White Chocolate and Milk Chocolate contain a ton of sugar.

Dark Chocolate is made up primarly of cocoa. It’s much healthier.

As a general rule, the darker the better.

Don’t be fooled. REAL dark is made at least by 80% of cocoa. If it contains less than 80%, then it’s not actually dark chocolate.

If you are used to eating a lot of sugar in your diet, you might be horrified and shocked by the taste of dark chocolate. Don’t go to extremes like 99% immediatly. You need to get used to the bitter taste.

    Even if you aren’t a frequent consumer of chocolate, lead and cadmium can still be a concern. It can be found in many other foods—such as sweet potatoes, spinach, and carrots—and small amounts from multiple sources can add up to dangerous levels.

    Good thing those veggies aren’t important.

      You are correct; they have unfortunately also become risky. I literally, unironically minimize veggie intake because of these issues and eat spirulina powder. Algae is the future of food. JOIN ME!
