The acute effects of cocoa flavanols on cognitive control and response inhibition: A randomised crossover trial

" In this pre-registered study, we investigated the effects of acute cocoa flavanol (CF) consumption on cognitive control and response inhibition processes, at two different dosage levels. This study was randomised, placebo-controlled, gender-balanced, double-blind, and utilised a crossover design. Participants consumed three different drinks across three separate sessions: A placebo drink with alkalised cocoa powder, a low dosage (415 mg), and a medium dosage (623 mg) of cocoa flavanols from flavanol-rich cocoa powder."

Their  results  were published in  Nature Human Behaviour ." https://phys.org/news/2023-10-cranial-traumas-cities-built-violence.html
