Cocoa consumption appeared to lower blood pressure overall, as well as bad cholesterol and blood sugar. However, it did not seem to affect body weight or a primary biomarker of diabetes.
Researchers are working to develop a unique anticoagulant (blood thinner) that would bring a lower risk of bleeding than the options currently on the market.

[1] Some occur naturally in blood-eating animals, such as leeches and mosquitoes, which help keep the bite area unclotted long enough for the animal to obtain blood.
Bebtelovimab is a neutralizing human immunoglobulin G1 (IgG1) monoclonal antibody, isolated from a patient who has recovered from the Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), directed against the spike (S) protein of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2), that can potentially be used for immunization against COVID-19.
