Just browsing newsites in the morning, drinking my coffee and eating a kitkat bar, when i come across this article:
Study: Chocolate and depression go hand in hand
Not my precious chocolate! and yeah, correlation does not imply causation, but i dunno, it kinda makes sense.
I mean, when i'm feeling down, i reach for chocolate and ice cream. Ps, the best chocolates are aero bars, qed
So yeah, brahs, how do you cope with feeling down? Lets throw ourselves a pity party!
Also, don't you love these alarmist news articles based on random studies?
Study: Chocolate and depression go hand in hand
Khiry's emotional relationship with chocolate isn't uncommon, new research suggests. According to a study published this week in the Archives of Internal Medicine, people who feel depressed eat about 55 percent more chocolate than their non-depressed peers. And the more depressed they feel, the more chocolate they tend to eat.
Although gorging on chocolate and sweets to beat the blues has become a cliché thanks to sitcoms and romantic comedies, there's been "little prior scientific literature linking chocolate and depression," says the lead author of the study, Dr. Beatrice Golomb, a professor of medicine at the University of California at San Diego School of Medicine. The study, she says, provides evidence to support "the popular perception that when people need a pick-me-up, they pick up chocolate."
It's unclear, however, whether depressed people eat more chocolate simply because they crave it, or whether chocolate consumption itself somehow contributes to a depressed mood.
In the study, Golomb and her colleagues surveyed more than 900 people about their weekly chocolate consumption and their overall diet. They also gauged the moods of the participants using a standard questionnaire used to screen for depression. (People who were taking antidepressants were excluded from the study.)
The men and women who were considered to be depressed ate 8.4 servings of chocolate per month, while their counterparts who weren't depressed consumed just 5.4 servings each month.
Study participants who scored higher on the depression scale ate even more chocolate, nearly 12 servings per month, the researchers found. (An average serving was defined as one small chocolate bar or one ounce of chocolate candy.)

I need chocolate.
It is the phenomenon associated with the absence of chocolate.
A chocolate vacuum, if you will.
people eating candy for comfort isn't new, right?
and they say it's unclear if chocolate causes depression so they aren't really saying anything?

what brand
I would like to eat this
No, not allergies. I get this stinging pain in my teeth after 5 m&ms, or two bites of a candy bar. It hurts like hell. I had to buy the special toothpaste just so I could get back to eating sweets again. In the meantime I've taken up hard drinking.
Schlitz!
that is the saddest thing
in a generic survey we did, we found that sad people eat more chocolate than happy people
therefore, chocolate causes depression
this is science guys
