Volunteer stint: Eat chocolate!
Too bad we aren't in England. British researchers are looking for a particular kind of volunteer to eat a chocolate bar a day for a year!
You must be a woman with Type 2 diabetes. Half the women in the year-long study will eat a super-charged chocolate bar containing 30 grams of flavonoids found in soy, cocoa and other fruits and vegetables. The others will get chocolate without the active compounds. The researchers will look at whether the compounds help reduce blood pressure, cut cholesterol levels and improve the condition of arteries.
You never know when an unusual opportunity might appear. Maybe they'll do the study in the U.S. On second thought, I'd probably be in the control group. That's no fun. Jaimie Hall-Bruzenak
