The objective of this study is to examine the association between chocolate intake and the risk of future cardiovascular events. We conducted a prospective study using data from the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer (EPIC)-Norfolk cohort. Habitual chocolate intake was quantified using the baseline food frequency questionnaire (1993-1997) and cardiovascular end points were ascertained up to March 2008. A systematic review was performed to evaluate chocolate consumption and cardiovascular outcomes. A total of 20,951 men and women were included in EPIC-Norfolk analysis (mean follow-up 11.3±2.8 years, median 11.9 years). The percentage of participants with coronary heart disease (CHD) in the highest and lowest quintile of chocolate consumption was 9.7% and 13.8% and the respective rates for stroke were 3.1% and 5.4%. The multivariate-adjusted hazard ratio (HR) for CHD was 0.88 (0.77-1.01) for those in the top quintile of chocolate consumption (16-99 g/day) versus non-consumers of chocolate intake. The corresponding HR for stroke and cardiovascular disease (CVD defined by the sum of CHD and stroke) were 0.77 (0.62-0.97) and 0.86 (0.76-0.97). The propensity score matched estimates showed a similar trend. A total of 9 studies with 157,809 participants were included in the meta-analysis. Higher compared to lower chocolate consumption was associated with significantly lower CHD risk (5 studies; pooled RR 0.71 (0.56-0.92)), stroke (5 studies; pooled RR 0.79 (0.70-0.87)), composite cardiovascular adverse outcome (2 studies; pooled RR 0.75 (0.54-1.05)) and cardiovascular mortality (3 studies; pooled RR 0.55 (0.36-0.83)). Cumulative evidence suggests that higher chocolate intake is associated with a lower risk of future cardiovascular events though residual confounding cannot be excluded.There does not appear to be any evidence to say that chocolate should be avoided in those who are concerned about cardiovascular risk.
