Study Links Chocolate and Depression
Men and women who eat more of the sweets are also likely to be depressed,
researchers find.

One need only look at the recent introduction of chocolate Cheerios to
fully grasp Americans' fondness for the pulp from cacao beans. Savoring
chocolate is normal.
But, researchers said Monday, overindulging in it could be a marker for
depression.
Researchers at UC San Diego and UC Davis examined chocolate consumption
and other dietary intake patterns among 931 men and women who were not
using antidepressants. The participants were also given a depression
screening test. Those who screened positive for possible depression
consumed an average of 8.4 servings of chocolate - defined as one ounce of
chocolate candy - per month. That compared with 5.4 servings per month
among people who were not depressed.
Those who scored highest on the mood tests, indicating possible major
depression, consumed an average of 11.8 servings per month. The findings
were similar among women and men.
When the researchers controlled for other dietary factors that could be
linked to mood - such as caffeine, fat and carbohydrate intake - they
found only chocolate consumption correlated with mood.
It's not clear how the two are linked, the authors wrote. It could be that
depression stimulates chocolate cravings as a form of self-treatment.
Chocolate prompts the release of certain chemicals in the brain, such as
dopamine, that produce feelings of pleasure.
