That’s the claim by Lycotec, a UK-based company with research ties to Cambridge University.

They’ve created “Esthechoc,” a 70 percent dark chocolate that touts some serious anti-aging claims. Researchers say the treat is so potent, just one 7.5-gram piece of the chocolate packs the same anti-oxidant punch as 100 grams of regular dark chocolate or even 300 grams of Alaskan salmon.

Creators say that, in a clinical trial of 50- to 60-years-olds, eating a piece of Esthechoc a day over three to four weeks boosted blood supply to the skin as well as reduced inflammation. “In terms of skin biomarkers we found it had brought skin back to the levels of a 20 or 30-year-old. So we’ve improved the skin’s physiology. People using it claimed that their skin was better and we can see that the product is working to slow down aging,” Lycotec’s Ivan Petyaev told The Telegraph.

    Maybe they could wrap it around ice cream?

      I thought of that too, but doubted you could call chocolate covered bacon healthy. Though there is a contingent that insists it’s delicious.
