Chocolate study volunteers wanted
« on: April 23, 2009, 09:01:51 pm »
Volunteers are wanted by researchers to see how compounds in dark chocolate might help fight heart disease.

The scientists in Aberdeen aim to assess how flavonoids, found naturally in cocoa, could fend off disease.

Forty volunteers aged between 18 and 70 will be asked to eat a cocoa-rich dark chocolate specially made for the study, standard chocolate, or white chocolate.

Urine and blood samples will then be taken to assess the impact the compounds have on blood function.
...Anyone interested in taking part in the study, who has no health problems, can contact 01224 716693  or email [email protected]
