Chocolate makes you fat. In it, experts and lay people agree. But the candy should also be healthy. Dark chocolate can prevent heart attacks, according to an Australian study.
If patients reduce risk of a daily bar of chocolate with a cocoa content of 70 percent or more to eat, they increase the risk of heart attack, according to a published Friday in the journal "British Medical Journal" study. The consumption of dark chocolate could be in a group of 100 000 people 70 fatal and 15 non-fatal heart attacks prevented.
100 grams daily to support a treatment
In the survey of Monash University in Melbourne Australia in 2013 therefore took part with an increased risk of heart attack. The subjects ate 100 grams a day ten years dark chocolate. The consumption of candy could represent an alternative form of therapy or be used in addition to drugs, said study leader Ella Zomer. Dark chocolate contains a number of polyphenols, a type of antioxidants that dilate blood vessels and thereby apparently preventing cardiovascular diseases.
The Australian study confirms a number of earlier studies on chocolate heart protection, such as a meta-analysis of the University of Cambridge, who collected a total of 114 000 subjects. Allen, who makes 100 grams of chocolate each day worrying about her figure, were the studies by the German Institute of Human Nutrition (DIfE) in Potsdam and the Catholic University in Italy Campobasso recommended: Already six to seven grams of chocolate would bring the desired effect on the heart and circuit. Dark, the chocolate but in any case.
