Eating chocolate may slightly lower your risk of stroke
ConclusionThis study used a large prospective cohort of English residents to estimate the risk chocolate poses to cardiovascular death and disease. In addition, they systematically combed the research literature for other similar studies, combining their results with that of other researchers. By comparing the highest chocolate consumers with chocolate abstainers, they found that chocolate was linked to a lower risk of stroke and cardiovascular disease. The risk for coronary heart disease was not statistically significant. Results from the meta-analysis of eight additional studies showed higher chocolate consumption was li...

Chocolate intake and heart disease and stroke in the Women's Health Initiative: a prospective analysis.
Conclusion: We observed no association between chocolate intake and risk of CHD, stroke, or both combined in participants free of pre-existing major chronic disease. The relation for both combined was modified by age, with a significant positive linear trend and an increased risk in the highest quintile of chocolate consumption among women age <65 y. This trial was registered at clinicaltrials.gov as NCT03453073. PMID: 29931040 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Chocolate consumption and risk of stroke: A prospective cohort of men and meta-analysis
Larsson et al.1 investigated the association between chocolate consumption and risk of stroke in men, concluding that moderate chocolate consumption may lower the risk of stroke. We performed a prospective mechanistic study that may suggest a potential mechanism for this observation.

Lower your stroke risk—eat some chocolate!
“Take one chocolate bar a week for a healthy heart.” This advice isn’t being given out yet by our doctors, but researchers at Stockholm’s Karolinska Institute found that men who ate the most chocolate—about 2.2 ounces per week—had a 17% lower risk of stroke than men who ate little or no chocolate. 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.

Chocolate and risk of chronic disease: a systematic review and dose-response meta-analysis

Habitual chocolate consumption and risk of cardiovascular disease among healthy men and women
Conclusions Cumulative evidence suggests that higher chocolate intake is associated with a lower risk of future cardiovascular events, although residual confounding cannot be excluded. There does not appear to be any evidence to say that chocolate should be avoided in those who are concerned about cardiovascular risk.

Even Milk Chocolate Is Good For You, According To New Study
Chocolate is good for your heart — sort of, maybe. Eating up to 3.5 ounces (100 grams) of chocolate daily is linked with lowered risks of heart disease and stroke, scientists reported today (June 15) in the journal Heart. That amount of chocolate is equal to about 22 Hershey's Kisses, two Hershey bars or two bags of M&M's, depending on how you want to divvy up this good news. "There does not appear to be any evidence to say that chocolate should be avoided in those who are concerned about cardiovascular risk," the researchers concluded in their paper. Their new study is based on a meta-analysis of eight previously pu...
