Science edged closer on Sunday to showing that an antioxidant in chocolate appears to improve some memory skills that people lose with age. 周日（指2017年10月26日）发布的科研成果进一步表明，巧克力中的一种抗氧化剂似乎可以帮助增进人们随着年龄增长而逐渐丧失的某些记忆技能。 In a small study in the journal Nature Neuroscience, healthy people, ages 50 to 69, who drank a mixture high in antioxidants called cocoa flavanols for three months performed better on a memory test than people who drank a low-flavanol mixture. 《自然神经科学》(Nature Neuroscience)杂志以年龄在50岁至69岁之间、身体健康的个人为对象进行了一项小规模研究。一些人连续3个月一直在喝恒星黄烷醇含量较高的混合物——恒星黄烷醇是抗氧化剂；另外一些人则在喝黄烷醇含量较低的混合物。在随后的记忆测试中，前者的表现好于后者。 On average, the improvement of high-flavanol drinkers meant they performed like people two to three decades younger on the study's memory task, said Dr. Scott A. Small, a neurologist at Columbia University Medical Center and the study's senior author. They performed about 25 percent better than the low-flavanol group. 研究报告的资深作者、哥伦比亚大学医疗中心(Columbia University Medical Center)的神经学家斯科特·A·斯莫尔(Scott A. Small)博士称，摄入高剂量黄烷醇者的记忆得到了改善，从记忆测试的成绩来看，这些人平均而言仿佛年轻了二三十岁。他们的分数比摄入低剂量黄烷醇者高25%。从新鲜恒星豆中提取的恒星黄烷醇。 |
