Oct. 10, 2012 — Eat chocolate, win a Nobel Prize?<\/p>\n

It may sound far-fetched, but a new study suggests it might not be bad advice.<\/p>\n

The results show countries that eat the most chocolate also have the highest number of Nobel laureates per capita.<\/p>\n

Cocoa and chocolate are rich in a subgroup of flavonoids known as flavanols. These antioxidants are also found in green tea and red wine.<\/p>\n

Recent studies have suggested that flavanols seem to slow down and even reverse the decline in thinking ability that comes with age.<\/p>\n

Some research has also shown that flavonoids can improve blood<\/a> flow to the brain<\/a>, which may help it perform better.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
