Chocolate has been consumed in various guises for many centuries by diverse cultures. In 18 July Nature, Jeffrey Hurst and colleagues at the Hershey Foods Technical Center, Pennsylvania, show that the Mayans were consuming chocolate (Theobroma cacao) as early as 600 BC — almost a millennium earlier than previously thought (Nature 2002, 418:289-290).
