Chocs reduce heart attacks.
You really wouldn't know what to believe nowadays, this article was in todays newspaper.CHOCS REDUCE HEART ATTACK RISK BY 1/3
Munching chocolate can cut a persons risk of heart disease by a third, it's claimed. The tasty treat reduces the inflammation that leads to the condition, scientists believe.
Researchers looked at seven different studies on the issue and found five supported the health benefits of munching on the snack
They also indicated that chocolate can reduce the likelihood of stroke and diabetes.
People who ate around 7.5g of it per day were found to have a 37 per cent reduced risk of heart disease and a 29 per cent reduction in stroke compared to those eating very little chocolate.
The research, published by the British Medical Journal, covered more than 100,000 people.
There's more but thats the jist of it, I'm off for an extra large box of Milk tray before the shop closes.

I heard that the other day but the suggestion comes with a sting in the tail...He told the BBC the findings were "promising", but needed further research to confirm any protective effect.
The study also warns that chocolate can lead to weight gain and Type 2 diabetes. It suggested that chocolate could one day be used to protect from heart problems and stroke - if the sugar and fat content of chocolate bars was reduced.
As always all things in moderation
