A Harvard study has found that consuming dark chocolate may reduce the risk of developing type 2 diabetes. Here are the key findings:

  1. Reduced Risk: Eating at least five servings of dark chocolate per week was associated with a 21% lower risk of developing type 2 diabetes.
  2. Flavanols: The beneficial effects are attributed to flavanols in dark chocolate, which boost metabolic health.
  3. Milk Chocolate: In contrast, milk chocolate did not show the same benefits and may contribute to weight gain.
  4. Study Details: The study analyzed data from over 190,000 participants over 30 years, focusing on their chocolate consumption and health outcomes.
