Consumption of chocolate was not always bad. Several recent studies indicate that high consumption of chocolate can control insulin sensitivity and regulates blood pressure.
Large-scale study led by Dr. Oscar Franco of the University of Cambridge involving 114,009 volunteers, to determine the impact of eating chocolate on the risk of cardiovascular diseases such as heart attacks and strokes.
Some volunteers are known to already exist that have a heart disorder while others do not. Furthermore, researchers conducted a comparison between those who consumed the most chocolate and a bit.
The results found that eating lots of chocolate could actually reduce the occurrence of cardiovascular risk. Volunteers who ate chocolate in the maximum number is at 37 percent lower risk of experiencing cardiovascular events compared with those who take it in small amounts.
According to researchers, those who ate the most chocolate had a 29 percent lower risk of stroke compared with that take it in small amounts. In fact, any variation in the consumption of chocolate does not have an impact on the occurrence of heart failure.
But in this study the researchers did not specify the type of chocolate in question, whether the milk chocolate or dark chocolate. Researchers realize that chocolate is high in calories, which can cause weight gain, thus contributing to cardiovascular disease and type-2 diabetes.
Therefore, the researchers concluded that greater emphasis today is how to reduce sugar and fat content of chocolate to reap the most out of chocolate consumption.
Meanwhile, researchers in Germany who published his research in the European Heart Journal found that eating a small box of chocolate every day can lower blood pressure and heart disease risk.
