of the 1990s, authors Aaron and Bearden were among the first to
communicate to the media the news that dark chocolate may enhance
health, helping to launch the first "heart healthy" chocolate brand
for a global chocolate company. A recent study by the Research
Laboratories of the Catholic University in Campobasso, in
collaboration with the National Cancer Institute of Milan, Italy
and published in the Journal of Nutrition claims that 6.7 grams of
dark chocolate per day represent the ideal amount for a protective
effect against inflammation and subsequent cardiovascular disease.
