Chocolate an addiction or not?

I just love chocolates....I can die for it!!!!! Even if I start hating the world, my love for chocolates would never die!!!! Its a guilty pleasure after all!!!!

It can be addictive for some people. It is not the sugar in choclate that it addictive; there are other chemicals in chocolate that affect serotonin levels in the brain (pleasure stimulators). I personally am a chocoholic. If I do not get at least a small portion of chocolate each day, my hands start to shake until after I have eaten some. No other candy or sugar will stop this reaction.

I think it depends on the person, if the person has the tendency to be addicted with something then anything could be addictive. :) However, on my side, we do eat chocolate more than once a month but there are days when I'd rather not eat (or don't feel like eating chocolates).

For me chocolate is not an addiction. I live in Belgium, so we have the best chocolate around. I love eating it, but I don't overdo it. I think I used to eat more chocolate than now, not sure why though! I still love it. :) I couldn't give it up for such a long time like you did, though. I wouldn't really know why I would. I don't really think it's unhealthy if you eat chocolate moderately. I've even heard that it's good for you to eat a piece of dark chocolate, as long as you don't eat too much of course.

Chcoolate definitely is an addiction to a lot of people, I'm one of them. Eating one is all it takes, then I can't stop picking up another one until my stomach gets sick... I try not to buy candies when I'm at the store so I won't lose control when I go home with the chocolate.

I am so addicted to chocolate, it just don't eat whenever my parents bring me some chocolates whenever they come back home from the US, but i literally crave and sometimes buy. I also ask chocolates from my relatives in Japan to send me some because chocolates here in the PI are very expensive. I can finish a big bar a day. My friends would even be shocked on the amount of chocolate I could consume a day. I dont care, I just love em'.

I se chocolate as un undeniable treat at times. i don't see it as an addiction. I think chocolate could be considered an addiction for someone if having that chocloate went against their own nature to obtain,

Chocolates contain caffeine but in a very small amount, way different from what coffee and tea have. I dont thik it can cause addiction but obsession maybe it does. lol I love chocolates especially this time that I am pregnant.

I don't think chocolate can be an addiction, I think the sugar in the chocolate what drives people craving for chocolate or somewhat make them addicted to it. I know most of us have sweet tooth, and that what makes us craving for something sweet. heheh Also If you think about a chocolate without the sugar present it will be just a plane old dark chocolate with a bitter taste to it, and I know most people don't like that taste with a bitter side on it. hehehe But still sometime chocolate can be a bit addicting. ^ ^

Well, I don't know if it can be considered as an addiction, but I noticed that when I am in stress, nervios or anxious, then I need to eat chocolate. Doing so, I feel that's easier for me to control those situations. Also, I listened that when women become their menstruation, they also eat more chocolate during those days.

Chocolates are heavenly but I don't really have the addiction for that. Even though there I have eaten tons of it, it's not really that addictive.
