********CRITIQUES, RULES, AND NOTES********

Be aware of the following rules before posting comments:
- Please do not post summaries of the video in the comments - it damages retention on the video and YouTube is less likely to promote it (these videos cost me a lot of money to produce).

Critiques of my work are welcome! Please be aware of the following notes & rules before submitting critique:

Be mindful that this content is not all encompassing on the subject at hand and is self-limited for brevity to reach a wider audience. Also, be aware that I receive hundreds of YouTube comments per day, so the only way your critique can be considered is if you follow the steps outlined below. Finally, YouTube auto-deletes links, so I do not see most comments with links attached.

RULES:
If your comment is rude, you will be banned.
If your comment is not about the studies/topics at hand (i.e. extending to other outcomes not discussed) or offers critique with no scientific basis, it is unlikely to receive a response.

If you can follow these rules, I will try to address your critique and if there is merit, I will add an AMENDMENT to the content in question and pin it so everyone can see it (thank you!).

Beyond muscle function, studies show natural cocoa powder can also cause modest reductions in blood triglycerides, blood sugar, and LDL cholesterol.

Consider participant differences to interpret cocoa study results

Conflicting study results on cocoa's benefits may be explained by major differences in the participants, such as having type 2 diabetes versus peripheral artery disease.

Evaluate cocoa's mixed impact on mitochondrial function

Contrary to strong claims, studies show mixed results on whether cocoa improves mitochondrial function, with some markers improving while others show no effect.
