Which sets the heart a-fluttering more: Chocolate or a kiss?
Sep 19th 2007 by Martha Edwards

What excites you more -- chocolate or a passionate kiss? It's a purely subjective matter but technically speaking, the correct answer is chocolate. Here's what happens when you eat chocolate:

• The ingredients in chocolate trigger the release of serotonin and endorphins, which leads to a feeling of euphoria
• Theobromine and caffeine stimulate thought in the brain
• Your blood pressure and heart rate go up
• A chemical called anandamide triggers pleasure centers in the brain
