Study: Chocolate Reduces Strokes A new study finds that compared with men who reported eating little-to-no chocolate on a regular basis, those who had the highest weekly consumption of chocolate – about 63 grams per week, or just a little more than 2 ounces – reduced their likelihood of suffering a stroke by 17 percent. The latest findings, published in the journal Neurology, are drawn from a population of 37,103 Swedish men, whose age ranged from 45 to 79 at the start of an average follow-up period of about 10 years. The study fills out a picture of chocolate consumption, especially dark chocolate, that has firmly demonstrated cardiovascular benefits for women. For men, however, research on chocolate’s health benefits had been less consistent in its findings. Smiling is contagious; you can catch it like the flu, When someone smiled at me today, I started smiling too.
