Everyone wants to know the truth about chocolate. Is it good for you or not? Dark chocolate does have health beneļ¬ts. But guess what? Most people don’t eat dark chocolate! The majority of chocolate products are full of sugar and fat.
Read Six Myths about Chocolate and learn the truth once and for all. Sorry, chocoholics. Some myths will never die.
Six Myths about Chocolate
1. Chocolate is a healthy food.
This depends on the chocolate. Dark chocolate contains *antioxidants. These may provide health benefits when eaten in moderation. Milk chocolate is high in sugar and low in antioxidants. White chocolate has no antioxidants. Choose wisely! *substances that protect human cells
2. Chocolate keeps you thin.
Sorry, chocolate lovers. Too much chocolate can cause obesity. Most chocolate is high in sugar and fat. Chocolate bars are high in calories. Grab chocolate for an occasional treat, not a regular snack.
3. Chocolate causes pimples.
Food is not directly linked to acne. Pimples occur when there is oil on the skin. This is often due to hormone changes. Skin blemishes can also be genetic.
4. Chocolate is high in caffeine.
A piece of chocolate contains a small amount of caffeine. There is a similar amount in a cup of decaf coffee. This is not why chocolate is dangerous for dogs. Chocolate contains a chemical called theobromine. Like caffeine, theobromine is toxic to many dogs.
5. Chocolate is addictive.
Chocolate is not physically addictive. This is hard for chocoholics to believe. Many people crave chocolate. Doctors say this craving is emotional, not physical.
6. Chocolate prevents disease.
Candy companies want you to believe this. The same is sometimes said of red wine. Unfortunately, the sugar and fat in most chocolate cancel out the nutrients. If chocolate makes you happy, that’s a different story.
