Milk and absorption of dietary flavanols
Article Abstract:
According to Serafini, dark chocolate alone or with milk, increases the anti-oxidant capacity of human plasma. The results indicate that the interaction between the milk proteins and chocolate flavonoids curbs the in vivo antioxidant activity of chocolate along with the absorption of epicatechin in the blood stream.

Plasma antioxidants from chocolate
Article Abstract:
The consumption of dark chocolate results in an increase in the total antioxidant capacity and the epicatechin content of blood plasma. These effects can be reduced when the chocolate is consumed with milk, as milk interfere with the absorption of antioxidants from chocolate and negate its effects.
