Chocolate


It's one of the most popular sweets of all time. Following are just a few reasons why chocolate is so popular and why you shouldn't give it up completely, even if you're on a diet!


There are many ways to enjoy chocolate such as chocolate cake, chocolate sauce, hot chocolate, milk chocolate, dark chocolate, chocolate ice cream. Many chocoholics will tell you that chocolate is not simply. It is something they need. It melts in your mouth - Chocolate contains fat--that's no surprise. The cocoa butter in chocolate gives it a rich, creamy consistency that also transmits the cocoa's flavor perfectly. It really is good for you. Recent studies suggest that chocolate especially dark chocolate contains chemicals that lower the risk of cancer and heart disease.


But you shouldn't have milk with your dark chocolate. However, the same studies show that milk can cancel out the healthful effects of eating chocolate by preventing those helpful chemicals from being fully absorbed in the body.
