You're not going to get these protective flavanols in most of the candy on the market,' said Dr Manson. 'Cocoa flavanols are often destroyed by processing.'Participants will get dummy pills or two capsules a day of cocoa flavanols for four years, and neither they nor the study leaders will know who is taking what during the study. The flavanol capsules are coated and have no taste, said Dr Manson, who has tried them herself.
In another part of the study, participants will be given dummy pills or multivitamins containing a broad range of nutrients.
Previous studies have suggested that cocoa flavanols could help dementia sufferers.Ian Maconald from the University of Nottingham gave 20 volunteers different types of cocoa with high and low levels of flavanols -- ranging from 450mg to 13mg per cup.
