Default Chocolate may reduce clots

Want chocolate every day? New research suggests that it might not be a
bad idea.

Chocolate appears to slow down the formation of clots in the
bloodstream, although it's

not nearly as effective as a daily baby aspirin. Still, the finding
came as a surprise.

Doctors credit the "flavonoids" in chocolate with preventing platelets
from sticking

together. Diane Becker of Johns Hopkins University told HealthDay:
"Chocolate that's

flavonoid-rich, that's dark, that's good quality, that's not traveling
with all of its bad

friends like sugar and fat, probably has some fairly potent pro-health
benefits."
