9. Chocolate - a powerful aphrodisiac

And in addition to cocoa butter, sugar, milk powder and vanillin are added to it. By the way, it is white chocolate that is often made porous by placing the mass in vacuum boilers for 4-5 hours. In a vacuum, pores form in the chocolate due to the expansion of air bubbles in the chocolate.
