Ate a little too much chocolate over Easter did we??

Ok this is literally to make you feel better if you over-indulged over the weekend, now further studies have to be made, so don’t get carried away with chocolate scoffage!!

Soooooo, according to Brian Buijsse, PhD, of the German Institute of Human Nutrition patients who consumed the greatest amount of chocolate, about 7.5 grams per day had significantly lower blood pressure and risk of stroke than those who ate the least about 1.7 grams per day. Oh suddenly my devouring chocolate over the weekend has turned into a health drive, how fabulous, ’twas all planned of course!! Anyway as already mentioned, Buijsse states “It’s a little early to make recommendations,” cautioning that more studies are needed, before you chocolate lovers get carried away!

Whilst the study differentiates little between types of chocolate, our advice would be to stick to the good stuff 70% cocoa solids baby, you know how we do! Er and that doesn’t replace your greens ladies so don’t even think about it!!
