Now! As an incorrigible chocoholic, what about this!
Any Chocoholic Attendees at the European Society of Cardiology meeting in Paris have just been given this wonderful news. Chocolate Biscuits and puddings could cut the risk of heart disease by a third.
A total of over 100000 people took part in seven studies which have then been analysed by Scientists at Cambridge University. Where in people they found the highest intakes of chocolate consumption they also found a 37% reduction in cardiovascular disease and a 27% reduction in strokes, as compared to those with the lowest intakes of chocolate.
I am sorely tempted to leave this factoid at that, but honesty dictates. They also delivered a health warning. The results have to be treated with caution. Commercially available chocolate is high in calories which if eaten too much can lead to diabetes and heart disease.
I am left wondering if a bar of good quality chocolate and a good walk is a solution!
I wish you well
