BEST STUDY IN THE WORLD SAYS CHOCOLATE CUTS RISK OF DEATH

At last a study that tells us exactly what we want to hear: chocolate can cut the risk of early death by up to ten per cent. Researchers arrived at their findings by studying the health records from 84,709 post-menopausal women in the US over a 19-year period. They found chocolate-eaters were less likely to die of heart disease and some cancers compared with people who never indulge. And women who eat almost an ounce a day had the least risk of dying young from any cause, it concluded. The findings support previous studies suggesting antioxidants in cocoa beans help repair damaged cells in the body. Cocoa is also known to lower blood pressure and stop fat buildup in arteries.
