Inside Truths

🍫 Not all dark chocolate is the same.

A randomized controlled trial found that healthy adults who ate 30 g of 85% dark chocolate daily for 3 weeks experienced a greater reduction in negative mood compared with those who ate 70% dark chocolate.

Researchers also found that the 85% dark chocolate group had greater gut microbiome diversity, suggesting that its higher cocoa content may help support the gut-brain connection.

The findings suggest that 85% dark chocolate may act like a prebiotic, helping nourish beneficial gut bacteria that could play a role in emotional well-being.

While more research is needed, this study highlights how what you eat may influence both your gut and your mood.
