Benefits of Chocolate

Now, here’s a news item I can really sink my teeth into! This is an evidence-based article about the Benefits of Chocolate by Kathleen Hoffman. She cites studies that show that dark chocolate consumption is associated with a decrease in coronary artery disease (i.e. heart disease that can lead to a heart attack). A meta-analysis of ten clinical trials showed that dark chocolate can lower LDL and total cholesterol, which can reduce the risk of stroke and heart attacks. Read the article and let me know what you think!
