How Many Calories Are In Chocolate
I think Chocolate is largely an “empty-calorie” food that is unhealthy and has little to offer in the way of nutrition.
I think you're confusing pure chocolate, or cocoa or cacao, and the sugar and other additives in candied chocolate. By itself, it is high in caffeine, so eating too much isn't a good idea, and it's also high in fat, although that fat isn't necessarily that bad in moderation, but it's also high in antioxidants and is good for stomach problems -- but again, not with the sugar and corn syrup and everything else added, and not eaten in large quantities.
False. While chocolate does provide calories, they certainly are not empty. Chocolate also provides a variety of other essential vitamins; minerals and other substances (simply read the rest of this booklet to find out why chocolate is a healthful food.)
