I love how the reporter puts it.

Mars Inc., which makes M&Ms, did not help sponsor the research although it donated 125 pounds of almond M&Ms to Chaikin, Princeton said in a statement.

Interesting - guess we'll need to start doing strange things to our scientist friends to help them with new ideas :)

How about sending this guy some triangular shaped candies instead? Or maybe drench the guy with molten cholocate (if he is a aerodynamic physicist)?


On a different note, can I ask if any bio experts out there tell me what's so special about the stem cell cloning that the Koreans have recently achieved lately? Aren't we already doing that for years?

While I'm not a huge fan of chocolate, I loved reading that story. Funny how it's good to be obsessed about certain things sometimes.

I'm pretty sure people in research have to be compulsive and obsessive to a point, otherwise they'd never be able to get their stuff done!

According to experts eating chocolate can help one to concentrate and lower one's chances to get heart attack....wonder how true is that? Anyone tried it or can give some opinion? Of course excessive cunsumption will lead to obesity....hehe, for girls who are watching their weights, chocolate definitely is "OUT" of their lists of food.... :roll:

I think i've come across a few articles proclaiming that chocs are good for our hearts. I think it's true but i'm not very sure of the validity of the researches. But as a ardent fan of chocs ... i'd say that chocs do contribute to our emotional well-being. you know, like when you're having one of those bad days (stinky boyfriends/girlfriends, deaths of pets etc), choc therapy is highly recommended. just make sure to always have plenty of chocs in your fridge :) . i dont think chocs make you gain that much weight...i've been stuffing my face with chocs since birth and i'm still alive and can still sit comfortably in a Kancil. there are such things as 'gym' and ' exercise' you know! those spare tyres on your stomach must have come from elsewhere hehehehe...

[littlebigone]

No you're all wrong. Long time ago, a tribe in South America found beans that became what today is called chocolate. However, when the evil white people came to take away their lands, they put a curse on the beans.

"Cursed shall these beans be.
Stong their temptation,
Innocent sweetness their weopon
As one they enter, as ten they stay
If you cannot look away, then you shall pay!!!
Cursed shall these beans be. "

Hence, people nowadays are easily addicted to evil chocolates that are definitely bad for your health. It's a scientific and historical fact.

i think eat in small portion should be fine, but if excessive cunsimption definitely will do you no good...it applies to anything...whatever it is, either food or doing something, if too indulge in it, or eat any food gluttonly..definitely will have negative effects :wink:

[trishotiwuth]

Oh yes of course you can stuff your face with chocs...didn't you just love doing that when you were a kid? :wink: hehehehe...and one tip for chocolate-worshipping girls: if you don't want the pimples to start launching a carnival on your face, drink lots of water. it helps to wash out toxic from our bodies. remember, more chocs, more H20!

It is often said that the most commonly craved food in the world is chocolate. Some people even believe that they have such strong desires for chocolate that they couldn't live without it.

Yeah, i agree with this. The only thing that stops me from chocolate is either by looking into my wallet or at the mirror...

[PeiWen]

mm...it comes to my mind that, most people prefer the original taste of chocolate or white chocolate? Some even prefer with the hazelnuts or walnuts in it, while some prefer just the plain chocolate itself....As for my cousin, I know she'll only eat plain chocolate, and she loves white chocolate. Worse still, if the chocolate with whatever nuts in it, she'll spit it out later after she finishes the chocolate itself. And.....she'll only eat chocolate from Swiss.....

[__earth]

And.....she'll only eat chocolate from Swiss.....

there is no such thing as chocolate from swiss. of course, this is purely grammatical in nature.

you should've said "chocolate from switzerland" or "chocolate made by the swiss".

and i love chocolate. any chocolate will do. :D

[PeiWen]

Oooppsss..sorry for that terrible mistake....thanks _earth.. 8)

[b_ronick]

C-H-O-C-O-L-A-T-E

OOoooOOOO..be it white or milk or dark...
i like 'em all!!! :D :!: :D
but only the plain ones..
yummy..thinking of them makes me craving for chocs!!mmm..

[b_ronick]

hmm...talking bout chocs, my friend did her persuasive speech about chocolate. said that chocs can only be eaten twice a month and that everytime you eat, you can only eat half a bar....well....i hope the bar is one-metre long... :lol: :P :wink: haha....yes! i lurve chocolate...but i thought i heard from somewhere that chocs can cause fever bcoz it's too heaty...correct? :? :oops:

dunno!!but i still LOOOOOOVVVVVVEEEE it!!!!!!

If I am not mistaken, scientific research prove that what you say is just a myth. 8O

But in the real life, whenever I eat too much chocolate, I will have the side effect that you say. Besides, pimples will grow more on my face. So, I will try not to take chocolate although it is very tempting... I really hate controlling not to take chocolate.. :P

[PeiWen]

as for me..i don't have crave for chocolate or fetish on it....however, occasionally i do eat chocolate to satisfy my palate for sweetness. Personally, i prefer chocolate with walnuts or almond or hazelnuts, just whatever huts..haha....maybe besides creamy and sweet, add with something crunchy will be perfect! :wink:

[oshmelvin]

Chocolates are healthy food and it has been found that people who eat pure chocolates (the dark ones) every day, they tend to live longer than people who don't. It could be due to the nature of chocolates which are rich in anti-oxidants (flavanoids). Besides that, chocolate does cause a kind of addiction which is probably due to the fast release of sugar into our bloodstream which normally gives us (our cells) a boost of energy (that's why we crave it, for the energy which is interpreted by our brain as chocolate!). Also, the sweet tooth that one has for chocolate might lead to a happier life. It has been proven that sweet stuff such as chocolate makes a person feel good (which makes almost everyone who eats chocolates a good mood!) which is then probably due to the fast release of sugar too! Chocolates originally originated from the aztecs i think (read it once). It was used as an offering to their gods. :D And we are the modern age gods of chocolates.

[kfyh2]

godiva is to die for. despite being ridiculously expensive.
leonidas is a cheaper alternative and yet still good!
thornton's just about made it up there,
and cadbury is almost rubbish.
and there's no hersheys in the uk! (apart from that store in Selfridges)

fyi trivial and useless fact:
the EU's requirement of something that can qualify to be sold as 'chocolate' has to have 25% of cocoa solids.

UK Cadbury chocs can't be sold in the EU market because it only contains 20%. It would have to be labelled as 'chocolate-flavoured candy'.

i thought it is becos chocs stimulates the brain to produce more endorphins(hormone).... (which is usually released when we are happy)... that's why we r happy?.... sorry if i were wrong... :oops:
