Synthetic Flavanol May Treat Colon Cancer
Studies on flavanols have repeatedly shown these compounds to be effective in preventing and/or treating a variety of chronic diseases such as cardiovascular disease and mental health degeneration.
Now, scientists have been able to produce a synthetic version of flavanols, which are naturally found in cacao (chocolates!). In a recent study, they have shown in cell studies that this synthetic version, administered in doses considered similar to what a person might eat or use, may prevent and /or treat cancer, particularly colon cancer.
Erm, maybe I’m missing something. Why would I want a synthetic version, when I could have chocolates instead?!?
