IS CHOCOLATE A SIN?..
What Happens to Women when they eat it?  You Won't believe it!

Chocolate by far, is one of the best known of all the approved aphrodisiacs. With over 300 different chemicals including caffeine and phenylethylamine (PEA), a brain chemical that has a scientific biases that the refined bean indeed causes a physical arousal, the same feelings as when we are head over heals in love. Chocolate's effect has been compared to those of marijuana and amphetamines by some, an addiction.

Christopher Columbus first brought chocolate to Europe in 1502. Columbus discovered the beans were used to make a strong native beverage and also as a form of money among the Aztecs. However no one paid much attention to it because it was an acquired taste, with it's strong bitter flavor. It was not until 1519 and Cortes, with his conquest of Central America, and Mexico. To his surprise, the Aztec emperor believed Cortes to be the reincarnation of Quetzalcoatl, the Aztec God of air, light and life, and heaped riches upon the Spaniard in the form of cacao tree plantations, and he in turn scratched his head and brought it home to Spain.

One hundred beans could buy a slave and twelve a rabbit, 40 could buy a good woman. ( The catch was determining which one was good, and at what!). Cortes did make one major discovery in the evolution of the Love Bean.  Because there where no wines available, Cortes' men learned to drink their local beverage made from cacao or cocoa, called cocoatl.

In 1615, chocolat (sho-co-LAH) debuted at a fancy royal wedding in Bordeaux France, hence, it made its way to England. In 1662 a refined form of what we relish today, was introduced as chocolata. It wasn't until 1765, that chocolate was introduced to the US by an enterprising gentleman named, John Hanan. He, with the help of Dr. James Baker of Dorchester Massachusetts, refined the first of many millions of pounds of our favorite ...sin.

As men already know, it is women that find Chocolate almost irresistable...so why fight it, capitalize on their weakness....HA!
