Chocolate Every Day

And I am still losing weight!

 I love chocolate. I think many of us do love chocolate, and because of what happens inside our bodies when we eat chocolate, we can actually justify explain scientifically our passion. It has to do with serotonin. Now this article is not going to be about serotonin, so don’t get all glazed over yet!
