The flavonoids in dark chocolate may provide an element of protection for blood vessels. And healthy blood vessels should reduce risk for heart disease. That sounds good. But I wonder about the long term effects of the extra fat and calories in the typical dark chocolate candy bar?
If you would like to read more about the relationship between dark chocolate and blood vessels in one study, I recommend an interesting article by Daniel DeNoon of WebMD.com. (Keep in mind that this article does not give the reader any information about important study details such as the calories or grams of fat in the chocolate.)
