The role of chocolate!

(adapted form an email from a PhD student)

I am a nutrition PhD student and I am researching nutrition and healthy ageing, with a particular focus on chocolate’s role. The study is looking for volunteers from in and around the Lothian area aged between 50 to 60 years. Approval from the Research Ethics Committee at Queen Margaret University has been obtained.

Here is a link for some more information on the study: https://www.qmu.ac.uk/news-and-events/news/20170608-edinburgh-and-lothian-chocolate-lovers-wanted-for-university-study/

If you would like any further information about the nature of this study please do not hesitate to get in touch and I will be more than happy to help.
