05 Aug 2020 --- Consuming chocolate at least once a week is linked to a reduced risk of heart disease, according to research. Published in the European Journal of Preventive Cardiology, the study suggests that chocolate can help maintain the health of the heart’s blood vessels. The team found that compared with consuming chocolate less than once a week, eating chocolate more than once a week was associated with an 8 percent decreased risk of coronary artery disease. The team notes that further research is warranted to determine which type of chocolate and what portion is most beneficial.
