Guest guest Posted January 9, 2003 Report Share Posted January 9, 2003 First of all, I would like to clarify the below misconception: since there has been no documented case of persons eating less than " tons " of chocolate, we can assume that each time one eats chocolate, the levels of seratonin will be affected! LOL Actually, the levels of various chemicals in your brain can be affected (positively and negatively) by a 15 min or more massage. Is your child ADHD? Give him a 15 min. massage before school and it will help his ability to track and " stuff " by raising the level of dopamine in his brain. This affect is noticed for hours... something else to think about! -dawn , The Stewarts <stews9@c...> wrote: > Yes, chocolate does affect serotonin levels, but you'd have to eat tons to > have major effects. > > Or chew cocoa leaves. > > > On Tuesday, January 7, 2003, at 01:16 PM, > wrote: > > > Here's another thought.
