Which Chocolate Is The Healthiest? It’s Not What You Think.

• Cocoa Content: Look for chocolate with a higher cocoa content, ideally 70% or higher. This means the chocolate has a higher proportion of cocoa solids, which contain most of the health benefits.
• Sugar Content: Milk chocolate and some dark chocolate bars can be high in sugar. Opt for varieties with lower sugar content or those sweetened with sugar alcohols like xylitol.
• Ingredients: While some dark chocolate boasts added health ingredients like nuts or berries, be mindful of overall sugar content and choose options that fit your dietary needs.

Here are some examples of potentially healthy chocolates:

• Dark chocolate bars with at least 70% cocoa content and minimal added sugar.
• Dark chocolate squares that are sugar-free and sweetened with sugar alcohols.
• Small portions of dark chocolate covered nuts or fruits if they fit within your sugar limitations.

Remember: Chocolate, even dark chocolate, should still be eaten in moderation. It can be a healthy treat, but it’s not a health food.
