Chocolate may cut heart disease
Researchers have produced more evidence that dark chocolate may help to reduce the risk of serious heart disease.
They found eating a few squares a day may stave off artery narrowing and hardening in smokers by countering the disruption caused by their habit.
Smoking compromises the activity of both endothelial cells, which line the artery walls, and platelets, which are involved in blood clot formation.
The research, by University Hospital, Zurich, is published in Heart.
