In this podcast, we explore a study on whether chocolate high in flavanols can protect skin from the sun. Flavanols are antioxidants found in cocoa beans, fruits, and vegetables. The study involved women aged 20-65 consuming chocolate daily for 12 weeks. Researchers measured skin protection using the minimal erythema dose (MED), which indicates sun sensitivity. By tracking MED changes, they assessed the impact of chocolate consumption on skin reaction to UV radiation. The study aimed to determine if flavanols in chocolate could provide additional antioxidant protection for the skin. Stay tuned to learn more about the fascinating findings!
