Are you a chocolate lover? Scientists are 'surprised' by the latest discovery

Chocolate is a favorite dessert for many people

Are you also a chocolate lover, can you eat it without limit and wonder what is so irresistible about this delicacy?

Researchers from the University of Leeds in England say they have cracked the code of what makes chocolate so irresistible. They published their findings in the new study, published in ACS Applied Materials and Interfaces.

Researchers say that much of the craving depends on how the chocolate melts in your mouth, writes Healthline. They came to this conclusion after examining each mechanical step in the chocolate eating process.

Why does chocolate bring such pleasure?

The results of their study suggest that people like chocolate primarily because of the feel and texture of the fat content in its outermost layers, which break down in our mouths as we chew.

The pleasure we get from eating chocolate comes largely from the way our tongue and salivary glands interact with the chocolate's fat content.
