies have shown that chocolate is beneficial for both blood pressure and the lining of blood vessels
The researchers conducted a combined analysis of studies from the past five decades examining the association between chocolate consumption and coronary artery disease (the blockage of the coronary arteries). The analysis included six studies with a total of 336,289 participants who reported their chocolate consumption
During a median follow-up of nearly nine years, 14,043 participants developed coronary artery disease and 4,667 had a heart attack. Compared with consuming it less than once a week, the findings showed that eating chocolate more than once a week was associated with an eight percent decreased risk of coronary artery disease
