    Good or bad? Top cardiologist gives verdict on chocolate, coffee and wine

    Pretty much what we would expect. Real chocolate (not mike chocolate) and coffee (without the gut busting needless add-ons) are good. Wine is at best neutral.


    Good or bad? Top cardiologist gives verdict on chocolate, coffee and wine

    Dark chocolate is a “joy” when it comes to keeping your heart healthy, coffee is likely protective, but wine is at best “neutral”, according to one of the world’s leading cardiologists.

    After stepping down from his role in charge of the world’s top cardiovascular medicine journal, Lüscher has given his verdict on one of the most frequently asked heart health research questions: are wine, chocolate and coffee good or bad for you?


    “Are wine, chocolate, coffee forbidden joys? Well, wine is truly a joy but at best neutral when consumed in moderation. Chocolate is a joy for our CV [cardiovascular] system, if consumed in dark, bitter form. And coffee? It wakes us up, less so if you drink it regularly, and at that dose of up to four cups a day, might even be protective.”

    Sure but there are also parts of the body that we would lie to survive or improve other than the heart.

    What about pork tenderloin wrapped in bacon? I'm thinking as long as you have a glass of red wine with it, you're good to go.

    I bet some of that comes from your military training/service. I recall you saying you mostly wolfed the rations down without messing too much with the heating contraptions.

    True. But MREs suck and you don't really eat them slow to enjoy them.

    Plus I became an NCO early compared to others. That meant less time to eat and sleep. Planning ops and taking care of the troops.
