Raising My Chocolate IQ
I have always been a fan of science, even though the relationship has been very one-sided up to this point. It's not like science has handed me much good news. Apparently I have to exercise every day or my body will atrophy, lift weights or my bones will dissolve and eat low fat, high fiber foods or I will gain weight and get, you know, irregular – and nobody wants that. Smoking will kill me, too much food or alcohol will kill me and even if I try very hard to take good care of myself, living a long time will still ultimately kill me. Where is the love, science?
Well today something happened to make me forgive you. A new scientific study just came out that hints that eating chocolate may boost your brainpower. To quote the study, "Chocolate contains many substances that act as stimulants, such as theobromine, phenethylamine, and caffeine," Dr. Bryan Raudenbush from Wheeling Jesuit University in West Virginia noted in comments to Reuters Health.
