Dark Chocolate Can Help Heart Problems

Posted: Updated:

A new study finds dark chocolate can help people already at risk for heart problems.

Australian researchers followed at risk patients who ate dark chocolate on a regular basis and found it lowered the risk of heart attack and stroke.

The authors say doctors may want to consider encouraging their patients to eat a little dark chocolate daily because it can help lower blood pressure and cholesterol.
