Women, food, and mood

Article Abstract:

There is no clear scientific data to explain the perceived connection between food intake and mood. Scientists have observed healthy women consume significantly more calories in their premenstrual phase than at other times. The food they primarily crave is chocolate. Various theories that attempt to explain the effects of chocolate on mood are not proven, although it has been shown the sensory aspects of chocolate are at least as important as the nutritional ones for providing satisfaction.
