Besides taste good, the researchers found that dark chocolate or dark chocolate can prevent heart disease in two ways.
Two benefits contained in dark chocolate improve flexibility it is hardened arteries, and prevents white blood attaches to the inside of the vessel wall. Both conditions it can form plaque, which block the vessels and causes heart disease.

These findings tracked the members of the Dutch study of 44 middle aged men and overweight given 70 grams of dark chocolate and milk per day for two periods of four weeks each.
Composition in chocolate is healthy for the heart of the organic mix called flavanols, which are also found in vegetables, fruits and green tea.

Gerald Weissmann, editor of the FASEB Journal that published the study, said the researchers found there was something in flavanols from dark chocolate that makes people more liked than milk chocolate.
"In this controlled study, performed for the first time, they give the same amount of flavanols in dark chocolate and plain chocolate. And respondents did not eat the amount of flavanol diets differ in their eating. Yet they eat more dark chocolate because it is more like it," he said.

Researchers evaluated the respondents' tendency to prefer dark chocolate and asked them to rate the effect of chocolate on their senses of smell and tongue.
"So, the psychological component or dark chocolate flavor that fix, first of all, flexibility and response vessels to blood flow, and secondly, how neutrofils-or white-blood cells stick to blood vessels and the third, signs of inflammation," he said.
And the knowledge that dark chocolate is good for the heart, so do not make respondents feel guilty for eating their favorite snacks.
In the future, researchers are likely to develop a therapy that has the same health benefits of dark chocolate.
