Imagine a
new chocolate that keeps you younger looking. lt seems too good to be true, but
a team of scientists believes they have
invented anti-ageing chocolate. A laboratory.
working with the UK's Cambridge University
have been working on a method to keep away
wrinkles and keep the skin looking younger. lt
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 úill 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 ctrocolate bar will
only be sold in boxes of 21 bars - one a day for thfee weeks. Other scientists say;mbre research is
needed for people to know whether or not Esthechoc actually works.
