Eating two chocolate bars A DAY

Scientists now say that regularly tucking into a few pieces of chocolate may actually be good for us. A study has found that people who regularly eat chocolate are less likely to fall victim to strokes and heart disease.
The findings – based on a 12-year study of 21,000 Britons – suggest that eating dark or milk chocolate could be beneficial for health.
People at risk of heart disease are often told to exclude sweet and fattening foods from their diet.
But the researchers, whose work was published in the medical journal Heart, said: ‘There does not appear to be any evidence to say that chocolate should be avoided by those who are concerned about cardiovascular risk.’

They found that people who regularly ate chocolate – some of whom consumed up to 100g a day – were 11 per cent less likely to have a heart attack, stroke or other cardiovascular problem than people who ate none at all.

For me, dark chocolates especially those 75% above cocoa content are better than milk chocolates. Just don't overeat.

 

thanks for this info @Darling..and instead of regular chocolate eat dark chocolate then slowly cut down the amount you consume and before you know it you don't need it anymore.Have a well-balanced meal in order to not get addicted to a certain type of food. Remember, too much is never good.
