Many people eat chocolates. Some are really addicted to it. Some of my adult friends say eating chocolate helps them driving away tension. Some say it is just a timepass.
What do you feel? Why do you eat chocolates? How many chocolates do you eat in a day?

Even if you are overweight, it makes little difference, in moderation there would be just as many health benefits as there would be for a non-overweight person. Key would being moderation! ;)

Love chocolate. Dark chocolate is better for your health than milk chocolate. I eat chocolate to make me feel better. There is a chemical in the chocolate that stimulates the brain. I also eat chocolates for PMS. I know its not a good excuse, but hey why not use it as an excuse if I can get away with it.
Happy Eatting!!!

You have said, "Dark chocolate is better for your health than milk chocolate. I eat chocolate to make me feel better. There is a chemical in the chocolate that stimulates the brain."
Can you please throw more light on -- 'Dark chocolate', 'chemical in the chocolate that stimulates the brain'?
Please do for us.

Chocolate does have health benefits..dark chocolate (semi-sweet) has more anti-oxidents than regular or milk chocolates. It's also an natural aphrodesiac. I do eat chocolate everyday..love it..but you have to be able to not overindulge...you can get too much of a good thing!

I'm not a chocolate person, I personally prefer gummy sweets. Though they make a nice change.

Yes I love chocolates. Although I am aware they are not good for health, I cannot resist temptations.

Chocolates are good for you or at least the researchers say that it helps lower blood pressure. Just goes to show that I do not eat enough of the stuff but then again I think they mean dark chocolate whereas I prefer milk chocolate.
Just love chocolate. :)
