It's Not Candy, It's Heart Medicine

As little as two tablespoons of dark chocolate a day may be good for your heart. "Our research shows that chocolate makes blood platelets less sticky, which means they are less likely to form a blood clot. It may offer health benefits to people who are at risk for clots in their heart or brain blood vessels," says Nauder Faraday, MD, an associate professor at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine.
