Is chocolate good for your brain?

I always heard from family members say that chocolate is good for your brain, they probably heard it from other family members or doctors, but I always thought to myself how can CHOCOLATE be good for your brain? (Like it didn’t make sense to me). Does it boosts your memory? Does it make you think sharper? Does it make some peoples cloudy brain clear? These are the questions I plan on getting answers to.

2 Sources I plan on using –

There is an antioxidant in chocolate that helps improve memory that people lose as they get older. They performed a study on people who had better memory in the past 3 months on people who had those chocolate antioxidants and people who didn’t, and the result was people who had those chocolate antioxidants performed better.
