Chocolate may benefit Heart Health

A Study in Sweden showed that people who ate chocolate were less likely to suffer from a fatal heart attack. However, it did not show any benefit in relation to non-fatal incidents. There are more than a few problems with the study...

It was done as a survey. This study showed correlation, not causation. People that eat some chocolate could have many other things in common that are good for health. The doctor in charge, Kenneth J. Mukamal, MD, cautions that chocolate is not without it's downsides and should still be consumed in moderation.
