Researchers at Johns Hopkins have discovered that a compound in dark chocolate may protect the brain after a stroke by increasing cellular signals already known to shield nerve cells from damage. They found that mice given the compound suffered significantly less brain damage after induced stroke – even when given to them hours afterward.
OMG! Is there nothing dark chocolate can’t do?!
It seems the more research is done on the miracle drug, dark chocolate, the more amazing things they find it will do for you.
I’d write more about it now, but I gotta get down to the See’s Candy Store. I gotta replace my emergency supplies. You never know when I might have a stroke and need it! And, of course, it’s only reasonable that I test for quality before I have to use it for real – don’t want the EMTs stuffing BAD chocolate down my throat at the moment I need the good stuff!
Be right back…
And what was that about my weight-loss regime? Hey! You know what they say? A pound of prevention……..
