a rich body of evidence that links chocolate to heart health.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now comes a new study that finds people who consume small amounts of chocolate each week have a lower risk of developing

servings [of chocolate] per week\" compared with people who ate chocolate less than once per month, explains study author \u003ca href=\"https://www.hsph.harvard.edu/elizabeth-mostofsky/\">Elizabeth Mostofsky\u003c/a>, an epidemiologist at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health. The findings are \u003ca href=\"http://heart.bmj.com/content/early/2017/05/01/heartjnl-2016-310357\">published\u003c/a> in the journal \u003cem>BMJ Heart.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Atrial fibrillation, also known as AFib, can increase the risk of heart failure, stroke and cognitive impairment. It affects over 33 million people around the globe, and an estimated 25 percent of adults will develop the condition during their lifetime, according to an editorial \u003ca href=\"http://heart.bmj.com/content/early/2017/05/01/heartjnl-2016-311026\">published\u003c/a> alongside the paper.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To assess how chocolate consumption can influence the risk of AFib, Mostofsky and her collaborators analyzed data from a Danish \u003ca href=\"http://epic.iarc.fr/centers/denmark.php\">study\u003c/a> the includes 55,000 people. All of the participants had completed detailed questionnaires about their lifestyles, everything from exercise habits to what they ate and drank, including how much chocolate they consumed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"These people were followed over time,\" explains Mostofsky. \"So we were able to identify all of the diagnoses of atrial fibrillation.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As we've \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/thesalt/2015/06/19/415527652/chocolate-chocolate-its-good-for-your-heart-study-finds\">reported\u003c/a>, prior studies have found that habitual chocolate eaters seem to have lower risks of heart disease. Researchers have found that the compounds in cocoa, known as polyphenols, can improve vascular health by increasing blood flow. Cocoa compounds may also help suppress inflammation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The rule of thumb is that dark chocolate is a better choice than milk chocolate, since dark chocolate typically contains more cocoa solids.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many people in Denmark, where the study took place, typically consume milk chocolate. So Mostofsky says she wasn't sure she'd find such a significant reduction in risk.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We were pleasantly surprised that — despite the fact that most of the chocolate may have [had] relatively low cocoa concentrations — we were still able to see robust findings,\" she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now, these findings are not the green light to add lots of candy bars to your diet. Candy comes with lots of sugar and packs in calories, too. So — though this may seem obvious — moderation is key.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"If you're a chocolate lover, eat a nice, one-ounce piece of chocolate,\" says \u003ca href=\"http://explore.georgetown.edu/people/shermant/\">Tom Sherman\u003c/a>, a professor at the Georgetown University Medical Center, who was not involved in the study.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The reduction in AFib was highest for people who consumed two to 6 servings of chocolate a week. But people who consumed just one serving a week had a reduced risk of the condition as well.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This study is not the final word on how chocolate consumption may influence heart health. And it's possible that the reduction in AFib risk found in the chocolate eaters could be explained by other factors, too.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For instance, the accompanying editorial points out that the chocolate eaters in the study \"had less hypertension, less diabetes and lower blood pressure.\" Also, the chocolate eaters \"had higher levels of education, which is often associated with improved health status.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the editorial concludes that regardless of these limitations, \"the findings are interesting and warrant further consideration.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Indeed, lots of researchers are involved in nailing down the potential health benefits of cocoa.

It affects over 33 million people around the globe, and an estimated 25 percent of adults will develop the condition during their lifetime, according to an editorial \u003ca href=\"http://heart.bmj.com/content/early/2017/05/01/heartjnl-2016-311026\">published\u003c/a> alongside the paper.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To assess how chocolate consumption can influence the risk of AFib, Mostofsky and her collaborators analyzed data from a Danish \u003ca href=\"http://epic.iarc.fr/centers/denmark.php\">study\u003c/a> the includes 55,000 people. All of the participants had completed detailed questionnaires about their lifestyles, everything from exercise habits to what they ate and drank, including how much chocolate they consumed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"These people were followed over time,\" explains Mostofsky. \"So we were able to identify all of the diagnoses of atrial fibrillation.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As we've \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/thesalt/2015/06/19/415527652/chocolate-chocolate-its-good-for-your-heart-study-finds\">reported\u003c/a>, prior studies have found that habitual chocolate eaters seem to have lower risks of heart disease. Researchers have found that the compounds in cocoa, known as polyphenols, can improve vascular health by increasing blood flow. Cocoa compounds may also help suppress inflammation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The rule of thumb is that dark chocolate is a better choice than milk chocolate, since dark chocolate typically contains more cocoa solids.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many people in Denmark, where the study took place, typically consume milk chocolate. So Mostofsky says she wasn't sure she'd find such a significant reduction in risk.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We were pleasantly surprised that — despite the fact that most of the chocolate may have [had] relatively low cocoa concentrations — we were still able to see robust findings,\" she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now, these findings are not the green light to add lots of candy bars to your diet. Candy comes with lots of sugar and packs in calories, too. So — though this may seem obvious — moderation is key.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"If you're a chocolate lover, eat a nice, one-ounce piece of chocolate,\" says \u003ca href=\"http://explore.georgetown.edu/people/shermant/\">Tom Sherman\u003c/a>, a professor at the Georgetown University Medical Center, who was not involved in the study.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The reduction in AFib was highest for people who consumed two to 6 servings of chocolate a week. But people who consumed just one serving a week had a reduced risk of the condition as well.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This study is not the final word on how chocolate consumption may influence heart health. And it's possible that the reduction in AFib risk found in the chocolate eaters could be explained by other factors, too.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For instance, the accompanying editorial points out that the chocolate eaters in the study \"had less hypertension, less diabetes and lower blood pressure.\" Also, the chocolate eaters \"had higher levels of education, which is often associated with improved health status.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the editorial concludes that regardless of these limitations, \"the findings are interesting and warrant further consideration.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Indeed, lots of researchers are involved in nailing down the potential health benefits of cocoa.

Well, when you strip out the sugar and milk that's added to chocolate, you're left with the cocoa bean. And it's the compounds in the cocoa that researchers are most interested in.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The study is part of a growing body of evidence that suggests the bioactive plant compounds found in cocoa beans, called polyphenols, may help protect against heart disease.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"What we're learning is that polyphenols ... seem to improve the health of our \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/thesalt/2014/07/02/327775106/how-dark-chocolate-not-milk-chocolate-may-help-blood-flow\">blood vessels\u003c/a>,\" says \u003ca href=\"http://www.nutrition.tufts.edu/about/welcome-dean-mozaffarian\">Dariush Mozaffarian,\u003c/a> dean of the Friedman School of Nutrition Science and Policy at Tufts University.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As part of the new study, researchers tracked about 20,000 adults in England for some 12 years.

As part of the analysis, the chocolate eaters were broken down into groups based on how much they ate — from the heaviest consumers of chocolate to those who ate the least. \"The group with the greatest benefit generally ate 16 to 100 grams per day,\" Myint writes in an email.

Especially when it comes to food.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And for 40 years now, saturated fat — found in high amounts in meat, cheese and other full-fat dairy products — has been one of our top nutritional demons.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The \u003ca href=\"http://www.health.gov/dietaryguidelines/2015.asp\">U.S. Dietary Guidelines\u003c/a> urge us to limit consumption because of concerns that saturated fat raises the risk of heart disease. But after decades of research, a growing number of experts are questioning this link.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In fact, the authors of a new meta-analysis published in the \u003cem>Annals of Internal Medicine\u003c/em> \u003ca href=\"http://annals.org/article.aspx?articleid=1846638\">conclude\u003c/a> that there's insufficient evidence to support the long-standing recommendation to consume saturated fat in very low amounts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So, let's walk through this shift in thinking: The concern over fat gathered steam in the 1960s when studies showed that saturated fat increases LDL cholesterol — the bad cholesterol — the artery clogging stuff. The assumption was that this increased the risk of heart disease.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But after all this time, it just hasn't panned out, at least not convincingly. When researchers have tracked people's saturated fat intake over time and then followed up to see whether higher intake increases the risk of heart attacks and strokes, they haven't found a clear, consistent link.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In fact, the new study finds \"null associations\" (to quote the authors) between total saturated fat intake and coronary risk. And a \u003ca href=\"http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/?term=Siri-Tarino+Meta-analysis+of+prospective+cohort+studies\">prior analysis\u003c/a> that included more than 300,000 participants came to a similar conclusion.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So, what explains this? Well, researchers say the relationship between cholesterol and heart disease is a lot more complicated than was once understood. LDL is just one indicator of risk.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What's now thought to be a more important predictor of risk is the ratio a person has of LDL to HDL, the \u003cem>good\u003c/em> cholesterol. And there's evidence that, compared with carbohydrates, saturated fat can increase HDL and lower fat deposits in the blood called triglycerides, which, in theory, would be protective against heart disease.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"So when you put this all together,\" says \u003ca href=\"http://www.hsph.harvard.edu/dariush-mozaffarian/\">Dariush Mozaffarian\u003c/a> of the Harvard School of Public Health, a co-author of the paper, what you see is that saturated fat has a relatively neutral effect. It's \"not a beneficial effect but not a harmful effect.

Image: USDAgov/Flickr\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>So, where does this lead us? Lots of experts say the lesson here is that you can't take a reductionist approach to good health.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Look what happened when Americans reduced fat intake at the height of the fat-free boom in the early 1990s, and compensated by eating lots of carbohydrates. All of the calories from refined grains (think fat-free bagels and low-fat cookies) led lots of folks to gain weight.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There were definitely unintended, harmful consequences of the low-fat craze,\" Mozaffarian says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He says the lesson is to get away from recommendations that are built on single nutrients. A healthy diet, he says, should include a wide variety of minimally processed, whole foods such as nuts and vegetable and olive oils (which have some saturated fat), as well as fish, fruits, vegetables and small portions of animal products such as yogurt and cheese. (Surprisingly, the health-promoting \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/2013/11/05/for-mind-and-body-study-finds-mediterranean-diet-boosts-both/\">Mediterranean-style diet\u003c/a> has about 45 percent of calories from fat, including small amounts of meat.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So, if you're still asking the question — is saturated fat good or bad? — the answer, Mozaffarian says, depends on what you're eating instead. He points to another study that found replacing saturated fats with carbohydrates has no benefits.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now, of course, not everyone is convinced by the new studies that question the link between saturated fat and heart disease. Groups including the World Health Organization and the American Heart Association promote a low intake of saturated fat.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And vegan groups do as well. \"I think there is support for removing all animal products from the diet for health purposes,\" says \u003ca href=\"http://www.pcrm.org/media/experts/bios/susan-levin-ms-rd\">Susan Levin\u003c/a> of the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine, which advocates vegan diets.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She points out that two population studies (an \u003ca href=\"http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2671114/\">Adventist Health Study\u003c/a> and a European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition [\u003ca href=\"http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12833118\">EPIC\u003c/a>] study) have shown that the fewer animal products you consume, the less likely you are to have diabetes or to be overweight.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some argue that the type of fatty acids that make up the saturated fat in a food makes a difference, too. For instance, recent studies suggest that the fatty acids in milk and yogurt may be beneficial for heart health. And as we've \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/2014/02/12/the-full-fat-paradox-whole-milk-may-keep-us-lean/\">reported\u003c/a>, researchers are actively studying this full-fat dairy paradox. But processed red meats, also high in saturated fat, are shown to \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/2013/03/06/salami-suicide-processed-meats-linked-to-heart-disease-and-cancer/\">increase the risk\u003c/a> of heart disease and certain cancers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So, saturated fat isn't automatically the bad guy — and shouldn't be demonized, these researchers say.

Especially when it comes to food.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And for 40 years now, saturated fat — found in high amounts in meat, cheese and other full-fat dairy products — has been one of our top nutritional demons.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The \u003ca href=\"http://www.health.gov/dietaryguidelines/2015.asp\">U.S. Dietary Guidelines\u003c/a> urge us to limit consumption because of concerns that saturated fat raises the risk of heart disease. But after decades of research, a growing number of experts are questioning this link.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In fact, the authors of a new meta-analysis published in the \u003cem>Annals of Internal Medicine\u003c/em> \u003ca href=\"http://annals.org/article.aspx?articleid=1846638\">conclude\u003c/a> that there's insufficient evidence to support the long-standing recommendation to consume saturated fat in very low amounts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So, let's walk through this shift in thinking: The concern over fat gathered steam in the 1960s when studies showed that saturated fat increases LDL cholesterol — the bad cholesterol — the artery clogging stuff. The assumption was that this increased the risk of heart disease.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But after all this time, it just hasn't panned out, at least not convincingly. When researchers have tracked people's saturated fat intake over time and then followed up to see whether higher intake increases the risk of heart attacks and strokes, they haven't found a clear, consistent link.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In fact, the new study finds \"null associations\" (to quote the authors) between total saturated fat intake and coronary risk. And a \u003ca href=\"http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/?term=Siri-Tarino+Meta-analysis+of+prospective+cohort+studies\">prior analysis\u003c/a> that included more than 300,000 participants came to a similar conclusion.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So, what explains this? Well, researchers say the relationship between cholesterol and heart disease is a lot more complicated than was once understood. LDL is just one indicator of risk.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What's now thought to be a more important predictor of risk is the ratio a person has of LDL to HDL, the \u003cem>good\u003c/em> cholesterol. And there's evidence that, compared with carbohydrates, saturated fat can increase HDL and lower fat deposits in the blood called triglycerides, which, in theory, would be protective against heart disease.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"So when you put this all together,\" says \u003ca href=\"http://www.hsph.harvard.edu/dariush-mozaffarian/\">Dariush Mozaffarian\u003c/a> of the Harvard School of Public Health, a co-author of the paper, what you see is that saturated fat has a relatively neutral effect. It's \"not a beneficial effect but not a harmful effect. And I think that's what the recent studies show.\" \u003cstrong>\u003cbr>\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_79198\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\" style=\"max-width: 200px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2014/03/my-plate_custom-06d52fd2e8784235068be928c54b0ff3078a7d38.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2014/03/my-plate_custom-06d52fd2e8784235068be928c54b0ff3078a7d38.jpg\" alt=\"The latest study is a challenge to the U.S. Dietary guidelines, which call for consuming mostly low-fat dairy and meat products.

Image: USDAgov/Flickr\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>So, where does this lead us? Lots of experts say the lesson here is that you can't take a reductionist approach to good health.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Look what happened when Americans reduced fat intake at the height of the fat-free boom in the early 1990s, and compensated by eating lots of carbohydrates. All of the calories from refined grains (think fat-free bagels and low-fat cookies) led lots of folks to gain weight.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There were definitely unintended, harmful consequences of the low-fat craze,\" Mozaffarian says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He says the lesson is to get away from recommendations that are built on single nutrients. A healthy diet, he says, should include a wide variety of minimally processed, whole foods such as nuts and vegetable and olive oils (which have some saturated fat), as well as fish, fruits, vegetables and small portions of animal products such as yogurt and cheese. (Surprisingly, the health-promoting \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/2013/11/05/for-mind-and-body-study-finds-mediterranean-diet-boosts-both/\">Mediterranean-style diet\u003c/a> has about 45 percent of calories from fat, including small amounts of meat.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So, if you're still asking the question — is saturated fat good or bad? — the answer, Mozaffarian says, depends on what you're eating instead. He points to another study that found replacing saturated fats with carbohydrates has no benefits.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now, of course, not everyone is convinced by the new studies that question the link between saturated fat and heart disease. Groups including the World Health Organization and the American Heart Association promote a low intake of saturated fat.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And vegan groups do as well. \"I think there is support for removing all animal products from the diet for health purposes,\" says \u003ca href=\"http://www.pcrm.org/media/experts/bios/susan-levin-ms-rd\">Susan Levin\u003c/a> of the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine, which advocates vegan diets.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She points out that two population studies (an \u003ca href=\"http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2671114/\">Adventist Health Study\u003c/a> and a European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition [\u003ca href=\"http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12833118\">EPIC\u003c/a>] study) have shown that the fewer animal products you consume, the less likely you are to have diabetes or to be overweight.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some argue that the type of fatty acids that make up the saturated fat in a food makes a difference, too. For instance, recent studies suggest that the fatty acids in milk and yogurt may be beneficial for heart health. And as we've \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/2014/02/12/the-full-fat-paradox-whole-milk-may-keep-us-lean/\">reported\u003c/a>, researchers are actively studying this full-fat dairy paradox. But processed red meats, also high in saturated fat, are shown to \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/2013/03/06/salami-suicide-processed-meats-linked-to-heart-disease-and-cancer/\">increase the risk\u003c/a> of heart disease and certain cancers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So, saturated fat isn't automatically the bad guy — and shouldn't be demonized, these researchers say. It's just one part of the complex dietary puzzle.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Experts say remember this big picture: Too many calories from any source, whether it's fats or carbohydrates, can lead to weight gain.
