A member asked:

I learned that a little dark chocolate every day is good for your heart. is that true?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Diet: There are components in dark chocolate which appear to benefit the cardiovascular system. I don't think there are rigorous controlled studies however that prove that we should all munch a little dark chocolate daily.
