Flavanol-rich cocoa improves blood vessel function in aging baby boomer study participants: "New research published in the latest issue of the Journal of Hypertension, has found that flavanol-rich cocoa helps to improve blood vessel function, especially in older adults. Researchers at Harvard and Brigham and Women's Hospital looked at healthy adults to see how their blood vessel function was affected by a flavanol-rich cocoa beverage. At the end of the study, the greatest improvement in blood vessel function was seen in the men and women over the age of 50."
