Scientists explain chocolate cravings (By SETH BORENSTEIN, AP Science Writer Fri Oct 12, 4:34 AM ET) WASHINGTON - If that craving for chocolate sometimes feels like it is coming from deep in your gut, that's because maybe it is. A small study links the type of bacteria living in people's digestive system to a desire for chocolate. Everyone has a vast community of microbes in their guts. But people who crave daily chocolate show signs of having different colonies of bacteria than people who are immune to chocolate's allure. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20071012/ap_on_he_me/diet_chocolate_craving Who would've guessed? I have the kind of bacteria that craves white and milk chocolate daily[;)]. How about you?.................luci

I've been addicted to much worse. If that's the worst thing we crave, we'll be just fine[;)].......luci

I can't believe there is no one else on these forums that has anything to say about chocolate addiction. Owner, guess you and I are the only two who have that particular condition[8D]. Saves more for us..............luci

It's good for the heart, it helps to lower blood pressure, its gives you a seratonin boost among other things AND it tastes good. Works for me. Not like I needed any more encouragement to eat some every day. {goes and gets a fudge pop from the freezer}

I can get pretty violently ill if I don't have a rather large intake of milk. I typically drink the better part of a gallon per day. So, perhaps it's similar?

Chocolate (especially dark) can trigger an endorphin release similar to a good flogging or a "runner's high." Thank you, luci, I loved the article. My favorite part was quote: In fact, the study was delayed because it took a year for the researchers to find 11 men who don't eat chocolate. [:D] -Miss Ellen
