Chocolate and the vampire
An amusing look into a connection that many might not see…


The Halloween season is here…time to buy extra candy to make sure you get your share, before the various masked children come a- knocking at the door screaming "trick or treat" (or "give me the damn candy", as it is in my area). Of all the treats which may line your Halloween basket throughout the years, the most fascinating is chocolate.

Oh chocolate, you are with me in my time of need. The feelings gained from a binge on chocolate are basically artificial substitutes for a regular feeding. There are several reasons for this… The way chocolate is made up, there are several chemicals inside it which cause chemical reactions in our brains. The most recognizable of which is the rise in serotonin (the feel-good hormone). What does a rush of serotonin feel like you might ask? Here's an example, or experiment if you will… eat as much chocolate as you are able to without making yourself vomit, and see how you're emotions become elevated, become more warm and fuzzy, and make you an all-around happy and loving person…

If you are anything like me, this type of feeling is unusual, and most times unexpected. Much like some vampires take in a lot of caffeine in order to artificially make up for the energy deficit in their bodies, the same can be true of chocolate. The feelings would be something that an empathic vampire would quite easily get an artificial rush from. Want more information about chocolate? Visit http://www.chocolate.org!
