There may be good news for people looking for an apology, munch on a few squares after a review found chocolate that the treatment could reduce blood pressure.
An analysis of the 20 studies showed that dark chocolate every day eat a slight drop of in blood pressure led.
Report of the Cochrane Group said chemicals in cocoa, chocolate key ingredient, relaxing blood vessels.
However, there are healthier ways to lower blood pressure.
The theory is that cocoa contains Flavanols, which produce a chemical in the body called nitric oxide. This relaxed ' ' blood vessels pass through blood, facilitates lowering blood pressure.
However, studies have raised mixed results. The Cochrane analysis combines previous studies to see if it really was an effect.
There was a huge selection in the amount of cocoa consumed, from 3 g to 105 g per day by each participant. However, the overall picture was a small decrease in blood pressure.
A Systolischer blood pressure under 120mmHg (millimeters of mercury) is regarded as normal. Cocoa led to a reduction of blood pressure 2-3mmHg. Length of the trials was only two weeks, so that the longer term effects are not known.
Run Karin Ried, researchers from the National Institute for integrative medicine in Melbourne, Australia, said: "Although we blood pressure still do not have evidence of a continuing decline, reducing small we at short notice saw could complement other treatment options and may help reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease."
High blood pressure is both General and deadly. It became a worldwide to 54% of strokes and 47% of cases of coronary heart disease.
But not the ideal way to lowering blood pressure packs chocolate lots of fat and sugar, and cocoa is so.
Dark or milk?
There was also a warning in the medical journal Lancet, that dark chocolate contains less Flavanols than you might think. Dark chocolate counter as milk chocolate contains a higher cocoa so more Flavanols should contain, but they can also be removed since they have a bitter taste.
Victoria Taylor, of the British Heart Foundation, said: "it is hard to tell exactly would need what quantities of a rich cocoa, a positive effect and consider the best way for people to get."
"Most studies conducted within a short time it is to know whether the benefits could be maintained in the long term also not possible." The 100 g of chocolate, which had consumed are daily in a number of studies would also with 500 calories - that's a quarter of the recommended daily allowance of a woman come.
"Beans, apricots, blackberries and apples contain also Flavanols and, while lower volumes than in cocoa contains, it doesn't come with the unhealthy extras in the chocolate found."
