We've been hearing for sometime that chocolate is an antidote to depression. But now some solid research has been done - and the results are unexpected.
Researchers asked more than 900 adults from San Diego about their chocolate eating habits, then used a standard scale to measure the subject's symptoms of depression. The data found that those who rated highest on the depression scale also consumed more chocolate - an average of almost 12 servings/month. In other words, eating more chocolate seems to be linked to being more depressed.
While chocolate may make people depressed, it's also possible that depressed people crave it more because it improves their moods - and have learned to "self-treat".
I don't care what they say I am eating as much chocolate as I can, how about you?
