英國研究顯示，巧克力的香甜氣味能夠降低患感冒的機率。巧克力所含的可可鹼有益神經系統健康，止咳功效勝於普通的感冒藥。

2、降低血壓

德國科研人員對44名健康成年人的調查表明，每天吃熱量不高於30卡路里的黑巧克力，18週後這些人的血壓平均降低2.9毫米汞柱。不過白巧克力和過量食用巧克力卻沒有這種功效。

3、平穩血糖

據報導，意大利一項研究發現，健康人吃黑巧克力連續15天，每天100克，對胰島素的敏感性有所增強。醫生們估計，黑巧克力對糖尿病患者可能有一定的幫助。最新一項研究還發現，黑巧克力中的黃烷醇能起到平穩血糖的作用。

【小貼士】：

一般人群均可食用，但是8歲以下兒童不宜吃巧克力，糖尿病患者應少吃或不吃巧克力（但可吃無糖巧克力）。

巧克力是一種高熱量食品，但其中蛋白質含量偏低，脂肪含量偏高，營養成分的比例不符合兒童生長發育的需要。在飯前過量吃巧克力​​會產生飽腹感，因而影響食慾，但飯後很快又感到肚子餓，這使正常的生活規律和進餐習慣被打亂，影響兒童的身體健康。巧克力含脂肪多，不含能刺激胃腸正常蠕動的纖維素，因而影響胃腸道的消化吸收功能。再者，巧克力中含有使神經系統興奮的物質，會使兒童不易入睡和哭鬧不安。
