Breaking News: Chocolate lovers! No need to control your appetite to have more chocolates. As it is proved, dark chocolate can reduce risk of brain stroke.

In a new study, scientists at Johns Hopkins University have claimed that dark chocolates prevent and protect brain strokes. 

The researchers have found a compound called epicatechin in dark chocolate that affects human brains tremendously. 

The test was conducted giving a small dose of epicatechin to some animals by cutting of blood supply to their brains. The animals had less brain damage. It worked significantly, the researchers said. 

The best thing is only dark chocolates carries epicatechin that causes less brain damage to human brains like animals in the test.

While most treatments against brain stroke in humans are given within a two- to three-hour time window to be effective, epicatechin causes less damage when given to mice 3.5 hours after a stroke.
