Yes apparantly chocolate makes you feel down! I mean what are the chances that possibly one of the best things on this planet can make you depressed? But according to experts this is the case. Research in Archives of Internal Medicine shows those who eat at least a bar every week are more glum than those who only eat chocolate now and again.
Many people believe chocolate has the power to lift a mood, and the US team say this may be true, although scientific proof for this is lacking. In the study, which included nearly 1,000 adults, the more chocolate the men and women consumed the lower their mood. This may not be the case though it might just be that people that are depressed and upset about things might just crave the chocolate as a self treatment.
I know that this won't stop me from eating chocolate, no way. If it makes me depressed it makes me depressed i enjoy the taste thats all im interesting in. I suppose breaking up with your boyfriend crying watching a sobby film and eating countless amounts of chocolate isn't the answer. Maybe it's making you even more depressed than what you already are?
Scientists are looking into this in more depth so hopefully soon we will find out for sure.
