The participants to reported effects of weight loss when on this treatment. On the contrary, when on the other treatment of milk chocolate, 4/4 participants experienced effects of bloating, weight gain, and a higher blood pressure and cholesterol level.

 This will be beneficial because  men and women have different metabolic rates, as well as younger versus older subjects.
