Chocolate, Water Alleviate Pain

Chocolate not only tastes good, but it also apparently activates the part of the brain that blunts pain and makes it difficult to stop eating, according to a study published Wednesday in the Journal of Neuroscience.

But a much leaner choice has the same effect, drinking water, say University of Chicago neurology professor Peggy Mason and neurobiology research associate Hayley Foo.

Mason and Foo gave rats either a chocolate chip to eat or water to drink as they lit a light bulb underneath their cages, when they ate chocolate or drank water, their pain response to the heat was dulled and they did not lift their paws as quickly.
