Abstract in brief

The review explores how chocolate and wine can both harm and benefit cardiovascular health, with moderate consumption (around 30-50 grams of chocolate and 130-250 mL of wine) offering potential benefits, mainly due to their phenolic compounds with anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects.
While many studies show positive effects on heart health, some assessments, like the GRADE system, do not confirm these benefits, and factors such as age, sex, body weight, medical conditions, and medication use influence outcomes and interactions.
Overall, evidence suggests that moderate intake of chocolate and wine can improve cardiovascular health, but findings are somewhat mixed and should be considered carefully, especially for individuals on cardiovascular medications.]
