Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Eating chocolate can cause a burst of acne.

Answer: False

There have been two separate studies--one by the Pennsylvania School of Medicine and another by the U.S. Naval Academy--that have proven that eating chocolate will not cause or aggravate already existing acne.
2. Chocolate has been proven to cause tooth decay.

Answer: False

Chocolate has not been proven to cause cavities or tooth decay. The cocoa butter in chocolate may actually help prevent plaque from forming on teeth. Chocolate does contain sugar, though, and sugar in any food does promote cavities.
3. Chocolate carries high levels of a chemical which may lower the risk of heart disease.

Answer: True

Chocolate, coffee, and tea all contain high levels of chemicals known as phenolics which may help lower the risk of heart disease.
4. Chocolate is high in saturated fat.

Answer: True

This, unfortunately, is true.
5. Chocolate contains more than 300 known chemicals.

Answer: True

Of these chemicals, caffeine is the most well known. While caffeine is present in chocolate, it is only present in small quantities. Chocolate also contains theobromine, which is a weak stimulant.
6. Chocolate makes us feel good because it is an amphetamine.

Answer: False

Phenylethylamine is found in chocolate and it is closely related to amphetamines. It is a combination of the caffeine, theobromine, and phenylethylamine, all of which are stimulants, that increase the activity of neurotransmitters in the brain, making us feel more alert. These stimulants can contribute to a temporary sense of well-being.
7. Can you actually "crave" chocolate?

Answer: Yes

Without going too deeply into it, the short answer is yes. Chocolate does contain pharmacologically active substances that have the same effect on the brain as marijuana.
8. The Swiss invented chocolate.

Answer: False

Chocolate was first brought to Europe by the Spanish (from the rainforests of the Amazon). In Europe it was initially served as a beverage. The Swiss did develop a number of processes that contributed to creating the solid form of chocolate.
9. At one time cocoa beans were the local currency in some parts of Central America.

Answer: True

This was back in in the days of Columbus.
10. Chocolate has been called an aphrodisiac. An aphrodisiac is a sexual enhancer.

Answer: Yes

Some people believe that chocolate is an aphrodisiac, although it hasn't been proven one way or the other.
