"The daily consumption of 40 grams of dark chocolate (chocolate containing 70% cocoa mass) may supply the body with a significant dose of polyphenols, and thus obtain benefits with respect to the prevention of cardiovascular disease and cancer.  The preventive effect will be enhanced if dark chocolate consumption replaces or reduces the amount of the sugary and fat-filled foods consumed."
