“There does not appear to be evidence that chocolate should be avoided in terms of impact on cardiovascular risk.” So conclude the authors of a report published Monday in the august medical journal Heart. Their takeaway is decidedly unsexy (takeaways from well-conducted health studies, which the aforementioned investigation appears to be, often are), but this has not prevented the Telegraph (“Two bars of chocolate a day ‘lowers risk of stroke and heart disease’”); Independent (“Two chocolate bars a day ‘reduce risk of heart attack and stroke’”); Mirror (“Two chocolate bars a day can SLASH the risk of heart disease and stroke”); and others from overselling the study’s finding with their headlines. Don’t believe them.
