And of course chocolate often sends a message of love, whether it's a gift-wrapped box for Mother's Day or a Valentine's present of heart-shaped truffles.
Chocolate, love and sex
French doctors prescribed chocolate to women patients for a broken heart.
Chocolate has long been associated with love. At one time, nuns were forbidden to eat it because of its sexual reputation. Casanova is believed to have thought of hot chocolate as the "elixir of love". And in the 18th century, French doctors prescribed chocolate to women patients for a broken heart.
Science may hold a clue - chocolate contains a substance called phenylethylamine(苯基胺), a naturally occurring chemical in the brain which promotes feelings of euphoria (愉悦)associated with being in love. It also contains a variety of other substances which may help create a feeling of well-being.
