A recent study from University of Cologne shows that Dark chocolate seems to lower blood pressure, but it requires an amount less than two Hershey's Kisses to do it. The new research offers evidence linking dark chocolate with health benefits, but it's the first to suggest that just a tiny amount may suffice. The researchers states that blood pressure reductions with dark chocolate were small but still substantial enough to potentially reduce cardiovascular disease risks. So if you are "chocoholic", you still have to restrain your appetite.

I wonder why girls send their boyfriends chocolate on Valentine's Day. Do they hope the chocolates would help to lower their BFs blood pressure?
