Moreover, all participants were divided into three groups. Made up the first drink of cocoa, which contained 500 mg of flavonoids, those who were in the second – the drink, the content of flavonoids which was 250 mg, and the rest  no cocoa at all of these substances. According to lead study author, Professor of Psychopharmacology, Center for Rights at the University of Swinburne David Kemfilda, this effect is caused by consumption of cocoa is just the action it contains flavonoids.
