Hi,

 

Which DC brands have more Flavonoids? Is Aldi/Lidl's the same as Tesco's, Lint'ds, green and blacks,etc.

 

 

 

look here;

http://www.chocolatnaturel.com/

Chocolate is one of the best food ever when Flavonoids / Catechins are preserved. We have a 5% R&D budget on that and are already quite succesful in reaching a good level (180 mg per 100g - compared to 50mg in most dark chocolates).

 

The European community agreed to delivered an approved health certificate to Acticoa because of its 200mg of Flavonoids / Catechin per servng and its proven effects in 14 days on the elasticity on blood vessels.

The math here seems a little off to me.

 

200mg of "Flavonoids / Catechin" per serving seems out of range.

 

I'm seeing ~20mg/100g as fairly common for dark chocolate (a 90% Lindt chocolate contains 15mg in a 100g serving, while their 70% offering contains 20mg in a 100g serving):

On the "Chocolat Naturel" it lists the glycemic index as 55 for a 95% chocolate bar -- this seems high... just a plain dove dark chocolate hits around 23.
