From the BBC: Chocolate lowers blood pressure.
A mouthful of dark chocolate each day could reduce blood pressure, cutting the risk of stroke, research suggests.
Forty-four people with raised blood pressure were put into two groups. One ate six grams of dark chocolate daily, the other the same amount of white.
The first group saw blood pressure fall slightly, but the others saw no change, researchers wrote in the Journal of American Medicine (JAMA). [continue]
You know, dear heart, you need a whole category for Chocolate in the News! “Food” doesn’t cut it.
You’re absolutely right, Michael. I’ve added a ‘chocolate’ category, and will update the chocolate-related posts to put them into that category.
I’ve been thinking of doing this for a while, but where will it end? Do I need a beer category, too? A wine category? A vodka category? Perhaps a “things I like to consume are good for one’s health” category? Much to contemplate.
Oh dear – I didn’t mean to make it that complicated!
