Eating dark chocolate can protect against heart disease and stroke, Scientists claim, adding that men derive more health benefits from it than women. The benefits include anti-clotting effects which are activated within two hours in both sexes, and with greater impact in men.

The benefits include anti-clotting effects which are activated within two hours in both sexes, and with greater impact in men. Having a piece of chocolate a day could be the secret to staying heart healthy, according to Scientists at the University of Aberdeen Rowett Institute of Nutrition and Health, the ‘Daily Mail’ reported. “It’s an acute effect in the body that men and women both benefit from, but it’s more diluted in women. These findings are not a carte blanche to eat chocolates as they are extremely rich in fat and sugar,” lead Researcher Dr Baukje de Roos, from the Rowett Institute, said. “But probably eating a little bit of dark chocolate containing at least 70 per cent cocoa every day is going to do more good than harm,” she added. Researchers from the Rowett joined Institute of Food Research in Norwich to study what happened in the blood of 42 healthy volunteers, 26 women and 16 men, after they ate dark chocolate specially boosted with cocoa extract. They were investigating the effect on blood-clotting, the result of over-activity of platelets that stick together blocking blood vessels that can lead to heart attacks and strokes. Compounds called flavanols which are found in cocoa, tea and apples, appear to have a beneficial effect on platelet function — and they are higher in cocoa-rich chocolate. The platelet function of people eating the enriched dark chocolate was compared with platelet function in those who had eaten dark chocolate — with a lower cocoa and flavanol content — and white chocolate. Blood and urine samples were taken and then analysed two hours and six hours after chocolate consumption. The Scientists were looking at a range of platelet function tests such as platelet activation — a reversible process where platelets are starting to get stressed and sticky — and platelet aggregation — an irreversible process when sticky platelets clump together. They discovered the specially enriched dark chocolate significantly decreased both platelet activation and aggregation in men, but only cut platelet aggregation in women. The strongest effects were seen two hours after the chocolate had been eaten, said the report published in Molecular Nutrition Food Research.

Radical prostatectomy is most often done when the cancer has not spread beyond the prostate gland. This is called localized prostate cancer. Your doctor may recommend one treatment for you because of what is known about your type of cancer and your risk factors. Or, your doctor may talk with you about other treatments that could be good for your cancer. These treatments may be used instead of surgery or after surgery has been performed. Factors to consider when choosing a type of surgery include your age and other medical problems. This surgery is often done on healthy men who are expected to live for 10 or more years after the procedure.
