The article i read is called "Eating Dark Chocolate May Keep The Heart Healthy" and its by the journal of nutrition. In the article the main point they are trying to get out is that eating dark chocolate regularly may help lower levels of inflammation. Inflammation is strongly associated with heart and blood vessel diseases, so there fore by keeping your inflammation levels low, you will keep away from heart and blood vessel diseases. The presence of your inflammation is determined by measuring levels c-reactive protein, a bio-maker for coronary artery disease. The researchers explain that people who eat more dark chocolate, which is rich in several anti oxidants, might have lower CPR levels. I thought this article was very interesting but also very confusing and i would recomend it to people who like to read about staying healthy.

I am a grad student at the University of Minnesota who is currently living in the land of chocolate which is Switzerland. I have heard of the good benefits of eating chocolate, but in moderation!!
