    British researchers say occasionally tucking into a bar of chocolate may actually be good for you

    British researchers say occasionally tucking into a bar of chocolate may actually be good for you


    Scientists have found moderate consumption - up to three bars a month - cut a person's risk of heart failure by 13 percent.

    Researchers believe flavonoids in the chooclate boost blood vessel health and help reduce inflammation.

    But a warning in the research as well...those who eat chocolate daily see their risk of heart failure increase by 17 per cent.
