How much comfort can you get from a chocolate bar?

Kinnari NAIK

Abstract


The purpose of this paper was to explore a hypothetical experiment to identify a correlation between the change in blood serotonin levels and mood in an individual after a fixed quantity of chocolate is ingested. Blood levels would be taken 0, 1 and 2 hours and expressed as nano-grams per millilitres (ng/ml) of serotonin. Mood changes would be assessed using the Bond-Lader Visual Analogue Scales.
