Hi,
	I read in an article that there is some evidence that when women with
PMS are craving chocolate, it could indicate a low level of magnesium in that
person.  Additionally, magnesium/calcium supplements were said to provide the
same feeling of "comfort/being loved" that is said to be a reason why people
crave chocolate.  If this is true, what amounts of magnesium/calcium would be
beneficial to add to your diet??  Can you get this amount of them by eating
foods that are high in magnesium/calcium or would you need supplements?

	Thanks,
		Mary
