The team’s research summarising data from 19 trials found potential beneficial effects of flavanol-rich cocoa on cardiometabolic health.
There were small-to-modest but statistically significant improvements among those who ate flavanol-rich cocoa product vs those who did not.
The greatest effects were seen among trial volunteers who ate between 200 and 600 milligrammes of flavanols a day (based on their cocoa consumption).
