thank god for kissing

as if you need more reasons to love it, apparently there's a new study that shows that kissing actually reduces the level of a hormone that causes stress (cortisol).

my favorite quote from this article though:

"In 2007 British scientists measured the brain and heart activity sparked by passionate kissing, but found it was less intense that the stimulation produced by eating chocolate."

PS happy upcoming valentine's day to all those that celebrate.

I think this is my favorite quote: "Romantic love has also been shown to have a close link to neurological activity, with scans showing that it has similar effect to cocaine on our brains." Cocaine???
