Depressed people eat more chocolat.

Depressed people eat more chocolat. This is according to Experts of the California University, in a research published in the journal Archives of Internal Medicine that was based on a study of nearly 1,000 people, where they discussed their consumption habits.

The newspaper "Crónica Norte" reports that "in addition to reporting on how often they ate this product they also underwent a test to assess the mood of the participants through Depression Scale Center for Epidemiologic Studies. Finally, we found that those who "tested positive in the test ate more chocolate than those who tested negative." Thus, those who were "sad" ate 11.8 monthly rations ate, compared to 5.4 rations of the "happy." "Our study confirms the old suspicion under which people eat chocolate when they are depressed"".

The newspaper "El Mundo" adds that "the paper did not dare to advance a direct explanation of the potential benefit and / or need to eat chocolate during a depressive state. A previous study in Europe showed a proportional association between cocoa consumption and the rate of suicide but, once again, it is unknown why"
