A sweet taste “ to fall in love” Know the symptoms: Phenyl-ethyl-amine is a chemical that the brain produces when you fall in love. It steps up the heart rate and causes a happy, slightly dreamy feeling. Chocolate contains some amount of phenyl-ethyl-amine, which is considered a pseudoalkaloid. This may explain why we easily fall in love with chocolate or people that feed us chocolate. We conclude: chocolate appears as the less dangerous version of getting that feeling since it does not require a long commitment. Michael Liebowitz, author of the popular 1983 book The Chemistry of Love, remarked to reporters that "chocolate is loaded with PEA." This became the focus for an article in The New York Times, which was then taken up by the wire services and then by magazine free-lancers, evolving into the now-eponymous "chocolate theory of love
How does it work, e.g. “ to fall in love” Know the symptoms: (1)The initial giddiness when we're first falling in love includes a racing heart, flushed skin and sweaty palms. This seems to be due to the dopamine, norepinephrine & phenylethylamine release. (a)Dopamine is thought to be the "pleasure chemical," producing a feeling of bliss (b) Norepinephrine = adrenalin is causing the racing heart & excitement (c) Phenylethylamine functions as a neuromodulator in the mammalian central nervous system. There are many compounds derived from phenethylamine that include stimulants, psychedelics, and entactogens, as well as anorectics, bronchodilators, decongestants, and antidepressants, among others. Phenethylamine is soluble in water, ethanol, and ether. Similar to other low-molecular-weight amines, it has a fishy odor.
