Apparently chocolate also has the ability to save your life as well. According to a study done in the September issue of the Journal of Internal Medicine suggests that eating chocolate can prevent death in heart attack survivors.
Scientists found, after conducting a study, with men and women, ages 45 to 70, who ate chocolate two or more times a week were three times less likely to die from heart disease than those who never ate chocolate.
“Our findings support increasing evidence that chocolate is a rich source of beneficial bioactive compounds,” the researchers wrote. The results are likely due to cocoa’s antioxidant levels, according to study coauthor Dr. Kenneth Mukamal.
