Attention dark chocolate fans: Eating a little bit of dark chocolate every day is good for your heart, according to new research.

Members of the study ate one one square of the German chocolate bar Ritter Sport (yum!) every day. By the end of the study, they had lower blood pressure than those who ate white chocolate.
