Unknown Facts about Chocolate

OK, if you asked someone right now what their favorite sweet, high-caloried item is, I'm sure that chocolate would be near the top of their list. Well, this post will tell you all about chocolate, and don't worry. These facts are good facts. Not ones that make you depressed! (Well, it shouldn't, but if it does, sorry.)


  • Chocolate is acually and energy source. One chocolate chip is enough energy for an adult to walk 150 feet!

  • Chocolate has great health benefits. Chocolate contains over 300 chemicals, and some of them are found in anti-depressants. Chocolate makes you feel better... or, not depressed. So now it makes sense why in movies when their Boyfriend breaks up with them, they are eating a big tub of chocolate! It also helps with tumors and high blood pressure.

  • People spend more that $7 billion George Washington's a year on chocolate.

  • Most people eat 12 pounds of chocolate a year!

  • Milk chocolate is the most preferred kind, but Dark chocolate is popular among men.

  • Prior to popular belief, chocolate does NOT cause acne. Its a myth.

  • Another myth: chocolate does not cause headaches. Headaches are caused by stress, hunger, irregular sleep patterns, and hormone changes. 
         Pretty interesting, huh? I think its so cool that chocolate makes you feel better!
With Love and Spice,
