Need an excuse to eat more chocolate?

Laurel gives you ten. Laurel also tells me why I like spicy food :

University of New York at Buffalo scientists found that capsaicin (hot-factor in chilis) triggers the pain receptors in your mouth,causing your brain to release endorphins and improve your mood.

It always kinda cracks me up that the headlines are just "More Chocolate!" - and it's not till the end of the article that they specifically say Dark chocolate (other than with de-emphasised use in the list of "reasons"), and make sure it's got no extra sugary bits, and certainly not white chocolate, and not milk chocolate either, and really, it should be as dark and choc-rich as possible.

I've never seen a headline that suggests more *dark* chocolate. I guess they've got to go for the generic term for the attempt at a surprise factor (if that's still possible for a headline that's recycled at least once a year :) ), because everyone "knows" that chocolate is unhealthy. Thing is, there's a good reason everyone "knows", cos it bloody is, the way it's usually eaten.
