I think so. Chocolate has flavanoids, anti-oxidants and is a feel-good food which means when you eat it, it makes your body release Serotonin the "feel-good" hormone.

good chocolate

I love dark chocolates. I read somewhere that they did have health benefits, but I don't know if that is really true or not:)

My sister has depression and dark chocolate levels her out when she's on a rampaage. I've heard that it raises the seratonin level or something like that in the brain.

Multiple observations suggest that seratonin, one of the abundant neurotransmitters, plays an important role in the regulation of mood and a key role in the treament of depression. Thanks for the response.

good news, we will benefit from eating chocolates especially the dark ones.The A-list of antioxidants now includes chocolates. Antioxidants help protect the body from damage caused by pollution, pesticides, smoking, stress and processed foods. But we have to eat it in moderation, otherwise, we will store the excess as fats because chocolate is energy dense so you don't have to consume much of it. Thanks for responding.

YEs it has anti-oxidants which is good. But almsot all chocolates have large amount of cocoa which is actually intoxicating. So effectively the overall result wont be good. That is if intake is more than 'once in a while' it would do mroe bad than good.

I agree, but it has to be the REAL dark chocolate, like the natural, hardly sweet, dark chocolate. Not the kind you get from Hershey's or other candy companies like that.

Dark chocolate has always been my favorite. Even better since it is good for you. It is an acquired taste though. The majority of people I know don't like it as they say it is too bitter.

http://www.webmd.com/content/article/88/99702.htm Check that out for a good article on why dark chocolate is good for you. It is not antioxidants, it's some type of chemical that makes your blood vessels healthy and helps with cholesterol. =)
