As per the studies by the Scientists, the cardiovascular health of one can be improved with the help of flavanol-rich cocoa products such as dark chocolates.

A systematic review and meta-ananlysis of 19 randomised controlled trials (RCTs) of cocoa consumption was conducted by the scientists, in which the meta-ananlysis aims on whether intake of flavanol-rich cocoa products was allied with progress in specific circulating bio-markers of cardio metabolic health as compared to consuming placebos with negligible cocoa flavanol content. Total of, 1,139 volunteers were occupied in these experiment.

According to Simin Liu, professor at Brown University in the US, “Our meta-analysis of RCTs characterizes how cocoa flavanols affect cardio metabolic biomarkers, providing guidance in designing large, definitive prevention trials against diabetes and cardiovascular disease in future work”.

“We found that cocoa flavanol intake may reduce dyslipidemia (elevated triglycerides), insulin resistance and systemic inflammation, which are all major subclinical risk factors for cardiometabolic diseases,” added Liu.
