...perhaps the study was sponsored by the Choc manufacturer, and it was their way of testing a new product?

Bit pointless otherwise - would be similar performing a study to see if living at zero gravity helped prevent heart problems:D:confused:
 
I guess they didn't want to be seen marketing a particular brand.

Maybe they are hoping that several manufacturers will try and formulate something that aligns with their experimental bar.

This is great news because I have a berry smoothie for breakfast every morning. Occasionally have a flapjack with dark chocolate on top, just need to work on the red wine now.

I haven't been drinking much but going home this weekend so maybe I'll have red wine instead of lager 😉
 
oh damn, just read properly and it's type 2 diabetes :( ruins my plans :D
 
I think we should experiement to see if it also works for T1's. In fact as long as I can still eat Green & Black's and don't need special chocolate, I've already been taking part in this experiment for years anyway.

And it is true anyway, because I haven't had a heart attack!
 
What does placebo chocolate taste like? and placebo berries?

Come on - we want you to not have chocolate for 12 months, who are they kidding.
