Dark chocolate and diabetes, Harvard study finds
Can eating dark chocolate reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes? A Harvard study suggests so. Tracking more than 1 million nurses for 25 years, researchers found that consuming five or more servings of dark chocolate weekly reduced their risk of diabetes by 21%. The secret lies in flavanols, compounds present in dark chocolate that may promote metabolic health. But don’t rush to the candy aisle just yet! Milk chocolate showed no such benefits and was linked to weight gain. Experts stress that this study does not prove cause and effect and recommend more research. With type 2 diabetes on the rise, especially in India, this discovery provides a tasty potential addition to a balanced diet.
