Chocolate Cuts Heart Failure Risk In Women
I read an interesting article from Guardian.co.uk and it says:
women aged 48-83 finds moderate consumption of chocolate with high-cocoa content lowered heart failure risk Scientist studied 32,000 Swedish women aged 48 to 83 and found out that one or two 19g-30g servings of dark chocolate a week helps reduce heart failure risk by 32%. The compounds, flavonoids, found in cocoa are believed to protect against heart disease and high blood pressure.
So choose dark chocolates over milk chocolates since dark chocolates contain as much as 75% cocoa while milk chocolates only have 20% or less.
