A small quantity of dark chocolate was better than milk chocolate for insulin control and type 2 diabetes prevention, according to a new study.
Eating at least five tiny servings of dark chocolate each week may lower the risk of developing type 2 diabetes by 21%, according to a new observational study. In fact, as dark chocolate consumption increased from none to five servings, so did the benefits, the study found. Before you start scarfing down an entire chocolate bar, however, be aware that a serving is 1 ounce, and it must be dark chocolate to do the trick — milk chocolate lovers are out of luck.
Chocolate can easily fall into the ultraprocessed category — so would a doctor actually suggest that a person at risk for type 2 diabetes eat any chocolate, even if it’s dark? “Chocolate products are candy and contain sugar, so I don’t encourage people to consume chocolate for better glucose control, and I’m not sure that I would on the basis of this study alone,” Mathioudakis said.
