This tasty treat drops your heart disease risk by 57%

When I tell people to eat more healthy foods, I get a look of “Great, more veggies.” Well, today I’m going to tell you about a health food that tastes absolutely wonderful. And, technically, it’s not a vegetable!

Two new studies have found incredible health benefits of chocolate.

In the first study, researchers conducted a review of multiple medical studies on dark chocolate. What they found not only confirms what I’ve been telling you — that it’s quite good for you. It may also have therapeutic benefits. In other words, eating dark chocolate can lead to improvements in blood pressure, blood vessel endothelial function, and a dip in insulin levels. The latter means that your insulin might be working better.

Powerful extract targets cancer cells

For years I’ve told you about unique remedies that might help prevent, treat, and sometimes even reverse different types of cancer. Among these remedies are artemisinin, cayenne pepper, bioflavonoids like resveratrol, and others. Well, according to a recent study, you can add a new one to the list.

In the study in mice on head and neck cancer, researchers found that grape seed extract is highly effective at suppressing tumor growth. It led to selective damage to cancer cells' DNA and DNA repair, yet left healthy cells unharmed. Grape seed extract may be another molecule that can target peculiar weaknesses of cancer metabolism. 

Here’s a great way to ruin your sex life

I’ve written before about how some doctors are riding the PSA test all the way to the bank. They end up treating men with aggressive treatments for prostate cancer even when a simple change in diet and some supplements are often more than enough to do the job.

Indeed, statistically speaking many of these men would be better off if they did nothing at all. Now a new study shows just how frequently a common treatment for prostate cancer can cause impotence. I was amazed at these numbers.
