Chocolate is better than kissing

by Sarah J. Gim, Posted Apr 17th 2007 @ 11:32AM

Cassanova may beg to differ, but according to the research of Dr. David Lewis of Mind Lab, chocolate causes a more intense buzz than kissing, "A buzz that, in many cases, lasted four times as long as the most passionate kiss."

The study was done on couples in their 20s who wore scalp electrodes and heart monitors.

It is already known that chocolate has an effect on the brain, but the key to getting that long-lasting buzz is letting it melt slowly on the tongue.

I guess there's a new meaning to "Hershey's Kiss."

Of course we are upset about the news- devistated, even. But what are we going to jabber about and make comments on that A. Hasn't already been said and B. Isn't simply someone making another comment?

We already all know we're reeling from the ordeal- is it appropriate to chat it up over a FOOD blog? I think not; to me that just seems rude.
