For all you choc-o-holics out there, a new study has found that a compound found in cocoa, just might be able to reverse memory loss. Now this doesn’t mean you can run down to your local grocery stores, buy pounds of the stuff, and start eating yourself into stupor.

The compound we are speaking off, can also be found in tea and some vegetables. I know that veggies are not as **** as chocolate, but they are healthier. The compound found in cocoa increases connectivity and blood flow, and helps improve age-related memory loss.

Now here’s the part some people are not going to like. Technically, eating chocolate alone could help improve memory loss, but you won’t like the weighty figure starring back at you in the mirror after a few months. Diet and a healthy lifestyle with also improve age-related cognitive decline.

The study was small and more research needs to be completed, but the outlook is promising for everyone. More work is need and “Mars” is willing to foot the bill. So be proud my chocolate addicted friends, you might just be the smartest people in the room -- when you get past the age of sixty. Do you think chocolate can reduce memory loss?

But only if they take one of the compounds from it and you can take huge doses of it. You couldn't eat enough in chocolate form to do so. You'd just get very fat. The test were with huge doses of the compound to be effective. So hopefully they will make a pill we can take along with our chocolate.

The study has some merit.. It apparently does not increase the ability to expand ones memory, if there was very little memory retention in the first place. Therefore, if it works, it can only bring it back to some level that existed prior to the dementia.

I would have prefered a 'Maybe' option. Like they said, results are promising, so sure, maybe someday they can isolate the compound into a pill form. That'd be great. Until then, maybe a small square of dark chocolate a day could help? I think chocolate is amazing in of itself. :)

A new study ALWAYS finds stuff. Guess what though? 5 newer studies will disprove it. Correlation doesn't imply causation.

I was out with my girlfriend at the ice cream parlor.
I had a chocolate ice cream.
As I was eating it, someone recognized me.

Then I remembered that I have a wife.

thats not up to opinion, its somewthing of the realm of science and even if 100% vote against science is the only thing that can give an answer. it makes no sence to even ask this question.

Perhaps it does. It would be a tasty way to combat the problem. Other than how fat you could get eating it, sounds great.

Chocolate in moderation along with a good diet and exercise and turmeric( 1/2 teaspoon daily) might work wonders, it has helped me.

This is true of DARK chocolate, not milk chocolate or white chocolate.
A study I read about some years ago determined that the combination of dark chocolate and caffeine were quite beneficial to brain activity. The best such combinations were dark chocolate with 1)green tea, 2)coffee, or 3)black tea; each with no additives (sugar, cream, etc.)
