BBC NEWS | Health | Is love just a chemical cocktail?

A professor of neuroscience at Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia, Larry Young, says that love is just a chemical reaction.  His article in the scientific journal Nature argues that love can be explained by a series of neurochemical events that are happening in specific brain areas.

If that is true then, Professor Young says, one would no longer have to rely on oysters or chocolates to create a loving mood.

Instead, it will be possible for scientists to develop aphrodisiacs - chemicals that would make people fall in love with the first person they see.

And for those who have fallen in love with someone they shouldn't have fallen in love with, an antidote to unrequited love.

Hopefully, his research and the antidote will be available before February 14th.
