I love chocolate very much, I will spend my money to buy chocolate because when I stres with my work, study, eat some chocolate will make you feel relax.. don't be afraid you will fat , if you eat chocolate with 70% cocoa (you won't be fat)
I like dark chocolate (70% cocoa)

You're absolutely right about chocolate with 70% cocoa solids - not only is it less fattening, but as it has cocoa, that's the stuff in chocolate that makes you feel relaxed and happy, because it releases endorphins into the bloodstream. Did you know that cocoa is also a superfood, and has other health benefits? I love dark chocolate, and my very favourite brand with 70% cocoa solids chocolate is Green & Blacks (they do an 80% cocoa solids bar nowadays!! I can't wait to try that one too) - they're organic and Fairtrade as well as delicious. Hurray for the cacao bean!

I think there is corellation between chocolate and stress. Many people like to eat chocolate to relief stress. It is a little pleasure which helps us to relax:)
Besides chocolate, especially dark chocolate, contains magnesium which is important to keep our nerves in good condition.
