Researchers Explore Cocoa as Novel Dietary Source for Prevention of Cognitive Deterioration in Alzheimer's Disease
Giulio Pasinetti, MD, professor of neurology at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, is leading author of a recent paper entitled "Recommendations for development of new standardized forms of cocoa breeds and cocoa extract processing for the prevention of Alzheimer's disease," to be published in the Journal of Alzheimer's Disease. This research suggests that "there is strong scientific evidence supporting the growing interest in developing cocoa extract as a natural source to maintain and promote brain health, and in particular to prevent age-related neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer's disease, which is the most common form of age-related dementia affecting an estimated 44 million people worldwide."
