The value of chocolate
It owes its bitterness to the alkaloids present in it, such as theobromine. It is also a source of minerals, including magnesium, zinc and copper. There are many better sources of magnesium, such as groats or nuts, but its beneficial effect on the nervous system in chocolate is enhanced by phenylethylamine. It makes you feel better and makes you feel happy. You can read more about the effects of chocolate on health in ‘Dark chocolate on health’.
