I'm sure you'd like a more scientific basis for your chocolate eating. So ask your doctor to analyze this book and tell you what foods you should be eating for your brain.
Cocoa, Blood Flow and the Brain
Summary
This chapter
explores the relationship between cocoa consumption, specifically
flavan-3-ols, and brain activity as assessed by human intervention
studies. Wherever possible, studies included will be conducted according
to randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind procedures. Evidence
from animal studies and human cardiovascular studies are also included,
where appropriate, to provide potential mechanisms relevant to
cognition. As the effects of caffeine and theobromine have also been the
focus of research with regards the effects of cocoa on cognition,
relevant studies of these compounds are also included. Support for
intervention studies showing effects of cocoa relevant to blood flow and
the brain comes from recent epidemiological research.
