× I've always been a sweet tooth.

✓ I've always had a sweet tooth.

The phrase 'be a sweet tooth' is incorrect because 'sweet tooth' is a noun phrase describing a person's liking for sweets, so the correct verb is 'have'. Therefore, 'I've always had a sweet tooth' is the correct expression.

× Ever since I was a child I loved eating chocolate.

✓ Ever since I was a child, I have loved eating chocolate.

The phrase 'ever since' indicates a period continuing to the present, so the present perfect tense 'have loved' is appropriate instead of simple past 'loved'.

× My uncle, aunt, mom, dad or my even my brother used to bring me chocolate every day because they all knew how fond I was of it.

✓ My uncle, aunt, mom, dad, or even my brother used to bring me chocolate every day because they all knew how fond I was of it.

The phrase 'or my even my brother' is incorrect in word order. The correct order is 'or even my brother'.

× So I eventually I grew up to like chocolate even more.

✓ So eventually, I grew up to like chocolate even more.

The sentence has redundant 'I' after 'So eventually'. Removing the extra 'I' improves sentence structure.

× I ate chocolate twice or twice a week as a child.

✓ I ate chocolate once or twice a week as a child.

The phrase 'twice or twice a week' is incorrect and redundant. The correct quantifier is 'once or twice a week'.

× I used to eat a lot of chocolate, but as I grew up I've been more health conscious and sugar is not too good for your well-being and your health, so I've tried to minimize it.

✓ I used to eat a lot of chocolate, but as I grew up, I've become more health conscious and sugar is not good for your well-being and health, so I've tried to minimize it.

The phrase 'I've been more health conscious' is better expressed as 'I've become more health conscious' to indicate a change over time. Also, 'not too good' is informal and better as 'not good'.

× So I, uh, try to eat chocolate less than before.

✓ So I, uh, try to eat less chocolate than before.

The phrase 'eat chocolate less' is incorrect word order. The correct order is 'eat less chocolate'.

× Yes, every time someone visited me, they used to bring me chocolate, whether it's a big packet of marshmallow or a small chocolate like orange balls.

✓ Yes, every time someone visited me, they used to bring me chocolate, whether it was a big packet of marshmallows or a small chocolate like orange balls.

The pronoun 'it's' is incorrect here because the past tense context requires 'it was'. Also, 'marshmallow' should be plural 'marshmallows'.

× Orange balls and lactose were really famous during my childhood, so I used to eat that a lot.

✓ Orange balls and Lactose were really popular during my childhood, so I used to eat them a lot.

The pronoun 'that' is singular but refers to two items, so 'them' is correct. Also, 'famous' is better replaced with 'popular' for food items.

× Chocolate brings a sense of chewy in everyone.

✓ Chocolate brings a sense of chewiness to everyone.

The adjective 'chewy' is incorrectly used; the noun form 'chewiness' is appropriate here. Also, the preposition 'to' fits better than 'in'.

× Well, scientifically, chocolate increases your dopamine hormone which makes everyone feels good.

✓ Well, scientifically, chocolate increases your dopamine hormone which makes everyone feel good.

The verb after 'makes everyone' should be base form 'feel' not 'feels' because 'makes' causes the base verb to follow.

× And so does it always also good for your.

✓ And so, is it always also good for you?

The original sentence is ungrammatical and incomplete. Rephrasing as a question 'is it always also good for you?' makes sense in context.

× I've always got bad period cramps, so whenever I, uh, dark chocolate, it seems to suit down my pain.

✓ I've always had bad period cramps, so whenever I eat dark chocolate, it seems to ease my pain.

'Got' should be 'had' for standard English. The verb 'eat' is missing after 'whenever I'. 'Suit down' is incorrect; 'ease' or 'reduce' is appropriate.

× It uh, can be used as a pain really for during my heart menstruation time.

✓ It can be used as a pain reliever during my period.

The phrase 'pain really for during my heart menstruation time' is incorrect and unclear. 'Pain reliever during my period' is the correct expression.

× So I like dark chocolates.

✓ So I like dark chocolate.

'Chocolate' as a general food item is uncountable and should be singular here.

× Yes, chocolate is a sign of love.

✓ Yes, chocolate is a symbol of love.

While 'sign' is not grammatically wrong, 'symbol' is a more appropriate word to express the meaning intended.

× It brings joy to people.

✓ It brings joy to people.

This sentence is correct and needs no correction.

× It is used when you want to express your love.

✓ It is used when you want to express your love.

This sentence is correct and needs no correction.

× As you know, a separate day during the Valentine is also categorized for the chocolate day, so you know how important the chocolate is.

✓ As you know, a separate day during Valentine's Day is also dedicated to chocolate, so you know how important chocolate is.

'Valentine' should be 'Valentine's Day'. 'Categorized for the chocolate day' is incorrect; 'dedicated to chocolate' is correct. Also, 'the chocolate' is unnecessary before 'is'.
