Chocolate
What is the healthiest type of chocolate, dark or milk chocolate?
Dark chocolate doesn't have any milk solids added to it, while milk chocolate does. Dark chocolate has more of a real chocolate taste and is drier, chalkier and more bitter than milk chocolate (depypere, 2014). Dark chocolate has 9% immune-supporting zinc while milk only has 6%, and dark's cholesterol is 0.3% and milk's in 3% (oaklander). Milk chocolate is not very nutritious in fiber and minerals though dark chocolate is (depypere, 2014)
“One small study showed participants ate less junk food after eating dark chocolate. This did not happen with milk chocolate," was a quote found from the article Heathy Eater. (james).
