Chocolate.


who doesn't like chocolate? well, who ever don't like chocolate sure missed one of the most delicious food the whole wide world. since i was a little, i would love eating chocolates. any kind of chocolates. chocolate milk, chocolate cookies, hot chocolate, chocolate ice cream. damn =.= i;m hungry. but my mom use to tell me that "chocolate is not good for your health" "chocolate is a junk food it gives u cavities" well, i'm all grown up now. i think. :) so, do we really know the real facts about chocolate? is it really bad for health? does it make u fat? is it addictive?

so, i when up googling about chocolates and all. then i found out interesting facts about em. dark chocolate has antioxidants which may help prevent cancer and heart disease. chocolates also contain theobromine which is a long distance relative of caffeine and magnesium. chocolates also contains tryptophan, a chemical which help your body to create serotonin. in other word. natural anti-depression in our body. this is why they call chocolates as a great natural anti-depression. chocolates also has a chemical name phenylethylamine which release serotonin and endorphins. the two chemical that is known to make us feel happy. that is why we'll be in a good mood when we consume chocolates. that is also a good reason why girls who are having their period should eat chocolates to sooth their emotions. :)

fun facts about chocolates :
  • did u know that the word "chocolate" came from the aztec word "xocolatl" which in english, in means "bitter water".
  • did u know that the weight of the largest chocolates ever made is 5026 pounds or equal to 2279 kilogram. according to the guiness world book of records, it was produced by elah-dufour united food company at turin - italy, in march 2000.
  • did u know that there are believes that says chocolate is an aphrodisiac. in another word, it can increases your level of pheromone and will drive u to have sex. :)
  •  did u know that so many scientist studies, failed to link up the connection between chocolate and acne. so, there is no proof saying eating chocolate can cause acne. (but i think it could, if that person is allergic to some of the chemical in the chocolate, it can cause acne to them. well, that's just my opinion tho. :D) 
  • did u know that the the swiss people consume more chocolates than other countries followed by the english people. and the asians are comparatively have a small culture on eating chocolates. for example, the asians only eat 1 bar of chocolate for every 1000 chocolate bars eaten by the english! wow!
but, behind every food that is delicious and have a great taste. there will be a a bad side effects if we took them in a big amount. consuming them more than our body should take in a day could result in excess energy. and we do know that excess energy that is not in use will turn into fat. that is why we should eat with the right amount and not taking it more than we should. anything that we eat is like that. not just chocolates. even for meat and veggies. so, in conclusion, we should eat healthily and enjoy good food with the right amount. as and old saying that i heard says "sweets are poisons, bitter are medicines". 

as for that. enjoy the cadbury's adds below. it doesn't have anything to do with chocolates. but it does bring a smile to me. :)
