- Chocolate may reduce clots
- Posted by joan@adeqres.po.my on November 21st, 2006
Want chocolate every day? New research suggests that it might not be a
bad idea.
Chocolate appears to slow down the formation of clots in the
bloodstream, although it's
not nearly as effective as a daily baby aspirin. Still, the finding
came as a surprise.
Doctors credit the "flavonoids" in chocolate with preventing platelets
from sticking
together. Diane Becker of Johns Hopkins University told HealthDay:
"Chocolate that's
flavonoid-rich, that's dark, that's good quality, that's not traveling
with all of its bad
friends like sugar and fat, probably has some fairly potent pro-health
benefits."
