We all tend to feel a bit naughty when indulging in chocolate so it's good to remember that chocolate (especially the dark stuff) contains three mood affecting substances - theobromine, caffeine and phenylethylamine. In other words, a couple of squares a day might help beat off the Winter blues. German researchers have also found that compounds in chocolate increase levels of dopamine which may help people suffering from Parkinson's Disease. Globehuggers.com features the Chokolit Biting Back Bar that donates 10p per bar to saving Orangutans. It's palm oil free and is the brain child of local chocolatier, Louis Barnett! It might just be time to indulge!
