Chocoholics

Chocoholics are being warned to be sceptical about claims that chocolate is good for the heart. Scientists sponsored by a confectionery maker say new research suggests that chocolate thins the blood and may help prevent blood clots. Eating chocolate as part of a balanced diet could help maintain a healthy heart and circulation, they propose.

But the British Heart Foundation told BBC News Online that the claims were reckless and people would get more nutrients from eating fruit and vegetables. Natural compounds in cocoa called flavonoids are believed to be responsible for the reported positive benefits of chocolate.
