So, although being made of chocolate sounds pretty cool, I think that the various molecules that make up our bodies are even cooler! I love molecular biology! Eumelanin is responsible for making brown to black pigments in your body! Pheomelanin is responsible for making red to yellow pigments in your body. Neuromelanin is made in your brain and its exact function is still being determined by scientists! But we believe it has a role in Parkinson's disease!! All of these molecules work tog...
