Chocolate is no longer a guilty pleasure, in fact it is good for health, apparently lowering blood pressure and cutting the risk of heart attacks and strokes.
A study made by German nutritionists has produced results that many chocoholics have been dreaming of for years.
They monitored more than 19,000 people and their chocolate consumption over a decade, finding those who ate the most got the greatest benefit.
The experts found eating 7.5 grams of dark chocolate could reduce your risk of a heart attack or stroke by 39 per cent and could also lead to lower blood pressure.
As always there is a disadvantage: the most expensive, purest chocolate is the best for you.
The nutritionists found dark chocolate produced the best results as it contains at least 70 per cent of cocoa.
