Good news for women and confectionary makers around the world, with new research showing health benefits from eating more chocolate.

The article published in the Oct 18th issue of Journal of the American College of Cardiology studied more than 33,000 Swedish women who did not have any medical history of stroke, heart disease, cancer or diabetes and were between the ages of 49 and 83. The ladies completed surveys on 350+ dietary and lifestyle indicators.

Cocoa has antioxidants. This can help with heart disease and stroke among other things. To much is not good for you, of course.

This is good to know. If we can eat a piece of dark chocolate for desert it may help our sugar cravings and also be good for our hearts.
