as seen on the BBC news website -

Volunteers are wanted by researchers to see how compounds in dark chocolate might help fight heart disease. The scientists in Aberdeen aim to assess how flavonoids, found naturally in cocoa, could fend off disease.
Forty volunteers aged between 18 and 70 will be asked to eat a cocoa-rich dark chocolate specially made for the study, standard chocolate, or white chocolate.

Anyone interested in taking part in the study, who has no health problems, can contact 01224 716693 or email l.ostertag@abdn.ac.uk

This may be a slightly daft question but can you only take part if you live in Scotland?

40 is not enough to get any clear results.

Hmm I am guessing I would be ruled out of this even though it is to study platelets, because I have low platelets.

Look's like I should be eating lots of chocolate though

No but you have to go to Aberdeen every 2 weeks for the bloode tests.

Can you prove this? And what if it is only a preliminary study?

btw, they have had over a 1000 responses so I suspect there are more than enough to fulfil the study criteria
