Chocolate Production in Venezuela

The reputation chocolate has for
being a mood elevator can be based
in part on its chemical content;
chocolate contains several natural
mood altering chemicals including
phenylethylalanine and anandamide.
(Phenylethylalanine is the
chemical found in the blood of
people who are in love.) One of
the active ingredients, anandamide
stimulates the same parts of your
brain as marijuana, however it
would require eating 25 pounds of
chocolate at one time to get
anywhere near the effects you get
from marijuana.
