Just a short note on Chocolate, you either like it , love it, or believe it or not can do without it! Yes I have actually met individuals who do not like chocolate. Yes Chocolate contains fats, but once again people its all about moderate consumption. For those of us who do happen to indulge in this creamy,smooth rich confection its all good.

Why do we like it so much, speaking for myself it's the taste. Still a somewhat controversial topic ,researchers  are still making a point that the chemicals in chocolate  go straight to you brain!

There are mood elevating compounds in chocolate! Theo bromine-caffeine's cousin,Caffeine, and Phenylethylamine (PEA) this maybe the one that sets off the pleasurable feelings some claim to experience. That falling in love sensation ,which is why it is linked to Valentines day.
