And now the authorities have given us another reason to absorb these things! Good news for chocolate lovers! A study shows that consumption of dark chocolate may protect our brains from age-related stress and swelling. Oxidative stress and inflammation increase with age. Both are the origin of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease.
