Dark chocolate (70% cocoa or more) is high in antioxidants, the heart-loving flavonoids. It has been associated with a lower risk of developing calcified plaque in the arteries and coronary heart disease.
Consuming chocolate in moderation (less than six servings a week) may decrease your risk of coronary heart disease or stroke.
Some studies show a positive association but they don’t account for other factors that may be involved. Balance is key! Be mindful of sugar and calories. 🍫💖
