Default the chemistry of chocolate?

Hello,

Chocolate contains hundreds (or thousands) of
chemicals. The better-known ingredients of chocolate
include theobromine, caffeine, anandamide,
tryptophan, phenylethylamine, polyphenols, etc.

1. Which of these chemicals are associated with the
reportedly healthful effects of chocolate?
2. In which parts of chocolate are they present?
(Cocoa butter, dry cocoa, etc.)

I'm talking about pure chocolate, not candy with sugar.

Thank you very much!

Ted Shoemaker
