Abstract in brief

  • A meta-analysis of 14 prospective studies found that higher chocolate consumption is linked to a reduced risk of coronary heart disease, stroke, and diabetes, with the strongest effects seen at around 2 servings per week.
  • The benefits of chocolate appear to be nonlinear; eating more than 6 servings per week does not further decrease risk, and the optimal protective level seems to be about 2 to 3 servings per week.
  • Overall, moderate chocolate intake, roughly 6 servings per week, may be most beneficial in helping prevent these cardiometabolic diseases.]

@The_Nutrivore @strangetruther "For both CHD and stroke, there was little additional risk reduction when consuming chocolate ≥3 servings/week (one serving was defined as 30 g of chocolate). For diabetes, the peak protective effect of chocolate emerged at 2 servings/week" https://t.co/ZUB9Ts9lzq

He leído que por ley se quiere prohibir la publicidad destinada a niños de chocolate. El cacao y el chocolate negro son grandes alimentos https://t.co/18f3UxCv3D https://t.co/OFJqM4YFSM
