VIENNA, Austria – Doctors soon could soon recommend some dark chocolate to help patients suffering from liver cirrhosis and from dangerously high blood pressure in their abdomen, according to research presented at the annual meeting of the European Association for the Study of Liver. The Spanish study showed that eating dark chocolate reduced damage to the blood vessels of cirrhotic patients and also lowered blood pressure in the liver. Dark chocolate contains potent antioxidants which reduce the after-meal blood pressure in the liver associated with damaged liver blood vessels. April 15, 2010
