So my wife will often tell me she NEEDS chocolate during her period, that it provides vitamins that NO OTHER food or vitamin pill can provide. To be honest with you, I find this to be a crock, I don't think women NEED chocolate during that time, I think it is just an excuse??

Actually, chocolate is scientifically proven as a mood-elevator. It has a serotonin-like substance that creates feelings of happiness and relaxation; some think it also triggers release of dopamine, another neurotransmitter.
For women who have mood swings, crankiness or depression during their cycles, chocolate can provide a legal, not-too-unhealthy way to feel better. Give the woman some chocolate!

Being a woman, and also reading many different studies....I believe that it has health benifits as well as just being an excuse. Chocolate has antioxidants (it's proven) that help with hormone balance. I honestly am not sure if it makes a period better or worse depending on the person. But chocolate also tastes good (duh) so it is probobly also psycological that she "needs" chocolate. Be a good husband..get her chocolate (dark chocolate is best...if she asks for white....yeah right) Also as a good husband, remind her that chocolate is good in moderation.
good luck

For some reason I crave chocolate too and it is not an excuse. I do not agree with your wife when she mentions that it has vitamins. What it does for me is make me get pimples and adds more weight on.

Trust me. I've been through many periods already. Give her the chocolate. If you don't she will be very cranky and could even not \want to be with her anymore. Just be nice to her during that certain period of time. She will feel better.

look buddy, periods hurt really badly and u have NO idea how much it hurts and interferes with everday life! Chocolate is the most comforting food in the world. No, its not anything "scientific", but comforting things help conquer painful things! Be nice and soothe ur wife during these times, and no sex isn't soothing!
