The consumption of dark chocolate,
even though it is clear that it does not
raise serum cholesterol, blood pressure
or induce LDL oxidation, should be
considered carefully because it is not
sure if it affects any of these things in a
favorable manor.
Studies showing significant improvement
have used much greater amounts of
chocolate than those who did not show
favorable results. This indicates that
to get any significant effects from dark chocolate
you would need to eat at least 100
grams each day this would add 530
calories to your diet daily. Unless the
subject could cut calories in some other
way, this kind of increase would lead to
significant weight gain, overweight and
obesity.

Studies have shown that consumption of
either cocoa in a beverage or small
amounts of dark chocolate has
improved the arteries ability to relax and
expand in order to accommodate
additional blood flow, this hasnt
however, been shown to lower blood
pressure.
It is presumed that cocoa
causes the release of nitric oxide is the
reason for this effect. There has been
no evidence from studies to show that
eating cocoa products affects the risk of
hypertension, and in addition, the
amount of chocolate needed to produce
results would cause weight gain, weight
gain has been proven detrimental in the
fight against hypertension.
