chocolate for breakfast, chocolate for snacks

[cimorene]

Dark chocolate is too bitter for me, but when I have my period I... apparently like it. Or maybe crave it. Wax says the chocolate part - which is a higher percentage in dark chocolate, of course - actually suppresses (oxy-something?) and therefore reduces the cramps themselves, so maybe that explains it. Whatever, it's weird. And eating slabs of dark Fazer for breakfast feels kind of odd.

Chocolate actually stimulates the release of oxytocin, which is the hormone associated with childbirth, orgasms, and symp/empathy.
