Chocolate causes certain endocrine glands to secrete hormones that affect your feelings and behavior by making you happy. It counteracts depression by reducing the stress of depression. Your stress-free life gives youthful disposition, physically and mentally. So, eat lots of chocolate! - Elaine Sherman, Book of Divine Indulgences
