Espresso and chocolate pair so well because their stimulants, caffeine and theobromine, share the same bitter, roasted chemistry.

People who eat baked goods containing theobromine-cacao one at a time are the monsters. Monsters I tell you.
Who the hell eat just one small brownie?!?

technically, peanut-flavored penuche. but yeah, no cocoa and so no theobromine

Scientists have uncovered a surprising link between dark chocolate and slower aging. A natural cocoa compound called theobromine was found in higher levels among people who appeared biologically younger than their real age.

does anyone have anything to say about theobromine or paraxanthine? im curious about these metabolites of caffeine

🤎Theobromine in chocolate is so much gentler than caffeine!

Theobromine: No bromine
Chlorophyll: No chlorine
Fluorene: No fluorine
Any other examples of compound names that hint at elements they don’t contain?

Great question, so I had to look…
Theobroma is the genus of the cacao tree
Theo Greek root for "god"
Broma Greek root for "food"
So "food of the gods"
Which begs the question, why isn’t bromine edible?
Answer: bromos is Greek for “stink”
So broma ≠ bromos
Different etymologies

Why does "theobromine" have no actual Bromine in it?

It is National Bittersweet Chocolate Day, and National Oysters Rockefeller Day.
While Affirmation Coyote can, as a construct of thought and energy, consume chocolate, they will out of solidarity with their theobromine-intolerant organic kin stick with the oysters.

This is what a molecule of theobromine looks like up close.
Theobromine - one of the many interesting molecules in chocolate. Here's hoping that summer warms up a little to make this pic a little more seasonally relevant!

when we visited Rome I had the same breakfast every day: espresso & a chocolate croissant.That’s how you start a day: a concentrated & powerful infusion of caffeine, theobromine and carbs. I was up for anything until a few hours later my brain said “if you don’t have another espresso Ill kill you”

🧪Theobromine (the main psychoactive in #cocoa) is associated with slower aging
Years ago, I published on how #theobromine improves mood and blood pressure, so nice to see these benefits extend to #aging as well (bring on the #hotchocolate)
