No himcheskoy depending on the chocolate does not exist - you just have a sweet tooth

It is believed that our passion for chocolate is like a narcotic, and blame its chemical composition, but it is not tak

Chocolate is literally packed with substances that are found in all addictive, from coffee to marijuana. That's why we want it. In terms of pharmacology it's amazing, but we are not able to resist, right?

No, not true. A recent study proves that we are just greedy. Sometimes people just can not resist the temptation. Until now, they had an excuse. It was believed that the very nature of chocolate is created so as to be the most tempting product in the world. It contains theobromine, a substance that is found in coffee. In it there are cannabinoids. Guess where else they found. It contains phenylethylamine "love chemical" that people make when their heartbeat quickens. And how can you resist such a powerful "cocktail"? Perhaps that is why the chocolate took over the world, right?

No. The taste of chocolate we enjoy about the same as the taste of milk, sugar and everything else that is packed in foil. Just so we eat it. In a recent study involved people who have a strong passion for chocolate. They all gave different varieties of chocolate. Some were given the usual chocolate. Some were given white chocolate, which is made on the basis of cocoa butter in the composition of which there are not many chemicals typical of real chocolate. Some were given a small pill that contained all of the chemicals that are present in a piece of chocolate. And some have not given anything.

Only one of these groups was able to fully satisfy their need for chocolate. As you might guess, it is those who got normal chocolate. Next on the list were the ones who got the white chocolate. Those who took the pill, said their craving for chocolate or in any way diminished. And those who did not get anything, just throwing in the glare of scientists, and refused to talk. So it turns out that our bodies - not fans of chemistry. We're just people who like the taste of chocolate and a sense of self-deception.
