CHOCOLATE

How many of us will receive or eat lots of chocolate this Christmas?
Chocolate is the ideal present for anyone you are unsure what to buy for a present. Nearly everyone eats/ likes chocolate. may be its not the most inspired present but usualy very acceptable.
Chocolate was first loved by the civilisations of central America, where cocoa trees grow wild in the tropical rainforests
The Spanish first brought cocoa to Europe. They took it to Spain in 1528..
In England in Victorian times in Victorian times a solid chocolate bar was devised previously chocolate was only for drinking. The first solid bar was sold by Fry and sons in 1847.
Nowadays chocolate is incorporated into many products biscuits ,puddings ,drinks ,cake, sauce ice cream and many more. Easily melted to make your own concoctions

Since then there has been numerous manufacturers of this glorious substance.
There are so many varieties of chocolate sweets every one has thier favorite. too many for me to list here
Chocolate drink is good on a winters eve, warming afer coming in from the cold.

Now is it a health risk or a benefit? It certainly makes me feel good.

Causes obesity! People are piggish and eat too much.
Causes Tooth decay, again eat too much and the sugar will get your teeth.
Causes high cholesterol levels.

Chocolate makes you feel good picks me up after a rough day with the kid?s
Chocolate is an antidepressant and an aphrodisiac, may be that?s why men are always buying me chocolate!
Chocolate contains high levels of antioxidant phenolics which some say help lower risk of heart disease.

I personally prefer dark, plain chocolate. Do not like white very much.
Just had a memory flash of going to the village shop as a child and buying 6d(that?s 2 1/2p) bar of Cadburys dairy milk with my pocket money

I found a good site for information www.exploraloram.edu/exploring/exploring
-chocolate-8html.
Its no good I must stop writing/thinking about chocolate before I want to go and eat some.It is rumoured that it is like heroin once you have tried it it is addictive..

Thanks for reading Mary
