Re: Why do women find solace in chocolate?

Well, eating chocolate actually leads to the production of a neurotransmitter called serotonin. Serotonin has anti depressant qualities and it gives a sense of well-being, so basically if you don't produce enough serotonin you're more likely to suffer from depression. Some studies have actually proven that women naturally produce less serotonin than men...so maybe that's why we eat more chocolate?

Chocolate also stimulates the release of endorphins which are another group of neurotransmitters that block pain perception and produce analgesic effects. So chocolate helps prevent pain as well as providing a sense of well-being.

So yeah...eating chocolate can actually be quite comforting for some women.

How you’re not doing Med :hayaa:

So whenever a female gets cranky we wave Cadbury under their noses :stuck_out_tongue:

Jokes aside, very interesting as I didn’t know chocolate had that effect biologically, I just thought it was more of a saying ‘choc makes happy’ etc!

Shaku,

Why the sudden flood of women-related threads from you? Is it because you managed (with great difficulty, of course) to pataao and phansao a girl…and then you (with much LESS difficulty and plenty of ease and natural finesse) made her cry??? And then had to gift her a Cadbury bar (which you must have eaten half of) to cheer her up. Yes, that sounds like something you’d do. That said, you should add “ti” to your nik and change it to Shakti and then tack on a Kapoor at the end.

***But more seriously, one theory is that our body will sometimes crave foods that contain minerals/nutrients that we’re lacking. One such mineral in chocolate is magnesium.

And here’s another theory: “Chocolate contains anadamine, a brain chemical that helps brighten our mood. Scientists believe that other chemicals in chocolate cause anadamide to stay longer in the brain, thus enhancing its positive effect. The sugar in chocolate also boosts our levels of endorphins, another hormone that makes us happy. Don’t eat too much, though.” This came from the following web site: http://www.philstar.com/article.aspx?articleid=521848

Also, Shakti Kapoor.....

Why does it matter if the girls need chocolate to make themselves feel better? To each his own. Live and let live, I say. You let them the ladies find comfort in chocolate......while you find your solace in your secret stash of booze. :p

Re: Why do women find solace in chocolate?

Haha no when the time comes I don’t need tp ‘phansain’ anyone :phati:

Shakti Kapoor? Oh RV, I expected so much better :no:

I am a very nosy dude, what can I say!

Re: Why do women find solace in chocolate?

Does that mean I’m a woman :bummer: ???

Re: Why do women find solace in chocolate?

i've always heard that the initial pleasure we get from our first bite of a piece of milk chocolate is similar to the feelings a person would get during good sex............

Re: Why do women find solace in chocolate?

HEARD :D!!!

So that’s hearsay, not undeniable, unquestionable, irrevocable, irrefutible scientific proof … is it?

One should’nt put too much belief in gossip and hearsay (or the intentional propaganda by evil chocolate industry for that matter) :nono:.

Stop suggesting such things manisha. What do you want, people stop falling in love and start eating chocolate :nono: !
