I still do take the cocoa. I recently found out that cocoa is a highly pesticided substance. I have been buying organic cocoa powder, but I cannot consume as much of it as the regular cocoa.
I honestly do think it helps. I don't know what aspect of it. I know that it contains substances with strong antioxidant capacity. I generally feel calmer after consuming it.
Although the anandimide content of cocoa is not extremly high, it does contain compounds that inhibit the reuptake of anandimide.
I have been looking for other substances which contain these anandimide reuptake inhibitors.
I think that anandimide reuptake inihbition is a potentially powerful way to combat certain aspects of mental illness. There is a endocannabanoid deficiancy theory of affective disorders.
