 Volunteers will be required to eat chocolate every day for a year. Wow! Tough Job! |
A university study of potential health benefits of dark chocolate is looking for new volunteers.
Forty post-menopausal women with type 2 diabetes are needed to test whether flavonoid compounds in chocolate can reduce the risk of heart disease.
Chocolate Every day - No Change There!
The study's first volunteers ate chocolate every day for a year and will soon be tested for any health benefits.
The University of East Anglia (UEA) in Norwich said its research had now entered a "really exciting stage".
Health Checks
Dr Peter Curtis, of the UEA's School of Medicine, said: "Our first volunteers are about to return for their final visit to see if the markers of heart health - such as blood pressure and cholesterol levels - have changed.
"A successful outcome could be the first step in developing new ways to improve the lives of people at increased risk of heart disease."A chocolate coated Pill indeed!
