Consuming bourbon can help you age better. I’m personally conducting an important study on this topic tonight.

Most of the commercial cocoa on the supermarket shelves are mostly sugar with some chocolate flavoring added.

It helps one slim down...

It’s a big part of the “Model Diet”.
Marlboro Lights, Tab or Fresca, and cocaine.

Most of us don't need any help aging.

“Cocoa supplement,” yeah, that’s my euphemism for a hot fudge sundae.

Here's an earlier article from a couple months ago on Flavanols posted by ConservativeMind...
Cocoa flavanols contribute to faster oxygen uptake kinetics, improved blood flow
...and the original Medical Express link.

I bought a three month supply of CocoaVia after reading that August article but haven't noticed any changes.

When we grew up on the ranch 100% baking Cocoa was all we had around as candy. Once we got used to it 100% is all we have ever liked since.

Food and beverage items like grapes and red wine, tomatoes, onions, berries and peaches also are considered good sources of flavanols.

Now that's a first -- that's a list of many of my favorite foods. Usually the stuff that is supposed to be good for you is YUCK!

Peach season just ended here in the Inland Northwest. We have the best peaches in the world in August!

"inflammaging"

Now that's a new one on me. Turns out it's a whole field of study.

Inflammaging markers characteristic of advanced age show similar levels with frailty and dependency, Feb 23, 2021, Scientific Reports.

Top 5 Blood Tests For Inflammation. Has a good explanation of inflammation and its effects on the organs and body.

Of course they do! You need to ask? You just have to eat six boxes every single day.

The cocoa is chocolate without sugar, Hershey sells it, it is bitter therefore I sweeten it a little
