Sure, we all know that chocolate is good. Duh. But did you know that it's good for your libido?

The best thing to come out of Italy since ravioli is a study by Italian researchers who determined that women who ate more chocolate had the highest levels of desire and arousal. The study actually recommended that women consume a daily dose of chocolate, in order to set themselves up for great lovin’. Of course, no one is saying you should scarf a whole cake in one sitting -- more like one square of the best Swiss chocolate money can buy. In even better news, a British study found that the same cannot be said for men. So (for once)  there's absolutely no pressure to share.
