Milk Chocolate boosts IQ!

Sureprisingly, it's milk chcolate not dark chocolate. Well dark chocolate is good for diabetes and blood pressure. A Wheeling Jesuit University professor reports that eating milk chocolate can improve your brain activity. Fifteen minutes after consuming various types of chocolate (and none at all). various intelligence tests were performed.

Composite scores for verbal and visual memory were significantly higher for milk chocolate than the other conditions," says Dr. Raudenbush, associate professor of psychology and director of undergraduate research at the University. “Consumption of milk or dark chocolate showed improved impulse control and reaction time. These findings provide support for nutrient release via chocolate consumption to enhance cognitive performance.”

So there you have it. Milk Chocolate makes you smarter, for a while anyway. Mind you I found out the hard way that eating chocolate can also make you fat!
