Just eh Queen and Chocolate


Introduced in the 1500s in France, Marie Therese the queen loved chocolate. So much so, that by age 20, she had lost all her teeth! Now the King had his servants and the Queen had hers. Among the men who served the Queen was an African American. Hushed rumors flew that the Queen was having a torrid affair with her man-servant, boy-toy. When she ended pregnant and had a very dark skinned , those people who did not like the Queen said the was a result of the torrid affair. “Nonsense,” said the Queen’s supporters. The had a very dark skin simply because Queen Marie ate so much chocolate. True stories are so much more interesting than fiction, don’t you think?

Yes, it is a true story. And there is more to it. She was ugly. She had a huge nose, misshapen face and pock marked. One reason she was supported by those who said she had the dark skinned baby because she ate chocolate was that she spent a couple hours a day in the chapel praying with her mother-in-law. She was considered "very pious."

The Catholic Church had to deal with the issue of chocolate because it was rumored to be an aphrodesiac. Eventually the church decided to allow it (actually the Cardinal began to drink chocolate every day --- hmmmmm) and they allowed wine at the same time.

What is even more interesting: there was recently a documentary on Discovery Channel where they connected probes to couples brains and tested to see what response there was to kissing versus chocolate. Guess what? chocolate was a greater turn on than kissing!! Maybe it is an aphrodesiac!!
