Wanna eat flawless and perfect chocolate?

Everyone loves chocolate. I don't know anyone except those with allergy problems who could with a light heart say: ''I hate chocolate.'' Known as the sweet which makes people fat but also as a medicament which can have beneficial effect, chocolate is with no doubt one of the most popular sweets in the world.

Scientists have concluded that the chocolate is healthy and have positive impact on one
's neural network mainly due to the number of theobromines, phenylethylamines and  flavonoids in it.

                                                   theobromine

                                               types of flavonoids

Chocolate is also known as a stress-releasing medium or aphrodisiac. Moreover, chocolate is said to have salutary effect to one's coronary system as much as a alleviator of coughing. The list of it's effect would be really long. Ultimately, along with its sweet taste that's all why chocolate is sooo popular.

Recently, scientists made an interesting discovery. They have deciphered chocolate's genom. 

Company Mars, maker of M&M and Snickers, dedicated $10 million to this goal two years ago. Teaming up with the U.S. Department of Agriculture and tech giant IBM, the confectioner announced earlier this month that it had cracked more than 92 percent of the genome. Their work is available for free at the Cacao Genome Database, a clearinghouse set up by Mars to aid chocolate research. This work is similar to studies conducted at Pennsylvania State University.

Now after scientists deciphered most of the chocolate genom they can continue the work to manipulate the genes. Options include creating a strain resistant to "witches’ broom," a fungal infection that The New York Times says devastated Brazil's cocoa crop.

 It is believed that this discovery can lead to even more tastier and healthier chocolate! Moreover it could lower the cost of chocolate.

I look forward to artificial,cheap and tasty chocolate! Flawless like anything from a factory :-)

Every chocolate lover must now read more newspapers and look more carefully in shops in some time :-)
