Sir Hans Sloane
The medicinal use of chocolate?
Sorond et al. (2013 Neurology) gave elderly subjects with normal cognitive function drinking chocolate or a substitute (double blind) and tested cognitive function and neurovascular coupling at three time points.
The control subjects showed no significant changes in either measure.

Sir Hans Sloane
Time taken to complete cognitive test. The decline in time indicates improved cognitive function after 30 days of drinking chocolate in those subjects starting with poor neurovascular coupling.
Also improved NVC in impaired group.
