What is this addiction
A person who is addicted to chocolate is called chocoholic. A chocoholic is a person
who craves chocolate. There is some medical evidence to support the existence of
actual addiction to chocolate. However, the term is mostly used loosely or
humorously to describe a person who is inordinately fond of chocolate.
The chocolate addiction happens mostly with women because they eat more
emotionally than men.
Why do people get addicted to it
The essential components of addiction are intense craving for something, loss of
control over the use of it, and continued use despite negative consequences. Studies
have shown that people can exhibit all three of these components in relation to food,
particularly food that contains sugar or fat. Since chocolate contains both, it is often
used in studies of food addiction.
