A Woman Can Cut Her Stroke Risk By Eating This...
Dear Reader,
Just two chocolate bars a week is all it takes, according to some new research out of Sweden, for a woman to bring down her stroke risk. This latest work builds on earlier findings in men and women, but also provides us with some new information on stroke type in chocolate eaters.
A team of researchers from Sweden's Karolinska Institute examined 33,372 subjects taking part in the Swedish Mammography Cohort who were from 49 to 83 years old, for a period of ten years that ended in 2008.
The participants answered questions about how often they ate chocolate and 95 other foods during the previous year. The subjects were broken into 8 categories depending on how much chocolate they ate. The groups ranged from an astonishing "never" to a far more reasonable "3 or more times each day".
During the follow up period, 1,549 strokes took place, and of that total, 1,200 were brought on by clots or another disturbance of the blood vessels. Burst vessels caused another 224, and the reason for the last 125 was not specified. But even after adjusting for stroke risk factors, Larsson and the team saw that chocolate was protective. This may be because it helps to lower blood pressure, a major risk factor for stroke.
Stroke protection began at over 45 grams (almost 1.5 ounces) of chocolate a week, the group that ate the most chocolate got the most benefit, cutting their stroke risk by 20%. In this group the median intake (half of intakes above this point, half below) was almost 2.3 ounces of chocolate per week. And while earlier studies have shown a link between chocolate eating and stroke risk, this project uncovered a slight difference in the protection in terms of the type of stroke.
Those subjects who ate the most chocolate were protected a whole lot more from strokes due to hemorrhage than those brought on by obstructions like blood clots. No one is sure why this difference in protection might be.
Chocolate, besides tasting divine, is loaded with beneficial flavonoids that are a natural part of the cocoa and act as antioxidants once inside the body. They help protect our cells from free radical damage that can be especially troublesome for the cardiovascular system.
An intriguing quirk of nature means chocolate has eight times the antioxidants that are a natural part of strawberries.

Also important, the study used Swedish milk chocolate and this variety has about
30% cocoa solids, while the milk chocolate commonly sold in the U.S. probably
has much less than this amount. Dark chocolate naturally has higher amounts of
cocoa and is lower in sugar, fat and calories as well.
What's more, only 1/3 of the fat in dark chocolate is known to be bad for you.
This is just another bit of research that finds health benefits to chocolate,
but before you tuck in, make a wise and informed choice in order to get the benefits
(without the nasty calories, adding pounds) to your body. Many experts recommend
chocolate with at least 70% cocoa, based on earlier research that found the higher
concentration of cocoa lowers the risk of heart disease.
The work appears in the American College of Cardiology.
To your good health,
