British researchers say they are stunned to discover people get more of a buzz from eating chocolate than passionately kissing their lovers.
"These results really surprised and intrigued us," psychologist Dr David Lewis said after leading a study that recorded brain activity and heart rate from volunteers who tasted pieces of dark chocolate or kissed their partners.

“British researchers say they are stunned to discover people get more of a buzz from eating chocolate than passionately kissing their lovers.”

Cradle of Chocolate?Digging through history to a time before agriculture, archaeologists from Cornell University and the University of California at Berkeley have found evidence of a village that was continuously occupied from 2000 B.C. to A.D. 1000 as well as hints to the secret of the community's remarkable longevity.

"My guess is, it all comes down to chocolate," says John S. Henderson, professor of anthropology at Cornell and co-director, together with Rosemary Joyce of Berkeley, of the archaeological dig at Puerto Escondido, Honduras. The type of ceremonial pottery uncovered by the archaeologists points to that region of Mesoamerica as a possible "Cradle of Chocolate."
A-DUUUUUH!
Who gets a ‘buzz’ from kissing, anyway? Other than kissing someone who dips?
Ewwwwwww! Reminds me of high school where all the drinking fountains contained chew.....
