Was this earlier research not good enough to write up protocols? Do they even know about this earlier research? Still no protocols so you have idea of kinds, amounts or frequency. Hire your own researchers, no one else is going to do a damn thing.

Chocolate consumption and risk of stroke among men and women: A large population-based, prospective cohort study
Atherosclerosis, 03/06/2017
Dong
JY, et al. – Here, the clinicians intend to inquire the prospective
correlations between chocolate consumption and risk of stroke among men
and women in a large population–based cohort. The outcomes illustrated a
significant inverse correlation between chocolate consumption and risk
of developing stroke in women. Nevertheless, residual confounding could
not be excluded as an alternative explanation for the findings.
Methods
- A total of 38,182 men and 46,415 women aged 44–76 years, and free of cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and cancer at baseline in 1995 and 1998, were followed up until the end of 2009 and 2010, respectively.
- They observed data on chocolate consumption for each participant using a self-administrated food frequency questionnaire that included 138 food and beverage items.
- They applied cox proportional hazards regression models to evaluate hazard ratios (HRs) of stroke in relation to chocolate consumption.
Results
- They distinguished 3558 incident strokes cases (2146 cerebral infarctions and 1396 hemorrhagic strokes) during a median follow-up of 12.9 years,.
- They demonstrated that after adjustment for age, body mass index, life styles, dietary intakes, and other risk factors, chocolate consumption was correlated with a significant lower risk of stroke in women (HR = 0.84; 95% CI, 0.71–0.99).
- Nevertheless, it was considered that the correlation in men was not significant (HR = 0.94; 95% CI, 0.80–1.10).
- Lastly, the correlation did not vary by stroke subtypes in either men or women.
