Does chocolate reduce blood pressure?
Does chocolate reduce blood pressure?
Yes!
More or less, anyway. Link is to an abstract of some research that looked at various studies done with chocolate. Their conclusion:
Our meta-analysis suggests that dark chocolate is superior to placebo in reducing systolic hypertension or diastolic prehypertension. Flavanol-rich chocolate did not significantly reduce mean blood pressure below 140 mmHg systolic or 80 mmHg diastolic.
