New research has found that a chemical in dark chocolate has anti-aging properties. The team analyzed blood levels of the plant compound theobromine in relation to biological age markers.
Examining participant data from the TwinsUK and KORA studies, King’s College London, UK, researchers correlated higher theobromine levels to a younger biological age in two European cohorts of over 1,600 people.
