Generally I’m not a big fast food
fan (I need my rice! Haha), but whenever I need a quick sweet fix, I take out
RM4.20 from my pocket and this, is what I get….! *big-grin*

Oh the normal price for a McD
sundae is RM3.20 but they charge RM1 for extra chocolate fudge. Haha.. I dunno
about you, but ice-cream and chocolate always makes me happy! Hehe. Did you
know that chocolate contains more than 300 chemicals, and has been the subject
of a number of studies by universities and other scientific organizations?
Check out these observations on some of the substances found in chocolate
(which obviously gives me the excuse to indulge MORE on this God-given glorious
food *laugh*):

• Cacao, the source of chocolate, contains
  antibacterial agents that fight tooth decay. Of course, this is
  counteracted by the high sugar content of milk chocolate
• The smell of chocolate may increase theta brain
  waves, resulting in relaxation.
• Chocolate contains phenyl ethylamine, a mild mood
  elevator
• The cocoa butter in chocolate contains oleic acid,
  a mono-unsaturated fat which may raise good cholesterol
• Drinking a cup of hot chocolate before meals may
  actually diminish appetite
• Men who eat chocolate live a year longer than those
  who don’t
• The flavanoids in chocolate may help keep blood
  vessels elastic
• Chocolate increases antioxidant levels in the blood
• Mexican healers use chocolate to treat bronchitis
  and insect bites
• The carbohydrates in chocolate raise serotonin
  levels in the brain, resulting in a sense of well-being.

Now what about ice-creams? Hehe…  Well, interestingly enough, research has shown
that ice cream is a good source of calcium and that in general, less expensive
ice cream has less fat.
