At certain times in the month, us women become deficient in certain nutrients like zinc, Manganese and Magnesium. Chocolate has this, along with other feel good qualities. I read somewhere that Chocolate can be an aphrodisiac, so if your girlfriend is eating lots of chocolate then she must like you!!!!
from Web;
Depending on the recipe 100g Dark Chocolate can contain:
Vitamin B1 7% RDA
Vitamin B2 12-25% RDA
Vitamin B3 1-6% RDA
Vitamin B5 8-11% RDA
Vitamin B11 7-8% RDA
Vitamin B1 0-100 % RDA
Magnesium 6-60% RDA
Copper 0-60 % RDA
Iron 2-35% RDA
Phosphorus 25-35% RDA
Zinc 7-17% RDA
Manganese 0-100% RDA

There is a chemical in chocolate that causes the "i'm in love" feeling. I forget what it is called right off the top of my head, but you can look up chocolate in wikipedia and find it. Also, women crave chocolate because of hormonal inbalances (aka that time of the month).

I do medical research. I don't believe in creams or other useless products like gels or lotions. Cellulite is not a skin problem, it's an underlying structural issue. Check out this site www.youtips.info/r/rd.asp?gid=539
It has a lot of useful tips about natural remedies to treat cellulite.

i cant say for anyone else, but for me i deffinately get a "high" of sorts out of it. More than just a sugar rush. Medically speaking, it does release endorphines which make us feel good. I think women must be more sensitive to this than men because you dont see men behaving this way about chocolate.

i dont eat chocolate, i've been labelled weird, and yes, i am definitely a woman.
i gave it up when i was addicted to it over 15 years ago. i gave it up because i felt as a christian, why the ^&*( am i so obsessed with this stuff? it gave me pimples and i valued my appearance more.
Chocolate is bad cause it takes roughly a month to work through the system, because its so refined, it is said to promote cellulite (of which i have very very little indeed, in fact, my husband said, one is quite hard pressed to find it on my body, and no, i'm not thin, i'm average).
Just like lots of bad things, it looks good on the outside and has the temporary effect of satisfying sexual cravings (perhaps i'm not wording it correctly, but i read its got something to do with being akin to getting an orgasm of some sort...?). My husband cant live without it...i know many men who claim they'd rather die than do without chocolate...see how i got worried about eating it??

Because its just wonderful stuff! And now for the science bit... its full of happy releasing hormones called serotonin!
Also chocolate never tells us that our bum looks big in that! =]
