I suggest you have a read of this.

There are quite a few health benifits that come with chocolate, too.

Now, I know, you are going to think this is too good to be true but chocolate may be good for your heart. That's because it contains significant amounts of phenol, a chemical (also present in red wine) that reduces the risk of heart disease by preventing the formation of plaques in coronary arteries. Forty-five grams of milk chocolate (or 2 tbsp of cocoa) has as much phenol as 158 ml of red wine.




and also,

Chocolate is a feel-good food because it causes or increases the release of endorphins, natural opiates in the brain that reduce pain. These are the same chemicals that are released during exercise and create the "runner's high." Also, chocolate boosts levels of serotonin, another natural brain chemical, which alleviates depression.


As for chocolate being addictive, well coffee is addictive. Cocca-cola is addictive. Gambling is addictive. Exercise is addictive. Videogames are addictive. Alcohol is addictive. The list goes on. In the end, the responsibility is on the individual person. If I'm at a party and I have a few drinks, that's fine. However if I drink myself silly over and over again, eventually I'm going to become dependant on the substance. Chocolate is not very addictive anyway, and even if someone is eating it to the point where they become addicted, it is certainly one of lesser harmful substances to be addicted to.

As for the taste, well I guess that is just a matter of opinion, but I for one love it! :grin:

Thats not all chocolate does you know, chocolate is also an aphrodisiac (that tastes and looks nicer than oisters). Trust me, do not mix vast quantities of chocolate with the caffeine content of 5 cups of tea and practically no other food..'tis highly embarassing....

I am a complete chocoholic btw but I don't ever intend to get as hyper on it as I did that once.

Yesiree! I lurve chocolate, and i know that may have done it once or twice, but your question does not fits the answer choices that are under it.

It shoud be either: Do you like chocolate?

or something like: I DO! and ME, NOT ME, NO WAY!

I like chocolate, "like" not "love" though. I can easily not eat it for a while XD

Great facts Nightcrawler! Esp. for those who like chocolate :grin:

Isn't it that dark chocolate is good for you? (rather then milk chocolate) I really don't remember ^_^'


Scellanis - yeah, I don't think chocolate + additional caffeine is a good idea XD

I love chocolate (Milka chocolate with strawberry yogurt inside, yummy!), nearly any kind of chocolate - hot chocolate in winter, all flavours (hot chocolate with amaretto flavour, e.g.), or Belgian chocolate... That doesn't mean that I would be addicted to it, I eat it when I feel like eating it and sometimes I don't eat it for weeks. In normal amount it won't get you fat.

For me, chocolate is very tasty however quite the opposite of addictive. After maybe a few small bars I just can't have any more even though I want to....

Must be an instinctive self defense mechanism against weight gain. :grin:

In moderation, chocolate is fine.
And tastes awesome (some of it)
Personally I love Toblerone, it's so good!
