The reasoning is that chocolate doesn't necessarily automatically make people smarter (although it can improve cognitive function) but smart people (at least in Switzerland) tend to eat chocolate because they realize the benefits.
Dark chocolate (at least 70 percent cocao) is recommended.
How much? The average person should consume at least the equivalent of nine full Herschey Bars per year.
News you can use with Halloween approaching.
