Scientifically ... Do women like chocolate more than men?

Maybe i don't know but Do all women like chocolate? A quasi-intuitive question is not worth thinking about! This is the typical romantic gift for which millions of dollars are spent - as one American study put it - for example, to give to their wives as a symbol of love and affection, as a gift that women can not resist. Chocolate, a relationship that always raises the chocolate market and jumps in value and popularity.

What is the scientific truth behind chocolate "feminine food" which - as they say - affects women's hormones, improves her mood and brings her happiness and so on?

At first ... Hormones are innocent!

Let me tell you that the research conducted between women and men resulted in mixed results, in the sense that none of them showed any hormonal relationship or cause for women to love chocolate, and the desire for chocolate did not decrease much in women after menopause!

As for the association of chocolate with menstruation in women or pregnancy, it also has nothing to do with female hormones specifically, but in the periods of hormonal changes in the body of the female less the proportion of serotonin in the brain, serotonin is the "hormones of happiness" as they call them, For improved mood, chocolate is a way to raise the proportion of serotonin that is affected by most brain cells related to mood, lust, temperature regulation and others.

It is also worth noting that the effect of chocolate on the brain is not direct, it is a psychological effect produced by its wonderful texture, taste and smell, the unique combination that made eating as an emotional experience stimulates and elevates centers of improving mood in the brain!
By mentioning passion, the association of chocolate with love or calling it "love drugs" is a true name and not a mistake! It is due to the fact that it contains a proportion of "vinyl methylamine," the same chemical produced by the brain when feeling love or emotion.

If not hormones, then what?

Chocolate is the most famous for women in America, while Japanese women prefer rice and sushi for example! In short, genes may affect our taste of food to a certain extent, but our dietary preferences remain formed by our environment!

The truth of the matter is simply that it is nothing more than a culture that began in America and was traded until it spread. Of course, advertising is the lion's share of that culture. Chocolate advertisements are mostly targeted at women or marketed correctly to women as a way of dealing with negative emotions and stress.

The fundamental question ... useful or harmful?

There is a lot of talk and a lot of gossip and a lot of research and studies on the health benefits of chocolate, in general the most important benefits that we hear about a lot is the contain a high percentage of antioxidants (especially flavanol), specifically dark chocolate and this is true, taking into account that the process of fermentation and drying cocoa beans In order to turn it into a chocolate that destroys most of the original flavanols content. Flavanols give the taste a bit of bitterness, so it is low in milk chocolate and almost non-existent in white chocolate. Satisfied with the heart and blood vessels.
Also contain high sugar, sometimes the cravings in chocolate are the result of low blood sugar, they are a blow of sugar to get fast energy, except for dark chocolate they are low in sugar level and help to stabilize the blood sugar level safely.

In sum, chocolate is the best female secret, and although we invented the reasons to eat it without feeling guilty, we still like or not to mix fat and high calories.

The passion of women's chocolates is nothing but an acquired behavior to respond to body pressure. For women, it is a culturally enhanced way to bring happiness! Men, because of their coffee, cigarettes and energy drinks, have become accustomed to things that improve mood, so they are not as affected by chocolate as women.

As for its benefits, I was not sure it was healthy, but in any case delicious!
