Sweet Therapy: Chocolate May Help Prevent Irregular Heartbeat
By Cari Nierenberg, Live Science Contributor | May 23, 2017 06:30pm ET
Eating chocolate has been linked with a reduced risk of heart disease and stroke, and now a new study from Denmark suggests that regular consumption of the treat may help to prevent the development of atrial fibrillation, a type of irregular heartbeat.
Researchers found that adults in the study who ate chocolate at least once a month — or more frequently than that — had rates of atrial fibrillation that were 10 to 20 percent lower than those who ate chocolate less than once a month, according to the findings published today (May 23) in the journal Heart.

I have a family history of a-fib. I wonder if my insurance covers dark chocolate?
