why is chocolate a girls best friend? what is in it that makes us want
it so much? i'm sitting here wanting chocolate and too tired to go to
the store to get a candy bar. oh wait, there is chocolate in the house..
it may be in the form of an ice cream bar but it'll work... yeah...

i thought i heard one time that chocolate attacks a specific nerve
receptor that reacts to drugs, don't remember though

Love drug?
Chocolate contains a natural 'love drug'. Tryptophan is a chemical that
the brain uses to make a neurotransmitter called serotonin. High levels
of serotonin can produce feelings of elation, even ecstasy - hence the
name of the designer drug that also works by increasing serotonin
levels.

mmmmm chocolate ...best thing on earth ....

While tryptophan could be considered 'chocolate's ecstasy', another
chemical called phenylethylamine has earned the nickname 'chocolate
amphetamine.' High levels of this neurotransmitter help promote feelings
of attraction, excitement, giddiness and apprehension. Phenylethylamine
works by stimulating the brain's pleasure centres and reaches peak
levels during orgasm.

But many scientists are sceptical that chocolate could produce
mood-altering effects in this way. Chemicals like tryptophan and
phenylethylamine, which are also found in many other foodstuffs, are
present in chocolate only in very small quantities.

Chocolate pot?
The same is true of anandamide, the current favourite candidate for a
psychoactive chocolate ingredient. Anandamide is a neurotransmitter that
targets the same brain structures as THC, the active ingredient in
cannabis. But to make a substantial impact on the brain's own natural
anandamide levels, experts estimate you would need to eat several kilos
of chocolate!
