I’ve always worked under the assumption that chocolate made you feel good and helped avoid depression. But it turns out this might not be the case.
Apparently there are two types of chocolate eaters – cravers and emotional eaters. If you’re a craver, the news is good. You think of chocolate like a good glass of wine. If you’re an emotional eater, the news is not so good, and you could well be sending yourself into a worse depression after eating chocolate.
This ABC article, says that you’d need to eat a ‘whole truckload’ of chocolate to get the equivalent of one antidepressant tablet.
Well okay then, if that’s what it’s gonna take! (I’m obviously a craver, not an emotional eater I guess.)

I’m definitely a craver. And when I don’t give in to my cravings, I become quite emotional.
I guess that means…chocolate always wins.
