An Australian study used a mathematical model to study the effects of dark chocolate on the health of two thousand people at risk for heart disease. In a best case scenario, dark chocolate could prevent seventy heart events for every 10,000 people treated and 15 fatal heart problems.
Dark chocolate contains flavanoids, compounds known to protect the heart.
