Harvard: Cocoa has Extraordinary Health Benefits

Harvard researchers analyzed 21 separate scientific studies on cocoa, a key component in dark chocolate, and concluded that cocoa consumption is associated with cardiovascular as well as other health benefits. 

Dr. Eric Ding of the Harvard Medical School tells Newsmax Health that his extensive research reveals that cocoa lowers blood pressure, improves the health and elasticity of blood vessels, and improves cholesterol levels. Because it improves blood flow, the benefits seem also to extend to the brain and have important implications on learning and memory.
