People who love chocolate but only the good kind

Chocolate facts

I was surfing the web, and I saw a website all about chocolate. It  had everything  about chocolate!  Here are some facts that I found out
- chocolate itself does not cause cavities. Cacao actually contains "antibacterial agents that fight tooth decay". (but sugar is a cause in cavities)
-Some studies SAY that chocolate may cause headaches, but there is little evidence of this ( who would have thought....)
-smell of chocolate may relax you. It increases theta waves in your brain.
-Chocolate contains "phenylethylamin". Its the same stuff our brain produces when we get happy or in love.
- to get "high" off of chocolate, you would have to eat about 25 pounds of chocolate at one time.
-chocolate doesn't raise your cholesterol
-Chocolate contains flavoids, which is also present in fruits, vegetables and teas.
-milk chocolate contains calcium.. DARK chocolate doesn't.
 There was a lot more facts in this website about chocolate thats I didn't know before.

Wow,now that sounds really interesting...I didn't know that people have that many benefits from chocolate,I guess it is one of those things that people are really proud to have invented it:)

That is really interesting. Its good that chocolate doesn't raise your choloesterol. If chocolate relaxes you, I don't think they would be able to cause headaches. Wow, 25 lbs of chocolate is a lot. I don't think anyone could eat that much. But I do love chocolate, it does make me happy!

Does it say anything about acne? I've always heard that chocolate causes acne.
