> I think it's because of the PEA.i haven't found mention of significant amounts palmitoylethanolamide in chocolate.
whereas:
"In the recent study, Piomelli's group identified two anandamidelike compounds in chocolate -- which go by the unwieldy names of N-oleoylethanolamine and N-linoleoylethanolamine. At least in test-tube experiments, both delay anandamide's breakdown. Moreover, relative to the concentration of anandamide measured in chocolate, those of its chemical cousins proved relatively high."
from http://www.sciencenews.org/pages/sn_arch/10_12_96/food.htmalthough PEA may well be present in chocolate, none of the studies i've seen make any reference to it.
would you have a link to a study i have missed?
