Mars Inc. conducted a two-day meeting in Switzerland in July, and the company announced the conclusions of several studies demonstrating the flavanols found in cocoa and dark chocolate have heart health benefits and may boost blood flow to certain regions of the brain. Mars scientists have discovered that entire "libraries" of cocoa flavanols can be synthesized, and that new flavanols can be developed from natural flavanols. Mars' product lines CocoaVia and Dove Dark guarantee at least 100mg of flavanols per bar (150mg for Dove). Following the conference, Mars announced the creation of a new business unit: Mars Nutrition for Health & Well-Being.  , www.cocoavia.com
