Question: is chocolate good for the brain?

Sandra Greive answered on 8 Mar 2017:

Apparently it is. There have been studies showing that it improves memory and thinking. Other studies showed clear changes in brain activity (but were unable to link this to improved function). Chocolate can also improve your mood, although the studies couldn’t tell if this because it tasted/smelled good or because it directly causes signaling changes in the brain that effect mood.
