Chocolate Easter Eggs (photo by Scott M. Liddell, courtesy of morgueFile.com)

There’s been no shortage of news reports over the past several years as to health benefits associated with eating chocolate. An article in the European Heart Journal has just added to the good news for chocolate lovers, coming just in time to make chocolate Easter eggs and bunnies even more enjoyable.

Some years ago professor Roger Corder, author of The Red Wine Diet, Drink Wine every day and live a long and healthy life, told us that “…eating dark chocolate could help you live a longer healthier life.” Alas, he did say in moderation. Now, researchers in Germany have concluded, “Chocolate consumption appears to lower cardiovascular disease risk, in part through reducing blood pressure.”

The scientists did add, “Further research is needed, in particular randomized trials.” We don’t think finding test subjects ready to consume a little chocolate every day will be a problem.
