I really enjoy the way you share medical information with your audience. And once again, I cracked up several times during your presentation; really enjoy your humor. 😂 Keep up the great work and stay safe. Best wishes from Chicago.

I can testify that the "special" chocolate i eat doesn't really help by memory. But does wonderful things for my mood epilepsy.

From now on I will require all surgeons to be on a multivitamin for at least 6 months prior to performing any surgery on me. I will still bribe the nurses with chocolate!

I very much enjoy your enlightening videos and love that you both have such a great sense of humor!

102 yr old mom has a square of 90% dark chocolate most days. Phenomenal memory. Does not take a multivitamin, but has been on a healthy mostly plant-based diet for a couple of decades now.

I really enjoy watching your informative videos. Sprinkling a dash of humor makes the teaching moments even tastier. Question/suggestion: Could you please do a segment on diverticulosis; causes, remedies, foods to avoid? Thank you in advance. 😷

I’ve been on the fence about multis, taking them off and on. Going forward, it’s a definite “on”. Thanks for this very informative and timely video.

Another great report! But after watching this video I have come to the conclusion that we need two more specific types of vitamins. There should be a vitamin for more better grammar. 😘 And secondly, there should be a chocolate covered vitamin! 😋 Or we could have the grammar vitamin covered in chocolate and make a lot more people happy with one pill! 🤩 But you're correct, people are living longer and need to be more cognitive during their lifespan! And I can't see many people disagreeing with a chocolate solution! 😁 More people would remember to take their vitamins! 👍 Thanks for sharing a humorous way of improving our health!

Another fascinating video. Interesting that the study says taking multivitamin improves cognitive function, but they don't know what parts of the multivitamin are responsible for this? So I guess the takeaway is to just get any decent multivitamin, like Centrum, and take it? Can you do a video on the difference between cocoa and cacao? That is so confusing to me. It's sad that cocoa didn't make the cut but I'm still going to keep eating my chocolate. Thank you!

Found your video in my Google feed....it caught my interest because I'm 53 and I come from three generations of Dementia and have the APOE 2 gene. I have to look at the prevention aspect versus a cure. I stay on a diet low sugar and know what is inflammatory to my body. I found your video informative and entertaining! I will subscribe and look forward to seeing videos on prevention of disease. Thank You!

That's actually not a bad number of participants & a good time-line. Low dose multi vites do help, going over board on heavy duty vites is not good. Chocolate in moderation if anything lifts spirits that will you easier to live with lol. What leads to faster decline is a lack of exercise, & participation in learning news things , community etc. There are so many factors involved identifying them all is a must. Thank you Guys loved it💜

Appreciate this video! I have taken multivitamins on a sporadic basis. I've never been sure if vitamins really do any good. We used to be taught if you ate a varied diet, you don't need a vitamin. But this video has convinced me to take a multivitamin regularly. Thank you for removing the doubt!

Halloween is around the corner. I think I’ll try my own study on chocolate.🍫🍫😉. Thanks again for your video!

Chocolate covered vitamins… Filling out Patent forms now… Lol thank you

Hello Dr Zal Zal and Dr Weening. I always enjoy listening and watching Talking with Docs episodes. Keep up the great work!😊

Thanks guys!! Keep giving us this great info. It is so helpful❤️

Hi Docs. I would eat alot of chocolate and I couldn't remember 💩. I have tried vitamins that would help cognitive behaviors and still nothing. So I took a vitamin than ate chocolate and nothing. Still have a bad memory. I even forget simple words. It is very frustrating to say the least. I have taken a multi vitamin and the only thing it did was give me constipation. Needless to say I do not eat chocolate or take a multi vitamin anymore. I will live just the way I am. Thank you for always giving us all the information we need. Your efforts do not go unnoticed.

You guys dude so important thing,God bless you!!!I'm not only learning medicine stuff only by myself,also I learning english because of you!Thank you of full my heart

Loved this one also. Like people with a good sense of humor. Just had the dreaded double hernia surgery (no mesh). The anesthesiologist was having trouble getting his computer to work and said, sorry, you're going to have to do this without anesthesia, just joking. That little bit of levity relaxed me immensely. So there you go. It's pretty much the say goodbye to your genitals for a while surgery.

Thanks Docs for making it clear between chocolates and Vitamins 😊I do like my chocolate but vitamins do help depending on what you take! Keep up the great videos! Take care Docs!,

Awesome news. Thanks for keeping us in the know 😊

Thank you for being so helpful , and taken time to share all this information to keep us healthy.you are amazing doctors, and very much appreciated, keep up the fun side as you are so funny, a million of doctors like you both, would change a world, Gid Bless keep safe.❤❤❤❤

Small numbers, but the study was well structured. Great description of a clinical trial and love your humorous approach. I remain loyal to chocolate.

As a 68-year old chocoholic (preferring dark chocolate with ~70% cocoa content), I'm still trying to rationalize that there nevertheless appears to be a slight positive memory effect from the chocolate, peaking at the two year point in your graphs. Is that effect not statistically significant? Also, as a 3-4 cup-a-day black coffee drinker, I'm curions as to whether you're planning a presentation on studies of the effects of coffee?

I know y'all are super busy, but whenever you do a journal review, could you tag the video to include "Journal Review"? BTW, another great video. I feel better about my lifelong use of multivitamins. Thanks!

I absolutely love your rapid humor. Am 76 and have the same humor with my children and some of my good fast brained humorous friends. Think stimulating conversation and a positive outlook on life and stimulating chatting, especially rapid, with kindred spirits, keeps a brain 🧠 active. I’m kind to those who don’t respond.

I have heard that cultures that use a lot of turmeric in their cooking have better memory function as they age. I add it to soups and chicken dishes all the time.

I love the study info, thank you. It is also really an example of "the more we know the more we don't know". Which of the vitamins in the multivitamin helped? Maybe one actually inhibits but the others helped...etc. I wish young college grads could enter fully funded research to do research full time.

Thanks for this humorous presentation & informative talk….

Centrum is a bit expensive, but there are "store brands" of identical composition at lower prices. Just read and compare labels.

I just found you, was going to lay down and just listen to you before going to bed, and you were so funny, cracking up. I will be scoping out more …I hope you’re always so entertaining.

Thanks, Docs. I always learn something.

You guys are so funny! Keep the videos coming!

Already smarter than most politicians and media. Afraid to improve :)

Interesting! I love really dark chocolate. I’m curious, do either of you ever get colds? I know when I was working in the office and after retirement, I worked part-time in a pharmacy for a bit. I used to average minimum 5 bad colds per year. Retired full-time, average 1 mild head cold a year. (Outside of just getting over Covid! I’ve had 4 vaccine shots, due for my 5th one next month. So glad I had those shots! It knocked me off my feet for 12 days. Almost a month since I caught it, still have pain in ears and tinnitus is worse and super strange thing, my acid reflux is nasty since I caught virus! I take Tecta twice a day and it’s not helping much at all. Grrrr thanks to both of you for helping the general public understand so many things. 😊❤️

Thanks Docs. Lying here with my broken (pinned and plated) ankle, catching up on your videos. I'll carry on with the multi-vitamin and take the chocolate too, just in case in due course the research shows that in sufficient quantites it does, after all, have a beneficial effect.

Thanks Doc's Great Information Well done!!👍

Good morning docs . Watching y'all with my coffee this morning enjoying both. Had doc one time told me to take Flintstone vitamins . I take mens over 50 every day. My oncologist has me on several vitamins I really think they help. I Try to get some sort of exercise my knees & foot limit me on what I can do other than bending my elbow a lot of folks diet is really bad . Thank y'all so much for your informative videos. Down in Florida we are strapping down or chin strap if we remember LOL you all have a wonderful weekend .

Always excellent information!

Mind you docs that I like to eat 90% dark chocolate once in a while that’s one of my favourite.. suppose to be better you…

Great hats and yes on the vitamins!

Good One guys..as always!!!!

After the age of 80 I noticed 3 things start to happen. 1) 1st you lose your hearing 2) 2nd thing you lose your memory 3) and the 3rd thing I forgot.

Want a sharp memory? Teach your brain to multitask and comprehend a variety of complex subject matter from an early age. In my case it's speaking several languages, playing an instrument, and studying music theory in depth. My brain ended up creating multiple visual pathways to access the same stored memories. I guess it's a form of neuroplasticity, or keeping your brain "nimble". Similar to knowing how to get to the same city using different roads, highways, etc. Stored memory is static, but accessing it is the key.

Hi Docs ! I have cervical spondylosis. Of course it came from arthritis. I get rhizotomies done about every 6 months. I have 2 classmates from 50 years ago that have had theirs repaired. I was told by my PCP that cervical surgery is risky. Could you PLEASE do a video about cervical spondylosis ?? I know MANY people have it. Are there any new treatments out there ? I love your videos.

Great advice. Thank you. Guess I’ll be seeing my Pharmacist soon.

Not so much today my wise counselors. The insurance companies run the medical field as well as most doctors so we have to be ten times more active and work hard at getting better or staying well. Once you get a good doc (hard to do) then hang on to them for dear life. You two men are the best.

Docs, you make me smile . . . good news (or not-so-good news). Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I take a multivitamin ( . . . Proactive 65+). I’ll need to see how it compares to Centrum.

Another good video. Interesting a multivitamin worked to some degree. Thanks for sharing

I was always told multi vitamins are good. But to make sure its not all fillers and a good vitamin. With that said, centrum was on the do not use list

Ok....you two take Centrum and I have been taking Costco's Over 50 multivitamin for years. How do we know which multivitamin we can trust to be the most trustworthy?

Love you guys and thanks for the video. Huggs ❤️

Omega 3 oil capsules really improved my memory. I take one a day. And dark chocolate (70% cocoa) improved my blood pressure which was a little high.

Thank you guys (respected docs)! I've been taking Centrum for years. I remember to take them every day, 'cause I use my 7-day/week pill box! 💊 heh-heh!

I could swear I remember where the chocolates are when I eat them, it must help with something.... lol

Thanks Docs. Very entertaining and informative as usual. I love you guys. I have been on a Multi for years. I did stop the fish oil. Not sure if that one is worthwhile for the heart? What do you think?

I'm 81.5 years old. I take a multi- vitamin for women 50 years.+.also CO-Q-10 because I take a statin. Also take Areds for early macular degeneration. Thanks for your message they are always informative.

Here in Switzerland we eat lots of chocolate we don’t have rotten teeth. Thank you for you videos I enjoy them and share them

Good to know. Cheers legends!

There’s a good commentary on this at ScienceBased Medicine. The gist is that the effect may just be down to the B vitamins which are known to reduce homocysteine levels, which is linked to poor vascular health.

Multi vitamin, hm. Chocolate is tastier, but I think I might give the vitamin a go. Thanks!

Hi Docs! I enjoyed your video, and my question is this. Centrum vs a generic Centrum/does it matter in your opinions?

Thanks for the study and off the the store to get some centrum. So how do you like your Garmin watch Doctor Weening?

Thank you so much.

You guys 😂 crack me up…love your channel….

I’m getting back on a daily vitamin PRONTO!

I wonder what the range of ages of the test group is..

I wonder if cacao powder dutch processed, with no sugar, would yield better results. Multivitamins are also great for many body organs, so why not taking them anyway?

Good news there as I'm in my mid 50's and never had such a harder time trying to remember things. Even simple words in a sentence seem to escape me. I don't get it so this is good news. Docs what's your take on magnesium, Ginko Biloba or vitamin B12 for memory?

All I know is if I have chocolate, it makes me happy. And if I'm happy, those "happiness" endorphins will of course make me all-around healthier.😊🙌 Chocolate 🍫is happiness.

Thank you 😊

Hey docs, are humans capable of forming blastema cells?

I love and respect you guys. Your posts always address questions I need answers to. However, I was excited to learn about Centrum and noticed all the non-medicinal ingredients! They were scary. I eat clean and work hard at maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Yet, those ingredients stopped me in my tracks from purchasing Centrum. I am a 68 year old woman. Thoughts?

Too funny, good show!

Please do an episode on the effect of Omega-3 as well as lion's mane mushrooms on brain function.

Loved the video

What do you think of Lion's mane? Also: Dennis McKenna is pretty sharp, if ya know what I mean.

Interesting. Can you talk a little about Aduhelm? From the reports it seems Centurm may be better......

Awesome. Thanks for sharing. I'm 68, slightly elevated A1c and ok triglycerides. T3 uptake is high. SVT is under control and heart is otherwise healthy. Really want to loose 10 lbs weight. Am 190 lbs. For BMI of 25 chart says 185 but am low muscle so I believe

I have learn so much from you Doc’s at the same time I get a good laugh, which is good medicine too,

Hey Docs, is there a difference between gummy or pill form?

I got to check out the multi vitamin scene for my self and my buddy who is just starting out on his big AL journey. Positive news yesterday with the article on "Donanemab." I guess you might be covering more Alzheimer and dementia stories. Meanwhile I'm still sticking with the 70% coca...regardless!

I can't tell for sure on the figure, but do the 95 percent confidence intervals overlap?

What do you guys look like without your do-rags?

I do not know about chocolate, when I eat,do not think about nothing 😁

Love your videos.

Not sure about memory, however, they both increase my weight hehe. Now, that said, as a choco lover forever, (especially dark), and a vitamin taker the last few yrs, (I am 73), I am still an avid online MMO-player. Been almost 25 years and I can still raid bosses, remember the strats and keep up with 20 yr olds who throw me player commendations after fights so...go figure :)

Was it the silver vitamin or just regular multi?

Thanks, but not the conclusion I wanted to hear 😁

I'm watching this while eating chocolate because I'm preparing for my exams... Thanks for a very informative video❤️

and one last thing I wanna ask you about hemorrhoids,like doing more informing because it so important and pain disease,and let people do not understand Thank

Which multivitamin? What about CoQ10? Or Omega 3/Fish Oil?

What can I take? I have an ulcerative stomach.

Excellent video! Now that I know more, I'll give up my chocolate covered multi-vitamin and just stick with the Centrum Silver.

I take chilli dark chocolate. Two pieces a day, since my tripple bypass. ❤❤

There is chocolate (usually with about 50+% sugar! and unhealthy) and cocoa . . ....

How about how about chocolate milk

People need to use the French/European version of chocolate--which uses about 1/3 to 1/4 of the sugar used in North America. Chocolate may be great, but the sugar isn't. You have to have what we used to call "Grandmother Cocoa"---since she lost her taste for sugar, and whoo boy! Talk about no sugar!!

I get an average of 20 answers right (before the contestants) per game of Jeopardy. Depending on the category, sometimes more. I am in my mid 60's. I wish I had been a contestant when I was younger. Now, my speed of recall has slowed down. I also usually know the answer that none of them got a couple of times per show.

Whew!! Good information....I do take this vitamin but in the generic form....hope it doesn't have to be name brand!😁
