I just finished reading a new research study about how cocoa flavanold improves blood flow to the brain. My mother suffers from Alzheimer's disease and it seems to me that this is something worth trying. In fact, it sounds like it could be good for both of us.

In a scientific study of healthy, older adults ages 59 to 83, Harvard medical scientists found that study participants who regularly drank a cocoa flavanol-rich beverage made using the Mars, Incorporated Cocoapro® process had an eight percent increase in brain blood flow after one week, and 10 percent increase after two weeks.

You can read more about this on my blog, the Alzheimer's Reading Room .

I intend to find out more about how to purchase the flavanols. I'll follow up with some additional posts on my blog.
