According to news reports from the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm
" Heart attack survivors who eat chocolate two or more times per week cut their risk of dying from heart disease about three fold compared to those who never touch the stuff, scientists have reported. Smaller quantities confer less protection, but are still better than none, according to the study, which appears in the September issue of the Journal of Internal Medicine. Earlier research had established a strong link between cocoa-based confections and lowered blood pressure or improvement in blood flow. It had also shown that chocolate cuts the rate of heart-related mortality in healthy older men, along with post-menopausal women".
Apparently this new study, led by Imre Janszky (Karolinska Institute) is the first to demonstrate that consuming chocolate can help ward off mortality if one has suffered a heart attack.
Really?
