Are you addicted?
Scientists have noted that the pleasantness of eating chocolate are associated with increased blood flow in areas of the brain, particularly in the orbital frontal cortex and midbrain, that are also activated by addictive drugs such as cocaine.
Many food scientists have reported chocolate to be the single most craved food. Some researchers have even argued that chocolate is addictive. Although others say that it is not so. Substances present in chocolate which have been highlighted as potentially pharmacologically significant include serotonin, tryptophan, phenylethylamine, tyramine and cannabinoids.
