Chocolate

Chocolate fans won't be surprised to know it's the easiest and most
popular solution to life's stresses and strains - from being dumped to
feeling hormonal.

It's naughty but nice and yet despite the calories and advice from our dentists, 11 million of us are eating it daily.

As we head to the biggest chocolate fest of the year - Easter - our
cravings hit a high, a the temptations will be particularly difficult if we're 'chocoholics' and can't resist the stuff.

Like other sweet food, chocolate is thought to stimulate the release of endorphins: natural body hormones that generate feelings of pleasure and well-being.

Jacqui Lowdon, spokesperson for the British Dietetic Association,
explains: "Chocolate's the most commonly craved food because it melts at body temperature and has that instant feel good factor."

Bio-psychologist Dr Leigh Gibson adds: "From a sensory point of view, it's quite a unique experience. The combination of creamy, fatty sensations and sweetness makes it a memorable taste that people want to return to."

Experts are still uncertain why people crave it so much even though it does contain 300 chemicals, including some ingredients such as caffeine that are mildly stimulating.

But how much is too much? If you are spending so much on chocolate you think it should be on prescription and your weight's soaring it could be time to think about help.
