White Chocolate is made up primarly of sugar.
Dark Chocolate is made up primarly of coca.
Don’t be fooled. Real dark chocolate is made at least by 80% of cocoa.
You should know that eating oats straight from a bag is healthier than making oatmeal.
There’s a balance between nutrition and taste/enjoyment. I’ve never been able to stomach more than a bite or two of dark chocolate at once, and that’s perfectly okay.
Careful. Consumer Reports found lead and cadmium in popular brands of dark chocolate: consumerreports.org/…/lead-and-cadmium-in-dark-ch…
Yeah, I was about to say that I thought this was already considered old news. Probably all chocolate is infected. Good thing I wouldn’t care if it went extinct.
Even if you aren’t a frequent consumer of chocolate, lead and cadmium can still be a concern. It can be found in many other foods—such as sweet potatoes, spinach, and carrots—and small amounts from multiple sources can add up to dangerous levels.
Good thing those veggies aren’t important.
TIL for me

Another one of these?
Another obvious shill from big Dark Chocolate
Honestly, dark chocolate tastes much better than the milky stuff anyway, its way too sweet. Still, i’m not sure how ‘healthy’ it is compared to anything else.
Yep. I can’t stand milk chocolate. So gross.
As a general rule, the darker the better.
This isn’t the first time I’ve heard that.
Not if you’re a dog. Stop assuming I’m not a dog!
Isn’t this common knowledge?
Ok to be fair I live in Belgium. We know a thing or two about chocolate.
And shorn scrotums at the age of fourteen according to Dr Evil in Austin Powers but I digress.
You should know milk chocolate is the best tasting one
no shit, captain obvious.
I’d rather enjoy my chocolate and die young than eat chalk.
The best way to eat dark chocolate is as a Mounds bar. The bitterness is swallowed whole by the sickly sweetness of the coconut and the coconut’s sickly sweetness is balanced out by the dark chocolate’s bitterness.
I heard 73% dark or more is good for everyone. I had 100% cacao chips, and I really do like them.
100% is best
60% is peak tho
Unless you suffer from acid reflux in which case the opposite is true.
Tastes like shit tho
I never thought about it but White Chocolate doesn’t have a “dark” less sweetened equivalent, does it?
White chocolate isn’t even chocolate. It has no cocoa
It is still made from cocoa milk.
So it is still made from cocoa beans like chocolate, has the consistency of chocolate, and it has its sweet taste like chocolate.
It is chocolate.
Yes but you could still make variants with more or less sweetness.
Maybe cocoa butter?
I don’t eat chocolate to be healthy.
And I would rather not eat any chocolate if it is only dark. Which is even more healthy.
Not to me. I eat dark chocolate and stomach goes through stabbing pains followed by nuclear blast in the toilet bowl.

I may eat dark chocolate but I sure don’t tell myself it’s for “health benefit”
