Ah, chocolate. Despite its bitter taste, we love it dearly. Perhaps this has something to do with the serotonin and dopamine released into our brains when we eat it. Chocolate has many psychoactive chemicals: sugar, caffeine, anandamide (the bliss chemical), tryptophan, and the favored symbol of chocolate: theobromine.

Theobromine is a mild stimulant related to caffeine that makes up about 2% of cacao beans. It’s thought to elevate mood. The name theobromine is derived from Greek words, meaning "food of the gods." I would have to agree.

I’m especially fond of chocolate mixed with spicy chili, the way the Mayans enjoyed it 2,600 years ago. For the health benefits from the flavonoids and antioxidants in chocolate, choose the darkest varieties. Yum!

This necklace is based on the shape of the theobromine molecules. The pendant is made from quality, recycled/reclaimed sterling silver, is 1.5 inches wide, and is attached to a sterling silver snake chain that can be adjusted for length between 16 to 18 inches. It closes with a lobster clasp.

Each is packaged in a recycled gift box and includes an informational tag about theobromine.

[Last photo is Tatianna, a microbiology major and current (cycle 14) contestant on the reality TV show America's Next Top Model, wearing her theobromine necklace. Go, Tatianna!]
