Why chocolate is the food of love Tests on mice show how it stimulates the libido KRISTA FOSS Health Reporter Friday, February 11, 2000 Whether you're a man or a mouse, you might want to stock up on extra chocolate this Valentine's Day. Chocolate stimulates the production of dopamine, and according to a new study of mice and rats, dopamine kick-starts a messenger chemical in the brain that activates hormones that make females interested in sex. The research, published in the journal Science today, suggests the same process may work in human beings. It could pave the way for new drugs that rev up the libidos of women by tweaking their brain chemistry instead of their hormone levels. |
