What's really in each captivating chunk of chocolate? When it comes to chocolate, what tastes good may be good for your heart, but moderation remains the rule. Anyone can explain?

The flavinoids in chocolate help the blood platelets in oour blood but chocolate also contains a lot of oil so moderation is the key. a little every day is really good for the heart.

I think it is good for the heart, well at least the dark chocolate ones and you still have to eat them in moderation.

According to one of the study's findings, the flavonoids present in chocolate--polyphenols--also inhibit the activity of platelets in blood. Platelets are helpful in clotting, but they can also be associated with heart attacks and strokes.
