flag Higher theobromine levels linked to slower cellular aging in over 1,600 adults, but study can't prove cause or safe intake.

flag A study in Aging links higher blood levels of theobromine—found in dark chocolate and coffee—to slower cellular aging in over 1,600 adults, based on epigenetic markers. flag The research, observational and not proving causation, found the association remained after adjusting for caffeine and other compounds. flag However, it relied on a single blood sample, did not track diet, and cannot confirm how much chocolate or coffee may be beneficial. flag Experts caution against overconsumption due to sugar, fat, and potential heavy metals, recommending dark chocolate with at least 70% cocoa and minimal processing.
