Cocoa Enriched Diets May Be Beneficial In Treatment Of Migraine

No headaches here!

"For several years, researchers have been interested in the value of Theobroma cacao in treating a variety of disorders. A new study presented at the International Headache Society's 14th International Headache Congress hosted by the American Headache Society (AHS) in Philadelphia, has provided the first evidence for the value of cocoa as a dietary supplement in repressing inflammatory responses within the trigeminal ganglia which are thought to play a role in migraine.

'It appears that a cocoa-enriched diet in rats can repress the proteins that are associated with the promotion and maintenance of inflammatory responses such as migraine,' said Paul L. Durham, PhD of Missouri State University's Center for Biomedical & Life Sciences, an author of the study."

Now to see if it works in pig-people.
