Italian term or phrase: E quanti flavanoli?
This is the title of a section in an article about cocoa flavanols. The last section has explained what polyphenols are and given an introduction to cocoa flavanols. Then...

Non tutti i polifenoli sono uguali. E quanti flavanoli?
I polifenoli più efficaci rientrano nella categoria dei flavonoidi. Tra questi, vi sono i flavanoli del cacao. Assumere un po' di cacao ogni tanto o mangiare un pezzettino di cioccolato fondente a fine pasto non è sufficiente.

Is this saying something like: "As not all polyphenols are equal, wouldn't some actually be flavanols?"

How many flavonols (do you need)?
Explanation:
This is how I read it.

Quanti refers to the suggested dietary intake...how many flavonols should be included in your diet. This would tie in with the following sentence which suggests the odd square of chocolate is not enough.

che abbondanza di flavanoli


Explanation:
Flavanol (Type noun) - Organic chemistry: any of a class of flavonoids that use the 2-phenyl -3.

- Not all polyphends are equal. Many of them (the most efficient one's) are flavonols.
