                                A study conducted at the University of California, San Francisco, found that participants who drank a high-flavanol cocoa beverage daily for one month nearly doubled their number of circulating stem cells. This remarkable finding has led many to question whether eating dark chocolate can increase stem cells and aid the body's natural repair mechanisms.
