If there was this much improvement with two cups of cocoa for a month - just think the effect of drinking hot cocoa or eating chocolate regularly for years...
PS. This article is from Forbes magazine, so I think it deserves to be posted in News.

Does anyone remember Woody Allen’s “Sleeper?” Wasn’t the line something like “Here, have some chocolate and tobacco...”

Yesterday, I was in coffee aisle of grocery and past coffee saw canister of Swiss Miss hot chocolate mix without sugar, and I bought it. I’ll have a cup of that now.

The thing that jumps out at me is the cocoa butter.
Cocoa butter contains a high proportion of saturated fats, derived from stearic and palmitic acids.
Stearic acid occurs in many animal and vegetable fats and oils, but it is more abundant in animal fat (up to 30%) than vegetable fat (typically <5%). The important exceptions are cocoa butter and shea butter where the stearic acid content (as a triglyceride) is 28–45%.

Beans are vegetables.
Cocoa comes from beans.
Chocolate is a vegetable!

I use Mayan organic cocoa - and make my hot cocoa with organic whole milk - with a dash of cayenne pepper (the ancient Mayans uses red pepper in their chocolate drink) and a dash of pure vanilla -
However, I suspect the Mayans (royalty only were allowed chocolate) didn't use any milk - or Llama milk?
