Eating dark chocolate daily may help reduce symptoms of chronic fatigue syndrome by improving serotonin levels in the brain, according to a recent study. Professor Steve Atkin of Hull York Medical School said he got the idea for the study when one of his patients reported feeling better after replacing her milk chocolate for dark chocolate with a high cocoa content. He decided to study this effect by having 10 people consume 45g of dark chocolate or white chocolate dyed to look like dark chocolate.
