Chocolate is addictive?

I cannot resist eating chocolate whatever the situation. Chocolate makes me really happy and swings my mood from good to bad. So is this addiction? Well I do not know, but there are some views floating on this topic. I went ahead and read a few and was happy to know that it is not addictive. Let us go more in detail.

• The Psychologists say “No” – As per clinical Psychology chocolate is not an addiction. You can call it craving. This is because addiction is more general. An addictive substance will affect all without discrimination. However chocolate craving is found more in women, and can be linked to hormonal changes rather than addiction.
• Contains mood enhancing chemicals – Very similar to drugs that have the potential to be addictive, chocolate also has mood enhancing chemicals. Theobromine a chemical found in cocoa is said to have a stimulating effect on the brain. However according to scientists it is one-tenth of the effect hence does not qualify as addictive.
• Contains a chemical found in Marijuana – One researcher found out that chocolate contains. Piomelli a substance found in chocolate and Marijuana gives a high to the brain cells. However chocolate has very less of the substance. However it is present which makes me think that it can be addictive.

Decide for yourself whether chocolate is addictive or not. I am going to continue eating it no matter what!

Chocolate is evolving

As you all know I am a chocoholic. I am always curious to try all different sorts and types of chocolate out there. We’ve heard of chili chocolate or other interesting flavors like lavender infused chocolate. Can you believe that now there is such a thing as bacon chocolate! Who would’ve imagined 20 years ago that someone would be so clever to combine fatty,delicious bacon with creamy, delectable chocolate! I have not yet tried this dreamy combination, have any of you? Comment if you have and let me know how it was!

While on my last trip to the United States I also saw some other interesting flavors such as smokehouse BBQ potato chip, peanut butter banana, peach, beef jerky and chili dark chocolate. It’s even possible to buy chocolate covered potato chips these days. What will they come up with next? Am I excited to try out these flavors? Well, I have to admit that since I am a chocoholic and so passionate about chocolate I will try these flavors at some point. Would I choose this chocolate as my first choice? Definitely not, but as I said before I am open to trying any type of chocolate out there!

The world offers so many different types of chocolate. Whether it be Mexico and it’s chili chocolate, Japan with it’s many different types of Kit-Kat flavors or Europe with it’s extensive variety of chocolate, I believe there is something for everyone, even for the people who claim they “don’t like” chocolate. They just haven’t had the right kind yet, or that’s what I believe at least!
