Does chocolate act as an aphrodisiac?
Maybe indirectly
The chemistry of love is extremely complex.
In the 16th century, chocolate was rich in herbs, which could lie at the root of the aphrodisiac effect (cinnamon, cloves, pepper, vanilla and aniseed). Today chocolate only contains sugar, cocoa paste, lecithin, vanilla and/or milk powder. The stimulating and uplifting role of caffeine and theobromine can only stimulate the development of intense sexual activity!
