Cocoa beans, the main ingredient in chocolate, contain naturally occurring polyphenols. There is some evidence that polyphenols help reduce blood pressure and have antioxidant properties. A July 2020 study from the Baylor College of Medicine, Texas, has suggested that chocolate can keep the heart’s blood vessels healthy. But this study doesn't cons...
Chocolate contains small amounts of caffeine, which may contribute to the idea that it makes us energetic. When you’re hungry, it’s better to eat a snack that provides sustained energy release. Choose foods with less sugar and fat and more fibre, such as a small sandwich, a piece of toast, an apple or a small bowl of unsweetened cereal.
Dark chocolate contains more cocoa solids and cocoa butter than milk chocolate, but the amount of polyphenols depends on how the chocolate is processed, so it’s not necessarily better. During the manufacturing process, cleaning, fermentation, roasting time and temperature, ‘dutching’ (alkalising) and the addition of extra ingredients to the cocoa (...
Any excess energy you consume will lead to weight gain. One chocolate bar averages 250kcal. This is equivalent to 10 per cent of a man’s and 12 per cent of a woman’s recommended daily intake, and it’s often gobbled down in a few minutes. In order to lose the energy obtained from a chocolate bar, a 50-year-old person needs to walk for 45–55 minutes.

This connection means we might feel that we ‘need’ it, which can make it hard to control how much we eat. Instead, try to obtain pleasurable feelings in other wa...

However, depending on what you mix the cocoa powder with, your hot chocolate drink can contain as much energy (calories), fat and sugar as between one and two-and-a-half average chocolate bars. Be wary of ho...
Most people who have diabetes can usually consume chocolate in moderation and as part of a healthy lifestyle and diet. There is no need for special diabetic chocolate products that are often higher in energy and fat, and may still raise your blood glucose levels. Instead, if you do decide to eat chocolate, stick to a small amount of it and try to h...
The energy, fat and sugar content per 100gare similar to other chocolates.

But always check the portion size. Some bubbly chocolates are sold in ...
