Chocolate Better Than Relationships

A study carried out by Dr. David Lewis, formerly of the University of Sussex and currently part of Mind Lab, found some surprising results.

"Dr Lewis said: 'There is no doubt that chocolate beats kissing hands down when it comes to providing a long-lasting body and brain buzz.'"

"A buzz that, in many cases, lasted four times as long as the most passionate kiss."

"Although kissing set the heart pounding, the effect did not last as long as that seen with the chocolate, which increased heart rates from a resting rate of about 60 beats per minute to 140."

"The study also found that as the chocolate started melting, all regions of the brain received a boost far more intense and longer lasting than the excitement seen with kissing."

"Although women are generally thought to be bigger fans of chocolate than men, the research found the same reactions to chocolate in both sexes."

So, there is something to eating delicious snacks when you feel lonely, especially chocolate. The study was carried out with 60% cocoa dark chocolate as well. I love 60%-ish dark chocolate too.

In other news, there are more women online than men. I believe that there are more woman than men anyway, so not too surprising.
