                                According to a study in the journal *Nutrients*, cocoa's compounds can affect the body in various ways, explaining why some people feel an odd sensation after eating dark chocolate. This "funny" feeling can range from a slight buzz to more noticeable digestive or physical symptoms, often stemming from natural substances within the cocoa itself.
