Dark chocolate consumption compared with no chocolate consumption is associated with reduction in CRP (C-reactive protein, a marker for heart disease) level independent of consumption of tea, coffee, nuts, and seeds. The amount of dark chocolate consumption associated with significant reduction in CRP level is 20 g (1 serving) every 3 days or 6.7 g/day.
"A small square of chocolate two or three times a week, the researchers note, stressing that, beyond these amounts, the beneficial effect tends to disappear. "If you increase the consumption, the protection is lost, similar to the effects of wine."
One small square, two or three times a week??? Who has that much will power?
