NEW YORK, Dec. 5 (Xinhua) -- A new study found that people who regularly ate chocolate had a lower likelihood of developing Type 2 diabetes, but it was only dark chocolate that was associated with a lower risk of developing the disease, not milk chocolate.
It's not entirely clear why that is, but the researchers believe that dark chocolate offers greater metabolic benefits than milk chocolate because it contains less sugar and higher levels of plant compounds that have been shown in some studies to reduce inflammation and improve insulin sensitivity.
