Eating chocolate may halve death risk

[Cap'n Refsmmat]

It seems that chocolate lovers are finally vindicated.

 

In a Dutch study of elderly men, those found to consume the most amount of cocoa were half as likely to die of a heart attack than those with the least cocoa - even when other risk factors were taken into account.

 

Unfortunately for chocolate lovers, scientists still don't recommend eating chocolate in large amounts to prevent disease. It's a compromise.
