Combining this research with four previous studies, including a nearly identical study on women, and reanalyzing the results showed that men and women who ate the most chocolate had a 19% lower risk of stroke compared to those who ate the least chocolate.

BOSTON (CBS) – It sounds like research that people would line up to take part in – a study to see whether the nutrients in dark chocolate can help prevent heart attacks and strokes.

The flavanol capsules are coated and have no taste, lead researcher Dr. JoAnn Manson told the Associated Press.
