In a study of more than 500 men and women, a University of Pennsylvania researcher found that 25% of all females crave chocolate just prior to and in the first few days of menstruation. The researchers speculate that this occurs for several reasons:
  • Hormonal changes. Levels of progesterone and estrogen are at their lowest during this time.
  • A relationship with the craving for sweets. Some research has shown that eating sweets and/or chocolate may relieve premenstrual depression.
  • Magnesium deficiency. Since chocolate is high in the mineral, women may be "self-medicating" with chocolate.
