I knew there was a scientific reason why I cannot resist chocolate!
According to new research, people who have daily chocolate cravings have a specific type of bacteria in their gut that sets your body up to crave chocolate. The study examined 22 different men (11 chocolate lovers and 11 non-chocolate lovers) and determined that the chocolate lovers have a different set of gut bacteria that the others do not. Apparently there are a lot of chocoholics in the world—the study took longer than expected because the researchers had a difficult time finding 11 men who did not like chocolate!

Of course, this doesn’t mean I can throw myself head first into that Halloween pumpkin full of candy.
I am still sticking to my no candy promise as made over at Petroville.
Have you made the pledge yet?

I’m sticking to my guns. I even picked up an m&m off the floor yesterday and did NOT eat it. Nope. Haven’t cheated yet
You know, that candy picture sure resembles my favorite chocolate bar: Cadbury……
Now I want some! lol
Oohhh, I wonder if they did this study on women if they would be able to find 11 women without a love for chocolate!
No, I have not made the pledge, but I have not had any candy yet…That’s good, right?
That’s GREAT Nap Warden! Keep up the resistance!!
Cindy, good question…I don’t think they could!
