Almost a decade after the
University opened its doors for
blacks, the Georgia football
team integrated between the

Dark chocolate may
boost brain function
By PEARMAN PARKER

Students may have
heard that eating chocolate
satisfies a sweet tooth,
helps soothe the pain of a
breakup and can serve as an
aphrodisiac for that future
love interest.
But what they may not
know is that eating dark
chocolate may actually
improve brain function.
A recent study by Mars
Inc. revealed that certain
types of cocoa in dark
chocolate may boost cogni
tive ability.
“These studies provide
evidence that chocolate
may indeed be a health
food," said Robert Shewfelt,
a professor of the food sci
ence and technology
department.
Dark chocolate has more
beneficial compounds than
other chocolate products,
he said.
The cocoa powder in the
chocolate has many of these
compounds, he said. Any
product with 45 percent or
more cocoa is more likely to
be beneficial than those
that do not list the content,
