Scientists invent anti-ageing chocolate.
Imagine a new chocolate that keeps you looking younger. It seems too good to be true, but a team of scientists believes
that they have invented anti-ageing chocolate. A laboratory working with the UK's Cambridge University has been working
on a method to keep away wrinkles and keep the skin looking younger. It has called its new product 'Esthechoc'. This is a
combination of the words 'esthetic' (meaning all things beautiful) and 'chocolate'. The new product is also called
Cambridge Beauty Chocolate. The makers will start selling it from next month. The laboratory has not said anything about
the price yet, but it is likely to be quite expensive. The lab hopes young, rich business executives will buy it.
The laboratory used a special chemical called an antioxidant in the chocolate. The antioxidant they used is one that gives
flamingos their pink colour. The scientists say that the antioxidant can bring parts of the skin of a 50 to 60-year-old person
back to the levels of a 20 to 30-year-old. They said people who ate the chocolate could see changes in their skin within just
three weeks. A spokesman for the laboratory said it took a decade of research and trials with more than 3,000 volunteers
to produce Esthechoc.
The chocolate bar will only be sold in boxes of 21 bars one a day for three weeks. Other scientists say more research is
needed for people to know whether or not Esthechoc actually works.
