Scientists prove 'dessert stomach' is real
64% Informative
Mice who ate until they were full could barely manage another bite when offered seconds of their main meal.
But they ate six times as many calories when offered a sugary treat instead.
Their brain lit up in an area called the paraventricular thalamus.
People given sugary drink displayed the same brain activity, involving a group of brain cells called POMC neurons.
A 100 g bar of dark chocolate gives you 2.4 mg of iron and 90mg of magnesium.
White chocolate contains no cocoa solids, just cocoa butter, and is relatively high in fat.
Despite its sugar content, chocolate is said to be less damaging to the teeth than many other sweets.
