"Chocolate is made from cocoa beans the dried and partially fermented seeds of the cacao tree (Theobroma cacao)."

Did you know that cocoa may be the great brain food---see Daisy Yuhas, 2013, Is Cocoa the Brain Drug of the Future?---it makes mice smarter---and see Gary Stix, 2014, Cocoa Constitutents Fend Off Senior Moment's---the Memory of a 30-Year-Old?---it rejuvenates the human brain---but only the brain---but the good stuff is maybe only from cocoa in unprocessed form---just when you thought it was safe to scarf.
