Chocolate to beat heart disease
Patients with high risk of heart disease such as those with Type-2 diabetes are to be given a new bar of chocolate as daily medication against angina and heart attacks.
The specially-devised chocolate bar isn't your run-of-the-mill Mars or Dairy Milk but is a form of chocolate scientists have created. And this chocolate could potentially have a better effect on beating heart problems than many currently prescribed drugs.
The chocolate treatment is still in trial form at the moment but we've got our fingers crossed that in a couple of years you'll be prescribed chocolate on the NHS!
