  • A new study has looked at the link between type 2 diabetes and dark chocolate consumption, finding that it's associated with lower risk

The article from Plant Based News discusses a study published in the journal Scientific Reports which suggests that consuming dark chocolate could potentially lower the risk of developing Type 2 diabetes. The research, conducted by scientists from the University of Copenhagen, analyzed data from over 1,000 participants and found that those who ate dark chocolate had better insulin sensitivity and lower fasting blood glucose levels compared to those who did not. The study highlights the benefits of dark chocolate's high antioxidant content, particularly flavonoids, which are believed to improve insulin resistance and reduce inflammation. However, the article also cautions that while dark chocolate might offer health benefits, it should be consumed in moderation due to its high calorie and fat content, and that a balanced diet and lifestyle are crucial for managing or preventing diabetes.
