Luna- Posted May 3, 2010 Report Share Posted May 3, 2010 I kid you not. This was a real research study.From our own MentalHelp.net website:Depression Linked to Increased Chocolate ConsumptionMONDAY, April 26 (HealthDay News) -- People who are depressed really do appear to eat more chocolate than those who are not depressed, though it is unclear whether there is a causal link, according to a study in the April 26 issue of the Archives of Internal Medicine.Rest of article here.Well... um... duh.WE COULD HAVE TOLD THEM THAT.Chocolate has bona fide anti-depressant properties. Don't they think we've discovered that by now? We may be depressed but we're not stupid. Who funds this kind of research??? Must be Cadbury. Or Nestle.--As an aside: Regulatory bodies should really think about putting a black box warning on chocolate wrappers. It causes weight gain to rival that of atypical anti-psychotics (as well as some anti-depressants) and its side effects also include obesity, an increased risk of diabetes and an increase in serum cholesterol levels. It can be habit-forming. Death By Chocolate is a popular suicide method. As such it has proved ineffective, but this has not deterred mental patients who continue to make frequent attempts, despite previous failures.I'm on Efexor, Seroquel and Chocolate®. I'm not winning.
