Doctor Wants To Test Treating Heart Patients With Chocolate

Doctor Wants To Test Treating Heart Patients With Chocolate:
"Dr. Roger Corder, William Harvey Research, London UK, is applying for permission to treat 40 patients who have cardiovascular diseases with plain chocolate.

(Dark Chocolate = Plain Chocolate. No milk in it)

Recent studies have shown that flavonoids are good for blood pressure, strokes and heart disease. Flavonoids are found in chocolates. Flavonoids are said to lower one's levels of bad cholesterol. "


of course:
"it depends which dark chocolate you are talking about. He acknowledges that not all dark chocolates are good for you. He believes it will take about a year before it is clear which dark chocolates could be used for his study. He stressed that recent research indicating the benefits of chocolate for health should not been seen as an excuse for an Easter chocolate feast."
