The actual part of the cocoa bean that did the most was the flavanol, which was directly correlated to the increase in cognitive abilities. The improvement in cognitive functions was surprising according to researchers, and that is absolutely great news for millions of people. Cognitive abilities and skills are some of the most commonly lost abilities among senior citizens which is precisely why this news is so absolutely awesome.

Either way it is absolutely amazing news that such an impressive piece of research has come out that is going to drastically improve the lives of millions of older people worldwide.
