A nibble a day of dark chocolate helped lower blood pressure without packing on the pounds, German researchers said on Tuesday.
Prior studies have shown foods rich in cocoa like dark chocolate offer heart benefits, but researchers have worried the added sugar, fat and calories would cancel out any good the chocolate might do.
Now it seems just a 30-calorie (0.126 kilojoule) bite of dark chocolate -- equivalent to 6.8 grammes or a quarter ounce -- can lower blood pressure without weight gain or other negative side effects.
"Regular intake of small amounts of dark chocolate can help to lower blood pressure," said Dr. Dirk Taubert of University Hospital of Cologne, Germany, whose study appears in the Journal of the American Medical Association.
