Why Do Girls Love Chocolate SO MUCH?


Do you love chocolate? Of course you do! 99% of girls love chocolate. Did you know that there is a scientific reason for all of this? It’s true. Chocolate contains many mood-enhancing chemicals. One of those chemicals, phenylethylamine, is actually the very same chemical that your brain releases when you fall in love. This is why chocolate increases your heart rate and gives you a certain gush of excitement when you eat it.
Back when chocolate was first being discovered, it was only consumed as a beverage. And also, that beverage was mostly consumed by men. Over the years, chocolate became a solid food and women and children were soon allowed to consume it, as well.
Another reason scientists say that women crave chocolate so much is because they are often under the assumption that this is something that they’re not allowed to have. Obviously, too much chocolate can cause a girl to gain weight. But because girls have told themselves that this food is forbidden, this does nothing but enhance a girl’s craving for it.
Of course there are also very practical reasons for loving chocolate that have nothing to do with science. I mean, it smells great, melts in your mouth, and tastes like heaven. Did you know that people in the United States have reported to craving chocolate more than anything else? So how about you…do you crave chocolate?
