Consuming dark chocolates can turn back the clock on aging.

TOP INSIGHT
Epicatechin, a flavanol found in dark chocolate, reduces oxidative stress and neuroinflammation.
Just two weeks of treatment with epicatechin not only suppressed levels of oxidative stress and neuroinflammation that would normally be increased in this mouse model, but also improved memory and anxiety levels in the mice.
The researchers say their results may help explain the beneficial effects on memory seen in people who consume dark chocolate.
Israel Ramirez-Sanchez will present this research at the American Society for Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics Annual Meeting.
