    According to a study published in the journal BMJ, people who eat at least 140 grams of chocolate per week have a 10% lower risk of developing type 2 diabetes than those who eat little or no chocolate.

    Dark chocolate contains polyphenols, which have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties that help the body regulate blood sugar levels, said nutrition researcher Binkai Liu at the Harvard TH Chan School of Public Health.

    These polyphenol compounds play an important role in reducing the risk of type 2 diabetes. Therefore, dark chocolate is a healthy choice for chocolate lovers, Binkai Liu added.

    According to nutritionist Toby Amidor, eating dark chocolate in moderation is good for your health. Each day, a serving should be limited to no more than 28 grams of dark chocolate.
