We’ve heard that dark chocolate can be good for us and a recent article in the respected medical journal BMJ (British Medical Journal) concluded that chocolate with 60-70% cocoa, lowers blood pressure enough, and lowers LDL (bad) cholesterol enough that it would reduce the risk of heart attack by 1% and reduce the risk of cardiac death by 0.1%. These are based on realistic and reasonable assumptions and were developed into a valid statistical model.
So….time to follow your Willy Wonka instincts and get your chocolate going….just make sure it is of the high ‘cocoa’ variety.
