With all of the dark chocolate, red wine, and berries I've eaten, I should be a damn genius!

who says you aren’t?

I had a Big Kat Kit Kat on Halloween. Does that count?

Never ,ever turn down a bite of chocolate.Extremely memory enhancing.

[Telepathic Intruder]

I should get some on my next trip to the store, if I don’t forget.

Been there, tried it. I wound up drunk, fat with seeds in my teeth. Now I know what to do for my next certification exam.

I make a desert: 3 over ripe bananas, tablespoon of dark chocolate powder (80% cocoa), tablespoon of honey. Immersion blend until creamy, spoon into bowl lined with Saran wrap. Freezer. 2 servings Eat like a chocolate bar.

Best frozen desert ever.

In additiom to flavonoids, one ounce pf Bakers cocoa contains (as I recall from my research of literature about 35 years ago) 1000 mg of phenylethanolamine, a substance that is a natural antidepressant.

'Some day when you feel quite sad, eat some dark chocolate, maybe a whole bar. Don't think about it, but set an alarm to check how you feel a couple of hours later, and expect to have a somewhat better outlook on life.

Great thread. There’s always hope. Delicious hope.

[Savage Beast]

I think I’ll eat a crate load.

Maybe you are, Dan. After all, you're posting on Free Republic and not on one of the nutcase woke websites. That says a lot!

I usually have a chunk of 90% chocolate after lunch - I never noticed being smarter - but maybe that’s because of the post-prandial naps...🤓

[AppyPappy]

I know I get smarter when I drink wine

[Georgia Girl 2]

Do Sweet Tarts count? 😉

[Opinionated Blowhard]

LOL. Me too. I’m living proof that dark chocolate will not stop your slide into senility and forgetfulness.

[HereInTheHeartland]

If it’s not dark chocolate just eat twice as much

This stuff (750mg flavanols) works really well to give you a sustained memory/focus effect. After having problems with ADHD-like symptoms (struggling to finish a task or stay on focus) with just caffeine, I added this and it fixed it. Coffee or matcha provide the caffeine and the flavanols focus it like a lens. Amazing stuff.

I know this is true... Finally - justification.

[MayflowerMadam]

In school when I was little, a lot of teachers would pass out mini chocolate bars before tests.

[doorgunner69]

Never been a chocolate or red wine fan, but have a good memory. My wife hates how I remember stuff.
She would be interested in something that dulls it.
