Chocolate lovers.... Good news!!
We have one more excuse to eat chocolates!!
Eating dark chocolate can prevent heart disease!!!
Flavonoids, which occur naturally in cocoa beans, cut the risk of dangerous blood clots and relax blood vessels, stimulating the flow of blood around the body. Flavonoids tend to be higher in dark chocolate, as it has a higher cocoa content.

He does have a few suggestions: "Lindt 85 per cent is what I have been eating. Their 75 per cent Ecuadorian chocolate is also very good."
