Serotonin?: Not all women crave chocolate during their period or pre-menstrual period. I am postulating a possible reason. The chocolate (or other high fat or sweet foods) many ^ both endorphin & serotonin levels. This results in the woman feeling slightly better for a while. Another thought is that women can feel miserable at that time & chocolate is a comfort food.
