Deans' stroke musings: New study sheds light on a beneficial compound found in coffee and chocolate

Changing stroke rehab and research worldwide now.Time is Brain! trillions and trillions of neurons that DIE each day because there are NO effective hyperacute therapies besides tPA(only 12% effective). I have 523 posts on hyperacute therapy, enough for researchers to spend decades proving them out. These are my personal ideas and blog on stroke rehabilitation and stroke research. Do not attempt any of these without checking with your medical provider. Unless you join me in agitating, when you need these therapies they won't be there.

What this blog is for:

My blog is not to help survivors recover, it is to have the 10 million yearly stroke survivors light fires underneath their doctors, stroke hospitals and stroke researchers to get stroke solved. 100% recovery. The stroke medical world is completely failing at that goal, they don't even have it as a goal. Shortly after getting out of the hospital and getting NO information on the process or protocols of stroke rehabilitation and recovery I started searching on the internet and found that no other survivor received useful information. This is an attempt to cover all stroke rehabilitation information that should be readily available to survivors so they can talk with informed knowledge to their medical staff. It lays out what needs to be done to get stroke survivors closer to 100% recovery. It's quite disgusting that this information is not available from every stroke association and doctors group.

New study sheds light on a beneficial compound found in coffee and chocolate

Ask your fuckingly incompetent? doctor and hospital to do the research that answers EXACTLY HOW MUCH TO CONSUME! Oh, they are SO INCOMPETENT they can't even manage that simple task?

New study sheds light on a beneficial compound found in coffee and chocolate

Theobromine, an alkaloid found in dark chocolate and coffee, is associated with slower cellular aging, a study suggests. December 26, 2025 By Christa Sgobba If you enjoy dark chocolate or coffee, or both, you may be benefiting from a substance found in these products that is linked to a reduction in cellular aging. A study published this month in the journal Aging found that people with higher blood levels of an alkaloid called theobromine seemed to have slower cellular aging as measured by “epigenetic clocks,” models that estimate aging based on molecular biomarkers. Most abundant in cocoa, theobromine is also found in smaller amounts in coffee and tea. But before you start eating more dark chocolate and drinking more cups of coffee, know that the study found an association, not a causal link, and that it didn’t suggest how much you would have to eat or drink to potentially derive an aging-related benefit.
