Studies have shown that cacao has the greatest concentration of flavonoids in almost any food that we eat, greater even than tea and wine.

Flavanoids are special antioxidant compounds which, like other antioxidants, help fight cell-damaging free radicals.

Flavonoids are also linked to reduced risk of cancer, heart disease, asthma, stroke and cardiovascular disease.
