US Study: Dark Chocolate Reduces Type 2 Diabetes Risk by 21% with Five Weekly Servings, Lowers Blood Pressure
Dec 5, 2024, 05:34 AM
Recent studies suggest that regular consumption of dark chocolate may significantly reduce the risk of developing Type 2 diabetes. A US study indicates that eating at least five servings of dark chocolate each week is associated with a 21% lower risk of this condition. The findings are based on three large prospective cohorts and highlight the potential health benefits of dark chocolate, including lowering blood pressure and improving blood flow to the brain and heart. However, researchers emphasize the need for clinical trials to confirm these observations and understand the underlying mechanisms. While dark chocolate appears to provide these protective effects, similar benefits have not been observed with milk chocolate.
