In assessing the potential vascular impact of cocoa in children, is also important to remember that the positive effects are mediated by the absorption of monomeric flavonols in the small intestine, thus the type of carbohydrate content is important (Rodriguez-Mateos et al., 2012) and so is the vehicle to administer the cocoa, i.e., milk, since lactase non-persistance, lactose maldigestion and lactose intolerance could interfere with the cocoa absorption (Heaney, 2013). Here, LCT is linked to lactose intolerance.
