Will Dark Chocolate Every Day Keep The Doctor Away..?
Dear Reader,
Good news for dark chocolate lovers! A new study from Australia appearing in the journal BMJ finds that rich and delicious dark chocolate may lower risks for both heart disease and stroke.
It may be sometime soon that those at high risk of these conditions are urged to eat this type of chocolate each day as a natural way to get the dietary components that offer health benefits to those at risk of cardiovascular disease.
Researcher Christopher M. Reid, PhD, who is a professor of cardiovascular epidemiology and preventive medicine out of Monash University and his team constructed a mathematical model to predict the long term health impact of eating dark chocolate every day in high risk patients. They didn't study real people eating actual dark chocolate, the work was all theoretical, but the time period used in the research, 10 years, was longer than most.
There have been several past studies that have shown dark chocolate, a natural source of heart healthy flavonols, can bring down blood pressure and improve cholesterol numbers. Reid believes his team's work is the first to model the long-term impact of consuming dark chocolate for cutting cardiovascular disease risk.
Reid's team started by examining the treatment effects linked with dark chocolate in studies that are already documented. They computed the number of heart attacks or strokes that might happen with, and without, the dark chocolate.
Using the best-case scenario - all people eating 100 grams (about 2 bars, 3.5 ounces) of dark chocolate per day would prevent 70 nonfatal and 15 fatal heart attacks and strokes per 10,000 patients over a decade according to the model used in the research.
With an 80% adherence rate, 55 fewer nonfatal, 10 fewer fatal heart attacks and strokes would take place in 10,000 people over a ten year period. These estimates could be on the low side according to Reid.
The team also computed if it would be cost effective to spend money on a public education campaign about dark chocolate's benefits. They saw this would be a good investment, budgeting $42 per person per year to spread the word on dark chocolate's benefits with ads, educational campaigns or subsidies to buy dark chocolate.
Researchers also studied 2,013 live subjects who were taking part in the Australian Diabetes, Obesity and Lifestyle study who had metabolic syndrome (a condition that ups the risk of both stroke and heart disease), but were free of both diabetes and heart disease. They saw that for these patients, eating just 3.5 ounces of dark chocolate (with a 70% cocoa content) every day was an effective way to reduce heart disease risk.

Will Dark Chocolate Every Day Keep The Doctor Away..? Continued...
The results have drawn mixed reactions from experts not involved the study who
feel it may be over assuming some benefits of dark chocolate intake. The researchers
looked at intermediate risk factors like blood pressure and cholesterol numbers
and not at actual events. The team also ignored the downsides of dark chocolate
- the potential intake of too many calories as well as the fat and sugar that
are also naturally part of the chocolate.
Anyone at risk for either heart attack or stroke should start by focusing all
their efforts on lifestyle changes. You need to lose weight, be exercising on
a regular basis and not smoke. Talk with your own doctor about eating a small
amount of dark chocolate each day, less than the 100 grams used in the study.
Well known dark chocolate researcher Joe Vinson, PhD, a professor of chemistry
at the University of Scranton who was not part of the study, suggests intake
closer to 40 grams, about one chocolate bar, per day is a healthy amount for
most people.
Also of note, the chocolate should be dark with at least 60% to 70% cocoa content.
To your good health,
