Can chocolate be sweet for your heart? A growing body of research suggests the answer is a qualified yes.

The latest is a small study done in Italy indicating that eating chocolate could have an effect on blood pressure and protect against diabetes. Participants who ate 100 grams of dark chocolate ? equivalent to a little more than two 1.45-ounce Hershey's Special Dark chocolate bars ? every day for 15 days had lower blood pressure and improved sensitivity to insulin, meaning they were better able to metabolize blood sugar. Those who ate roughly the same amount of white chocolate every day saw no improvement in these areas.
