Is it really true that chocolate helps with pms or is this another way for us to okay indulging in chocolate?

recycledgoth It's well known that chocolate has the "feel good" factor and can certainly have a lot of benefits. Everything in moderation of course though :-)

juliefaye I don't think that's true and can help during PMS. Caffeine (can be found in chocolate) is a central nervous system stimulant that can make you anxious and jittery. It also acts as diuretic and can deplete many important nutrients during PMS days.

LWatrous I believe the association with chocolate cravings and PMS comes from the chemical reaction that chocolate induces in the brain--the feeling of being loved. Since we feel so crappy during PMS, we look to that to comfort us... I'm not sure how correct that is,...
