AbstractTwo recent studies on the effects of chocolate consumption and incidence of heart failure suggest that consuming increasing amounts of chocolate is associated with declining risk of hospitalization or mortality from heart failure. Yet this effect levels off as consumption increases and may even decline with high chocolate consumption. These associations between risk and consumption can be described by a U-shaped graph. This graphic pattern is not unique to chocolate but also may be used to describe a wide array of natural supplements and their impact on health.
