This was in our monthly safety newsletter at work. I just thought I'd share....
CHOCOLATE MAKES YOU SAFER?
Dr. Bryan Raudenbush is a popular scientist
these days. The Wheeling (West Virginia)
Jesuit University researcher found that
eating chocolate might boost brain function.
During Raudenbush’s study, one group of
volunteers consumed 85 grams of milk
chocolate, dark chocolate, and carob. A
control group got nothing.
Following a 15-minute digestive period, the
volunteers were given a number of tests
that assessed memory, attention span,
reaction time, and problem-solving ability.
Results of the study show that consuming
chocolate, particularly milk chocolate, improves
reaction time, impulse control, and
memory. All those things can help you work
safer.
