Believe it or not, men eating chocolate remain healthier than non-chocolate eaters, especially when they grow old. Researchers at the University of Oulu and Helsinki have revealed this fact after a long study, which enmeshed about 1,367 men, born between 1919 and 1934 and found that among these men 860 were eating chocolate for years while 399 were having other sweets and remaining men were having no sweets at all.
The chocolate eaters had slimmer waists, were less prone to diabetes and were somewhat better educated than those who ate other types of sweets. Interestingly, men constituting this group said that they felt healthier, less depressed and lonely and were having sanguine attitude towards life.
No doubt, like previous studies, this study has also dubbed eating chocolate as a health-friendly habit. However, utterly associating better health of these men with chocolate would just be a lop-sided assumption. Because other factors like their positive attitude towards life, higher education level, etc., etc. could also be playing a part in it.
