Experimental protocol and methods; 32 overweight or obese women (Body Mass Index 27-35), who are otherwise healthy, will be recruited onto the study. They will attend the 'David Greenfield Human Physiology' laboratories on 3 convenient mornings, following an overnight fast. The 1st visit is a medical screening and will involve signing a consent form, completing a medical screening and food frequency questionnaire, having height, weight, hip/waist circumference measurements taken and a 10ml sample of blood taken for routine analysis. Subjects will then be asked to complete a 3-day diet diary for macronutrient assessment and to consume a diet providing 50% of energy as carbohydrate for 3 days prior to the 2nd laboratory visit. This 2nd visit will involve having a DEXA body composition scan and a 3-hour hyperinsulinaemic, euglycaemic glucose clamp. Starting on the following morning, subjects will then consume a cocoa drink (containing either 450mg or 25mg of CF) twice a day for 28 days. A 3-day diet diary for macronutrient assessment will be recorded during week 3 of taking the cocoa and a standardized diet will be consumed for 3 days prior to the final laboratory visit, as before. This 3rd visit will be identical to visit 2 and occur immediately after 28days of taking the cocoa.
