Chinese, Indian, New Zealanders, Cuban ... regardless of race, geographical latitude where they live or the religion they profess are attracted to the chocolate. Most can be argued to be due to its delicious aroma and flavor, but it influences certain chemical elements.

 Chocolate has many components, among these stand out for its high concentration, phenylethylamine, (660 milligrams per 100 grams of chocolate) stimulant akin to dopamine - a nerve signal transmitter, and a hormone which 've heard in more than one occasion, the adrenaline.
The latter produces an increase in blood pressure and heart rate, while often causes a pleasurable sensation.
Another compound present in the so-called food of the gods is the afenitilamina, whose structure is similar to amphetamines. According to some researchers, causes certain sensations psychostimulants and antidepressants. That may be the reason why is considered a good food when people feel discouraged.
What's more, chocolate also contains compounds that cause similar stimuli to coffee and tea.Recall that has methylxanthine, theobromine and theophylline, chemicals structurally similar to caffeine.

It is known that excessive consumption may hamper a peaceful night's sleep, the same way, the three aforementioned substances in large quantities can cause nausea and vomiting
Its delicious flavor, aroma distinctive, exciting and antidepressant effects, could explain why we like so much chocolate, drink in the heyday of the Aztec empire was considered a food of great value and could only be taken by the nobles and warriors .
In the market of Tlatelolco, the ancient Aztec empire, barter was practiced by other articles about some products but also functioned as currency. The most used was that the cocoa was grown in specific regions and production was controlled by the government.
If it was low-value items, cocoa beans was counted by, but if they were valuable xiquipiles be resorted to, bags of eight thousand grains.
Recent research suggests that consuming chocolate man for 2,600 years.

Butterflies: Life and types of butterflies

Butterflies are a few great artists of survival and deceit. After its spectacular colors, shapes, and types of butterflies hide unsuspected talents: resistance to cold and altitude, to confuse or scare resources to the enemy, flight speed ... Thousand weapons of survival for some insects fragile in appearance only.


Nothing to leave behind the first corner of the large stone staircase, crying becomes a background noise: 5,000 students drop out late in the afternoon the grounds of the University of St. Gabriel, in Bangkok. A couple of steps up, in a wing of the Catholic institution, museum silence around us. Then you can access a seminar with wood paneled walls and a moth plague poison absolutely disgusting.

Karel Cerny, Czech Austrian roots, is an expert in butterflies. It's been here for hours, days and weeks classifying lepidopteran insects with great speed and accuracy. The university is a mausoleum of thousands of tropical butterflies. On the walls lie more than 4,000 species, the largest collection of Thailand, prepared and skewered on pins and protected by paradiclorovenceno pellets (poison against moths). Karel Cerny this institution has come to talk with the brother Amnuay Pinratana. The priest, a former school principal, 77, is the author of an anthology of several volumes on Thai butterflies and moths. Both have to discuss the family Arctiidae, which will be the protagonists of a new volume. Cerny he plans to do field work later, to further investigate them.


The Arctiidae are mostly nocturnal, like most butterflies, only between ten and twenty percent of these lepidopteran engaged during the day foraging or mating. Individuals of that family are called "woolly bears" because of strong hair, almost like thorns, which they use to protect themselves from predators. Cerny adores. Are capable of anything and fit like no other family to the most extreme climates, from the Sahel to Lapland, from the dry grass of the rainforest, the high mountains to coastal land.

These lepidopteran come to establish relationships with different food plants, even poisonous, to be better prepared against enemies. They have the ability, for example, to issue that bother clicking nocturnal hunters such as bats, are irritating to the ultrasound system, or perhaps they remember the taste of these butterflies.


At the end of the expedition, Cerny expects to have filled his bottle with some new species numb. Thailand, there's probably some 600 species of Arctiidae (in Europe are about 100), perhaps even double. Nobody knows.


That's one of the characteristics of Thailand: Unlike India or Vietnam, here there was never a power of occupation. Therefore, there was not a typical colonial official unemployed, educated and capricious, that, in his spare time was devoted to collecting beetles, butterflies, bugs, dragonflies and other insects after classify and name them, send them to museums London, Paris or Amsterdam. Pinratana Brother likes the speed with which his colleague Cerny works. At the end of the day, feels impatience to see the next volume already printed. So it makes a bit rushed. When Karel Cerny shows on a map of southern Thailand where aims to put light-traps moths are attracted by bright-white cloth, the priest takes an investigator's hand in hers. He holds it gently and solemnly moves side to side as if it were a bell rope, "Good choice, good choice!" She exclaims.

A narrow strip of land, which is the step towards the southern tip of Thailand, requires all migratory species to move in a limited space. They also have to pass that copies of Arctiidae.


Butterflies, with their fragile appearance, to undertake migration is a fact that always astonishes. Some species pass through even thousands of miles. Famous is, for example, the journey of monarch butterflies, which are moved every year from North America to their wintering grounds in Mexico, traveling in the most extreme cases up to 4,000 miles each way so many back.

As if it were an inverted funnel, the valley narrows up. "Artesa glacial" is like geographers call this type of valleys. The low-flying insects use them as migration route. Down by the canal, the jeep loaded with Cerny equipment circulates a muddy road, and firm enough so the wheels do not sink. Up on the top of the slope of the valley, facing south, is the cloth screen illuminated by neon light. Shadows seem to dance on it all kinds of butterflies and praying mantis, crickets, bedbugs and other insects not identified. As the sun illuminates the tops of the mountains, cicadas drown out the noise of the generator with that recall the creaking sound of the drill bit high speed steel. With the advent of darkness, by the proximity of Ecuador, occurs abruptly, the night shift takes over, much less noisy but equally strident. Unexpectedly there is something magical fireflies emit their light flashing through the leaves of banana trees. Its luminosity is clearly superior to that of European species.
