Levels of beneficial flavonoids are generally higher in dark chocolate, but milk chocolate may pack a health punch, too. In an analysis of studies involving 20,951 people, researchers at the University of Aberdeen in Scotland suggested that those who ate the most chocolate over an average of 11.3 years (most of it milk chocolate) had a lower risk of coronary heart disease and stroke than those who ate the least amount or none at all. But go easy; a 1.55-ounce bar of milk chocolate has 235 calories and 22 grams of sugar.
