A Belgian confectionist has created the special chocolate bar containing high levels of flavonoids -- a plant compound that has been shown to reduce heart risk factors -- to be used in the experiment. Soy, another natural source of flavonoids, has also been added to the bar.
Participants, who must be postmenopausal women under the age of 70, will have their risk of heart disease tested on five occasions during the year to see whether change occurs.
The chocolate diet!"The hypothesis of this exciting study is that flavonoids may improve the level of protection against heart disease over and above that provided by conventional drugs," said Dr. Ketan Dhatariya, a consultant in diabetes at the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital.
As a scientist, I am interested in studying the effects of chocolate consumption on the female body. By focusing on female participants, I can gather more specific and accurate data for my research.
To participate in this study, you must be a female who regularly consumes chocolate. There are no other specific qualifications required.
Your data will be used solely for scientific research purposes and will be kept confidential. It will contribute to a better understanding of the effects of chocolate on the female body.
Unfortunately, there is no compensation for participating in this study. However, your contribution to scientific research is greatly appreciated.
The duration of this study may vary depending on the number of participants and the data collected. However, it is estimated to last approximately 6 months to a year.
