A PIONEERING new study has shown that eating more flavonoids can potentially reduce the risk of heart disease for women with diabetes.
The study, led by the University of East Anglia (UEA), investigated the impact of the natural compound on postmenopausal women with type 2 diabetes and found that eating certain foods seemed to reduce the risk of heart attacks and strokes.
A total of 93 women took part in the project to look particularly at the impact of flavonoids ? a naturally occurring compound that occurs in foods and drinks including many fruits and vegetables, tea, red wine and dark chocolate.
