The main ingredient in chocolate, cocoa is said to trigger the brain to release endorphins, the “feel good” hormones. The darker the chocolate the more endorphins as the more milk and sugar added, the less pure cocoa content.
We think that explains why the food is so popular a world day was established to mark the arrival of cacao in Europe on 7 July, 1550.
