A new medical study out of Sweden indicates that consuming chocolate can help ward off death if one has suffered acute myocardial infarction (i.e. heart attack).
"It seems that antioxidants in cocoa are a like candidate" for explaining the life-saving properties, says Kenneth Mukamal, a researcher in Boston and co-author of the study.
No surprise to me at all. One thing they don't explain in this article is about how important the potency of dark chocolate is to the outcomes. Europeans eat more chocolate that North Americans also.
