Wanted: Women to eat chocolate for a year

SCIENTISTS are looking for women willing to eat chocolate every day for a year.

Researchers at the University of East Anglia and a hospital in Norwich, eastern England, are trying to find out whether chocolate can cut the risk of heart disease and need 40 women to step forward and help.

Most of the women will have to eat two bars of “super-strength chocolate specially formulated by Belgian chocolatiers” daily and undergo tests to measure how healthy their hearts are. The others will have to eat regular chocolate as a placebo.
