I don't know. But I heard from a naturopath it has something to do with magnesium. All I know is that I've been clean since July 8th 2011 and I'm still fiending for chocolate like no one's business. Ah, to nod off inside a doorway with a chocolate bar in one hand. That'd be bliss.

By the way. I found out that Hot Chocolate mix stirred into vanilla yogurt is AMAZING!

Why do women crave chocolate when there on there period?

Us women crave on chocolate when they are on a certain time of their period because they are probably pregnant. Why did I say that ? Because women and some times little girls or teenagers like to crave on something in the sweetish family (like oreos , glazed donuts ,chocolate cake ,etc;) so when they have their baby the baby wont be pail or skinny it would weigh maybe 5 pounds or more. That is just me because i have lots of experience (I have 3 children not to pretty when i scarfed down that humongous chocolate glazed cake).


Why does sugar curb heroin addicts need for the drug?

Most addicts are found to be hypoglycemic. This condition may have existed before they started taking drugs. Basically all drugs addicts, whatever chemical they are using, are after serotonin, a chemical that the body produces from food sources and that makes them feel happy and content. Addicts have a problem producing serotonin, and when they withdraw from drugs they get depressed, anxious, irritable and will return to drugs. Alcoholics sometimes experience intense cravings for Chocolate, I guess its related. Regardless of hypoglycemia or whether sweets are particularly desirable when high on heroin, sugar absolutely does not curb the need for heroin!!!! Only opiates/opioids will fulfill a heroin addict, no matter how tasty they think sugar is, they will still be in withdrawl. Medically sugar dose nothing to suppress heroin withdrawl.
