SubscribeI’ve got a funny ticker, so I know what to stock up on at the grocery store next time: red wine and dark chocolate. It’ll be hard to choke it down every day, but, well, I’ll manage.
After two hours, ultrasound scans revealed that dark chocolate – made up of 74 per cent cocoa solids – significantly improved the smoothness of arterial flow, an effect which lasted eight hours.
When the experiment was repeated with white chocolate – with only four-per-cent cocoa – there was no effect, the study published in Heart medical journal said.

I adore dark chocolate. This will be a reason for me to consume a moderate amount daily, which is recommended.
