Now, the caveats:First, the research was partly funded by a chocolate company-and indfpendently funded studies are obviously preferable in the nutrition world. Second, the study size was pretty, so more data needs to be gathered on a wider range and number of people.And finally, though flavanole are naturally found in cocoa, the average candy bar isn' exactly a great source (whereas cocoa powder or dark chocolate are.)Undaunted? Try these brilliant ways to add cocoa powder to your meals and these raw chocolate truffle recipes.
