Yes, I agree that what they are doing is bad, however chocolate alone is natural from a tree and by itself is healthy, yet when they add the dyes and sugar they can make it addicting. There are fair trade companies and there is healthy chocolate. Just had to stand up for chocolate because I love eating chocolate and it alone did nothing wrong but grow on a tree.
I can't believe all of the ingredients in American food. Our GRAS (generally recognized as safe) allows a whole crap ton if ingredients into our food that are not safe.
I have chocolate running through my veins!
But it's a food group right? Right? How else am I supposed to rationalize my need for it?
If junk food is a food group. The sugars, dyes and chemicals added that are addictive
Cocoa nibs is the closest to natural you can get...had a small bag of them for a while and they don't taste great, really. Do you love that unrefined stuff or are you more a fan of dark chocolate / low milk & sugar kind? Because the cocoa bean is quite bitter and not that pleasant.
Dark Chocolate all the way. In fact, Dark chocolate has some health benefits. Catch is getting the Dark chocolate without all the additive BS in it. Caution: real dark chocolate CAN be on the bitter side, but you get used to it.
You mention Cocoa nibs. Never had'em. May have to go lookin'!!
I don’t like overly sweet and I’ve done some research and (This was a few yrs back) if I remember correctly, Seratonin That Chocolate naturally contains which is a mood booster which is one reason I like it.
I prefer 60-70% cocoa dark
Chocolate, especially organic dark chocolate is a perfectly healthy treat. It has TONS of magnesium and antioxidants.
And let me remind you that one of the longest lived humans, Jean Calmant who lived to be 122 years old, ate a KILOGRAM (2.2 pounds, for those of you in Loma Linda) of chocolate per week!
