Scientists unveil non-fattening chocolate that is good for your heart

Scientists have finally found a new way to consume chocolate - in the form of tablets, which they claim are healthy and non-fattening. They believe that cocoa extract containing cocoa flavanol improves blood circulation and keeps heart healthy.
Confectioners are making a plenty of other supplements with an addition of flavanol, while the world's leading chocolate manufacturer Barry Callebaut plans to launch flavanol tablets as well. These tablets have already been approved by the European health authorities which agreed they really helped the heart remain healthy.
The EU food safety officials have confirmed that 200mg of flavanol really improves blood circulation, thus having a positive effect on health in general.
However, in order to take 200mg of flavanol, people would have to eat two dark chocolates containing 350 calories and 20g of fat or four milk chocolates containing 900 calories.
