During the study, participants were divided into two groups. The first group was offered a cocoa drink containing flavonoids (a substance found in cocoa beans), the other – a placebo.
After that, volunteers were asked to take several cognitive tests of varying difficulty. In the end, the group of people who drank cocoa showed 11% better results than the group with placebo.
So scientists have suggested that it is flavonoids that increase the amount of oxygen in the human body. And this has a positive effect on brain function.
Only real cocoa drinks, which are made from natural raw materials and contain flavonoids, improve cognitive abilities. And processed several times mixtures of cocoa, sugar and milk powder, probably contain much less essential substances.
