NOTE

Choose Dark Over White for Healthy Indulgence

While dark chocolate may not be as beneficial as extra virgin olive oil, it offers more health advantages than white chocolate due to its higher cocoa content and the presence of beneficial compounds. The body's response to chocolate can vary greatly, influenced by individual microbiomes. Training and fitness may enhance one's ability to derive health benefits from dark chocolate. In contrast, white chocolate lacks health advantages as it primarily contains fat without the cocoa's nutritional value. Mass-produced chocolates often exploit the bliss point, a combination of sugar, salt, and fat, leading to overconsumption without a satisfying experience, unlike higher-quality chocolates.
