This is correct. The truth, however, is that it would only take few hours for WBC to increase. In a study, (18) volunteers ingested 50 g of 90% cocoa chocolate (Noir Prodigieux, Lindt) after fasting for 8 hours.
These are the results of their blood test four hours after ingesting 50 grams of 90% cocoa chocolate. 5.9 WBC to 7.0 WBC, this is just after 4 hours.

| Lymphocytes (x109/L) | 2.1±0.7 | 2.3±0.5 | 0.056 |
More practical approach is to take 2 to 3 teaspoons of 100% Cocoa daily.
Cacao is unprocessed and is even better, if you can not get that, regular 100% Hershey's Cocoa will do.

Chocolate improves low red blood count. Three times a day 1 small spoon full. In less than 3 weeks the red blood cells will increase. I have used it and it works, l have CLL in remission. 83 years old LLB
