A member asked:

Can you tell me how is dark chocolate good for your heart?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Nobody knows: It just is. (seriously, it's thought to contain anti-oxidants but the mechanism hasn't been established). It's an epidemiological observation. In other words, it simply has been observed that groups that consume more dark chocolate have a lower incidence of heart disease. So go for it!
