Chocolate - A Help in Treating Diabetes, Strokes & Dementia?
Today while researching healthy chocolate I found this article, this is just one many I read today. I just pulled parts of the article that follows, you will find a link to the full article below.
Now wouldn't it be a dream come true if diabetics could use chocolate to treat their illness? A two day conference (25 -26 July 2005) in Switzerland convened by Mars Inc., the chocolate confectionery company, discussed research that indicates flavanols in chocolate may indeed be instrumental in helping in diabetes.
Molecules in cocoa credited for the "heart-healthy" benefits of certain cocoa and dark chocolate may also in the future help treat diabetes, strokes and vascular dementia, and could soon be available to pharmaceutical companies for development into new medications, scientists say.
Researchers said their findings point toward a potential major new class of medications, based on novel synthesized flavanols, to help prevent or treat serious illnesses. "The mounting scientific evidence on cocoa flavanols is extraordinary," said Dr. Norm Hollenberg, Professor of Medicine at Harvard Medical School and one of the first researchers to identify the potential health benefits of cocoa flavanols. "This is a scientific breakthrough that could well lead to a medical breakthrough."
