Maybe, but not useful to the memory loss in dementia.
So....then....must be why somedays I’m lucid, ‘cause I eat those chocolate cookies Mrs. RQSR makes.
Not to self to eat more of Mrs. RQSR’s cookies.
Special drink made up by Mars which payed for the study.
It does sound interesting.
IPA’s have to be good for you also, don’t they?
Perfect study aids - Chocolate milk and classical music.
This must be why I’ve been so smart lately. I ate a whole bag of chocolates a few days ago. Ate so much I got sleepy and needed a nap.
How many times has the MSM run stories of this type, and then that’s the last we ever hear of it again, or (maybe worse) it’s all shown to be BS a few months or years down the road.
I think the MSM is virtually 100% agenda nonsense.
All they want are eyeballs, and they don’t care how dumb the brains are behind the eyeballs.
Just in time for candy season.
Heard about dark chocolate ages ago. Has to be at least 6 years because I was taking classes then. Haven’t had chocolate in a while so my memory is foggy. Best thing that ever helped me right before a test was getting lost on the way to the proctoring center, walking out of my way because of construction on campus and getting pissed as hell. Math test, too. Couldn’t do it now.
Thank you for posting this; I needed the reminder.
I set out a chocolate bar that I was going to eat today (actually, it’s been sitting around since Christmas, and I just noticed this morning and put it where I couldn’t miss it, so I’d eat it today). And I still forgot. At least I know what went wrong: age-related memory loss brought on by not eating that chocolate last December.
Who says newspapers never publish good news!
My short term memory is better when I exercise regularly. Obviously the greater blood flow during exercise helps a lot of organs in the body, including heart, brain, kidneys, muscles and lungs.
My hip pain disappeared after taking up golf. I thought I was going to need hip replacement. Ditto with back pain.
My theory is when muscles get weak, more load is borne by bone joints. That wears out the lubricating cartilage.
what was that article about again?...../s
Great news.....Im off to buy some cocoa
another excuse!
I hear the weekly chocolate ration has been increased from 30 to 20 grams!
Obola akbar!
Trying to do better with my eating habits Came across adding 1 tablespoon butter (grass fed) to my coffee with 2 tablespoons of coconut oil (the good kind). Decided to add chocolate to it and read that the cacao needs to be 70% or higher. Well there went the dove chocolate. Look at the labels. . .if it has more in it than chocolate . . .then forget it. I struck oil in one grocery store that had Lindt chocolates on sale for $.85 for a large bar. I went into a frenzy when I saw 90% cacao and 95% cacao. I bought all of them. The check out gal thought I was crazy. Dark chocolate is rare in the stores in my neck of the woods. Usually the higher cacao is left on the shelf unless there are organic health food types shopping there. OK. . .so now into the concoction goes the chocolate. . .4 squares. My next addition is Coco Monkey to tone down the bitterness of the chocolate. Is this TMI for you? Thought I would share. Oh! You must put it in a blender. Watch out and don’t blend it too long or the heat will build inside the blender and you could have a mess on your hands. I find that the butter has made the difference from when I originally made the coffee. . . .it can sit around and get cold without separation.. . . . .
Of course, you only have to eat 22 average size chocolate bars per day to get the dose needed for the memory-enhancing effect.
That’s a small price to pay!
Apparently, I haven’t been eating enough chocolate.

“And while researchers also had half of the healthy but sedentary participants in each group exercise four days a week, surprisingly, the exercise had no effects on memory or brain effects.”
“To consume the high-flavanol group’s daily dose of epicatechin, 138 milligrams, would take eating at least 300 grams of dark chocolate a day...”
