Question: Chocolate is very popular. Are you trying to benefit on this and use it as a 'medicine' to diabetes?

I have made no money from my chocolate research.
I don’t think it is a medicine, it is a food that may have benefits, but also as it contains lots of energy and fat there are risks too.
Cocoa has been used for these effects for hundreds of year, Aztec warriors used it for energy, it is only with modern science we can try to understand how it can work
