Great news for chocolate lovers....Scientists have developed a chocolate bar which slows the signs of ageing.

By using the antioxidant which keeps flamingos pink, a Cambridge University affiliated lab behind ‘Esthechoc’ claims the chocolate improves the skin’s physiology and brought skin biomarkers of a 50 to 60-year-old back to the levels of a 20 or 30-year-old.

Clinical trials showed that volunteers who ate the chocolate daily for four weeks had less inflammation in their blood and an increased blood supply to skin tissue, according to scientists. These affects were thanks to a boost in the level of antioxidants and increased blood circulation, which prevents wrinkles.
