Imagine my joy when I encountered this news:
Bacteria Cause Chocolate Cravings
Oct. 12, 2007
"If that craving for chocolate sometimes feels like it is coming from deep in your gut, that's because maybe it is.
A small study links the type of bacteria living in people's digestive system to a desire for chocolate. Everyone has a vast community of microbes in their guts. But people who crave daily chocolate show signs of having different colonies of bacteria than people who are immune to chocolate's allure."
My favorite sentence of the article:
"In fact, the study was delayed because it took a year for the researchers to find 11 men who don't eat chocolate."
The full article is actually rather interesting about the relationship between said gut bugs and food/eating/obesity, etc.
Eww and Yay all at the same time LOL. I guess that explains why I love chocolate so much, he he Now I have to leave this up on "accident" for my husband to see LOL
