As the pandemic grinds on and the holidays loom, many people may be wishing they could get their brains working better. Fortunately, a new, double-blind study finds having a nice, hot cup of cocoa is not only good for the soul--it's also good for the brain. UPI reports British and American researchers say flavanol-rich cocoa drinks can improve brain oxygenation and cognitive performance in healthy adults. Flavanols are small molecules found in many fruits and vegetables, and cocoa, too. The researchers wanted to discover whether flavanols also benefit the brain vasculature, and if that could positively impact cognitive function, The high flavanol cocoa intake led to faster and greater brain oxygenation in 14 of 18 male adults, ages 18-45, along with better performance on complex tests.
The cocoa market hit record highs in mid-November, and it's all down to one company's novel method of sourcing cocoa beans. Markets Insider reports the chocolate manufacturer bought cocoa beans through the ICE Futures exchange instead of from physical suppliers. The trade allows Hershey to obtain cocoa at lower prices, as chocolate producers typically buy from vendors who charge various premiums. The trade was so big it lifted December-delivery contracts as much as 13.4% from November 13 to November 16. A Hershey spokesperson says the company continues its 'substantial cocoa sustainability works' to combat poverty and deforestation. The spokesperson added Hershey continues to pay the Living Income Differential and invest in training for farmers to diversify their crops.
