Why Do Ladies Passionate About Chocolate?

"I never met a chocolate I didn't like." (Deanna Troi in Star Trek: The Next Generation).

Well said. Even in the 23rd century, women passionate about chocolates. They just adore chocolates; no question about it. Seventy-five percent of chocolate consumptions are made by women. They consume more than 2.3 billion pounds of chocolate (about 12 lb. per person) and spend nearly $12 billion dollars (twice as much as all non-chocolate sweet items combined) every year in the Unite State only (people in Switzerland consume nearly twice as much). They really worship chocolate, and some of them even said chocolate is better than sex or men!

So why do women adore chocolate? Are there any scientific accounts for this chocolate love? Researchers have in fact been studying on it for a long time, and still they can't figure out exactly what is going on. Some scientists suggested that a certain chemical which is rich in chocolate excites the same brain chemicals that go up when sexually aroused. This theory, however, was abandoned, since the composition in the chocolates disintegrates promptly in the body.

Another thought suggested by scientists is that when you feel happy, you create another type of brain chemical (or other way around; if this chemical is secreted, you feel happy). Unfortunately this chemical loses the power really quickly and majority of people cannot stay "happy" for a long time. Two types of compositions located in chocolate delay this disintegration, and sustain people happy longer. These elements actually do work in a test tube, but so far no experiments of oral ingestion have been rigorously carried out, and it may come out not to be a real reason.

One widely accepted thought is that, since high fat and high sugar were basic needs for a cave man's life, given these two essential necessities (which are rich in chocolate) creates "satisfaction" in the hunger center of the brain, and make us happy. Some trials hint this "effect" is stronger among women, especially women with a history of binge eating.

In summary, they still can't explain exactly what is taking place in our brains (especially ladies), when we taste chocolate, even though we in fact observe the effect. I have, however, a wholly non-scientific explanation why women love chocolate.

When you put a piece of chocolate in your mouth, what is the most pleasurable side of chocolate? I think it is how the chocolate melts in the mouth. A piece of chocolate slowly softens up on the tongue. It has a velvety warm sensation like the kiss of a lover. The melting chocolate wraps around your tongue, and the fragrance of sweet cacao excites us like that of the lover's body. Yes, it is almost like a prelude to the most sensual love affair. No wonder women love chocolate (more than they love men; chocolate is a perfect kisser!).

There is no uncertainty that chocolate is one of the best selections for Valentine's day presents, but are all chocolates are equally good for a gift for your special someone?

According to my non-scientific explanation, the melt is most important factor, then flavor. What kind of chocolates provide these qualities best? I think chocolate truffles are the best selection. They are created from cacao and fresh cream. They melt like butter. Because of the melt, the chocolate releases its flavor quick, and fragrance fills your nostrils and excites the entire body. It is really an rapturous experience to savor chocolate truffles.

If you want to push further, order organic chocolate truffles, which tend to be far more tasteful as any other organic produces. In fact, once you savor organic chocolate truffles, it is difficult to go back to commonplace chocolates. There is no doubt that organic chocolate truffles are one of the best selections on Valentine's day.
