The study, led by researchers at Columbia and Brigham and Women’s Hospital/Harvard, showed that replenishing these bioactive dietary components in flavanol-deficient adults over age 60 showed an improvement in memory loss. “The improvement among study participants with low-flavanol diets was substantial and raises the possibility of using flavanol-rich diets or supplements to improve cognitive function in older adults,” said Adam Brickman, Professor of neuropsychology at Columbia University Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons.
