Regular Chocolate Eaters Have Lower Risk Of Heart Disease...
Dear Reader,
Chocolate lovers can celebrate this good news. A large new research project finds that chocolate may be good for both the heart and brain.
In fact, eating chocolate regularly could reduce the risk of heart disease and stroke by almost one third according to researchers out of the University of Cambridge in the U.K.
However, there is a down side... candy bars, cookies and drinks are also high in sugar, fat and calories, so if you indulge too much, you'll gain weight, and increase your risk of heart disease.
Heart disease is actually a broad term that's used to cover a variety of diseases that affect the heart. These include disease of the blood vessels (coronary artery disease) problems with heart rhythm (arrhythmias), infections or defects of the heart that are with you at birth.
Heart disease is also used to refer to conditions that involve narrowing or blockage of blood vessels that can lead to chest pain, a heart attack or stroke.
Earlier research has found that chocolate might offer some protection against high blood pressure and diabetes. Both of these conditions are risk factors for both heart disease and stroke.
But until now, there's not been a large study that looked at whether chocolate does have an impact on the risk of heart disease. So researcher Oscar H. Franco, MD, PhD and his colleagues examined the results of 7 published studies that included more than 100,000 subjects to see if there was a link between chocolate and heart attack and stroke.
Those who ate the most chocolate had a 37% smaller risk of heart disease; 29% lower risk of stroke compared to those who ate the least amount of chocolate.
None of the studies distinguished between dark and milk chocolate, or the form the chocolate took - bars, drinks or cookies.
It's also important to understand that the study doesn't prove that chocolate lowers heart disease - there could be other factors that the chocolate eaters share that explain their better heart health.
The findings do make you wonder just what's in chocolate that's so beneficial to the heart?

Regular Chocolate Eaters Have Lower Risk Of Heart Disease... Continued...
While this wasn't covered under the scope of this research, the researchers credit
the polyphenols, a type of antioxidant, that are able to up the body's production
of nitric oxide. This is likely to bring an improvement in blood pressure and
the flow of blood through the arteries.
In moderation, the experts explain, chocolate isn't bad for you.
We know that chocolate is made from plants, and this means it naturally has many
of the same health benefits as veggies do.
A small (3.5 ounces/day) amount of dark chocolate has been shown to be helpful
in bringing down blood pressure and cholesterol (LDL, the bad kind), while also
stimulating endorphin production which gives you a pleasant feeling, delivering
serotonin which acts as an antidepressant and bringing your body theobromine,
caffeine and other substances that help pick you up.
What's more, only a third of the fats in chocolate have been shown to be bad
for you.
The findings on chocolate and blood pressure, considered impressive by some experts
due to the size of the study and the reduction in heart disease and stroke, were
presented at the 2011 European Society of Cardiology Congress, and published
online in BMJ.
To your good health,
Kirsten Whittaker
