13. Actually, I think studies have shown they both release
some of the same brain chemicals. So, in effect, chocolate can give women an ecstacy or orgasmic effect.

For real. I don't have a link, but I'm telling I read it.

16. Yep. Here is a link to a BBC story on the subject:
Love drug?
Chocolate contains a natural 'love drug'. Tryptophan is a chemical that the brain uses to make a neurotransmitter called serotonin. High levels of serotonin can produce feelings of elation, even ecstasy - hence the name of the designer drug that also works by increasing serotonin levels.

Lust drug?
While tryptophan could be considered 'chocolate's ecstasy', another chemical called phenylethylamine has earned the nickname 'chocolate amphetamine.' High levels of this neurotransmitter help promote feelings of attraction, excitement, giddiness and apprehension. Phenylethylamine works by stimulating the brain's pleasure centres and reaches peak levels during orgasm.

18. mmmm partially hydrogenated cottonseed oil, artificially flavored and
artificially colored, palm seed oil laden sweet delish treats!

Ya know, nothing, absolutely nothing compares to eggs, sugar, flour, vanilla, water, baking powder and a nice, hot oven.

I'm perfecting the ultimate white cupcake these days.
