Don’t forget to put chocolate on your grocery list!!!

Scientists from the Salk Institute have discover that the chemical epicatechin help to boost the memory of mice. This chemical is found in grapes, blueberries, tea and of course chocolate. Its also seems to boost the blood flow in certain parts of the brain.

Now the real question is: how do you test the memory of a mouse ? Obviously you cant ask it : “Do you remember last week when we share a piece of blue cheese …”. I guess that you can make them go into a maze, repeat the operation until the mouse know exactly the way, calculate the amount of time needed to the mouse to forget the way through the maze, fat her up with chocolate and wait the same amount of time to see if this time she will remember (yeah my imaginary mouse is a female).

I guess my point is that checking a product cure cancer is more maybe a bit more straightforward to accurately test whether or not chocolate is good for you.
