The use of cocoa may also contribute an independent beneficial effect. Cocoa powder contains flavonols that improve cognitive function, blood sugar and lipid profile. Your homemade hot cocoa may be giving a boost. For best effect the cocoa powder used should be the natural unprocessed kind (so not alkanized/dutched) and mixing with sugar and milk should be reduced or avoided since milk might neutralize its effects.

Sugar? There is nothing sweet that is beneficial for anything. For good health, sugar should not exist even in the smallest amount in any diet. It is poison and immediately addictive not to mention that EATING ANY KIND OF SUGAR HAS THE POTENTIAL TO REDUCE YOUR BODY'S DEFENSES BY 75% OR MORE FOR FOUR TO SIX HOURS. Ask Dr. Pauling.

I wouldn't be so quick to condemn sugar. My aunt has used it in her coffee for 60 years & in her mid 80's she is sharp as can be. I would be more concerned about chemicals, drugs & shots than I would be about sugar. My dad was also a big sweet eater and he was very sharp up until he died. My mother-in-law has alzheimers & she lived on that crappy coffee creamer full of artificial ingredients; she also had some work on her teeth a year before losing her memory; same thing happened to Peter Falk (Columbo) the poisons travel to your brain. She also rarely ate protein & just ate processed food (more artificial food) Just food for thought...........

I found B12 lozenges for my dad. Each lozenge is 5,000 mcg. What would you consider to be a “megadose?”
