Pregnant Women + Chocolate = Happy Babies

A study states that pregnant women eating chocolate daily had babies that were more active and react positively – such as smiling and laughing. Also these same babies showed less fear to new situations.

The effects that were observed could have been a result from the chemicals in chocolate; that are associated with positive mood; being passed from mom to baby.

Some are skeptical that while chocolate can stimulate the release of "the happy hormone" it is unlikely that this could affect the baby.

There is a warning for pregnant women, against over-indulging in chocolate. The study does prove a little chocolate can be a good thing, for all.
