Are you a coffee drinker? I'm guessing no.
Chocolate contains stimulants theobromine and caffeine. I am not a coffee drinker, nor regular consumer any other stimulant, making me rather sensitive to the effects. If I eat chocolate, particularly dark chocolate, I reliably experience a mild stimulant high.
There's not really a difference between foods containing these molecules and oral drugs containing the same molecules.
- AnimalMuppet 9y agoCoffee, no. Pepsi, yes (in limited quantities), which at least gives me the caffeine (don't know about the theobromine). And sure, chocolate gives a bit of a stimulant high. That's part of why we like it. This is something else. It unfortunately comes with certain kinds of chocolate.
- AstralStorm 9y agoTheobromine is vasoactive. The small circulation blood pressure reduction is enough to be felt. IT is not known to be a headache trigger though, but there are known sensitive individuals.
