Help me! chocolatey goodness is killing me?

Question

oh that yummy, scrumpsious, chocolate. I just can't resist it. I can't stop eating it. when I run out of, it's not long before I crave it.
Is chocolate addicting? I mean is there something in it that makes you crave it? some checmical?

Answer 1

chocolate releases seratonin in the brain. just like prozac it has feel good chemicals in it, so it's not surprising it seems addicting!

Answer 2

Yes chocolate is addicting. It releases a chemical in the brain that makes you get high. Some people substitute chocolate, or anything containg sugar when they try to stop drinking, because it gives them the same high feeling. My husband was an alcoholic and went into the hospital to stop drinking. They told him not to substitute sugar in place of alcohol. I too love anything chocolate. I will get up in the middle of the night and sit on the couch eating chocolate candy or ice cream. Then I sleep like a baby.

Answer 3

I love chocolate too and I crave it often but I don't think its addictive say like cigarettes or drugs. Some say that the cocoa bean is addictive. In the grocery store I can usually walk right past the chocolate -- then I go back and get a package of milk chocolate bars -- like hersheys.

Definitions of chocolate addiction and its potential relationship to dieting and problem eating were investigated in 50 individuals who identified themselves as "chocoholics". Respondents were interviewed and completed a battery of questionnaires on food cravings, eating, weight, dieting and depression. On average this sample consumed about 12 (60-g) bars of chocolate per week and craved chocolate about six times per week. Cravings and amount consumed were not significantly related but amount consumed was significantly correlated with disinhibition (r = 0.3). Most (76%) respondents had definitions of chocolate addiction that centred on a lack of control around chocolate and regarded the "addictive" factor in chocolate as orosensory (i.e. taste, smell, texture). Unlike most others, dieters and secret eaters experienced negative affect following consumption of chocolate. Consumers who preferred to eat in secret reported a higher degree of aberrant eating. The extent to which the behaviour of "chocolate addicts" resembles that of eating disordered individuals and other addictions remains to be clarified.
