    Chocolate is interesting stuff. The chemical name for its active ingredient is theobromine, which is Greek for ‘food of the gods’. Originally chocolate was only served to the Aztec emperor and in his inner court. There is was served piping hot with chilies.
    Chocolate also contains gonadotropins - that is, *** hormones (or perhaps more accurately, they mimic human *** hormones).
