One needs to ingest a lot of chocolate to get that "in-love" feeling that phenylethylamine causes. I used to say to my friends and co-workers,"Have some chocolate. It'll make you feel better." I doubt it had any real effect on their feelings of well-being. I think the fact that someone gave them permission to eat chocolate made them happier. Usually when I eat chocolate, I'm in the company of my best friends. So I'll to say, yes, it does make me feel better. I'd probably feel just as good sharing a plate of broccoli.

Yes, as long as it's really good choc and only 2 mouthfuls. Any more and it doesn't feel like a special treat. Perhaps that feeling's enough, along with the fat, sugar and caffeine. It's got lots of magnesium in it too, which is supposedly why I crave it when I've got PMT. And it's supposed to be good for the heart, which certainly makes me happy!

Yes, it makes me happy. In fact, I am not myself when I go an entire day without it. I must have chocolate: chocolate milk, mochas, chocolate ice cream, chocolate bars, you name it. But, the rush doesn't last long, and so I keep having to eat more.

As a matter of fact, I always feel happier every time I get to eat and feel satisfied if I liked what I have eaten. I am a choco-holic.. I love chocolate, just the sight of it makes me happy.. And tasting it brings me to the highest level... heheh!

I don't know if it makes me "feel" happy, however, I do love to eat it.

i believe it does. It's actually one of my comfort foods. I feel better after eating a chunk or two, specially during my most stressed days. Chocolates will surely lift anyones mood.
