The powerful effect of chocolate on the brain has surprised scientists during recent research.
Their findings have indicated that our partners may be more stimulated by a piece of chocolate than a romantic smooch.

After young volunteers wearing heart monitors and electrodes on their scalps alternated kissing their partners and munching on chocolate, it seems that the taste of chocolate melting on the tongue is four times more pleasurable than enjoying a passionate kiss.
The results found that all areas of the brain received a far more intense and longer lasting boost from the chocolate than the kiss, with the chocolate also having a more stimulating effect on heart rate. In some cases the number of beats per minute of the resting heart rate (60) more than doubled to a racing 140 from one taste of the sweet stuff. So next time they pucker up girls, here’s your excuse to tell them what you really want.
