The results of the analysis of study results show that, in addition to lowering blood pressure and improve blood vessel health, the consumption of flavonoid-rich chocolate can lower bad cholesterol (LDL) and raise good cholesterol (HDL) in people under the age of 50 years.
Consumption of flavonoid-rich cocoa is also associated with decreased risk factors for diabetes. Diabetes is also a major risk factor for heart disease.
