dark chocolate is a powerful anti-oxidant. But this is only dark or bittersweet,, not milk chocolate or white chocolate. Of course, if you go crazy eating dark chocolate, the weight gain and sugar load can offset any benefits, so don't go eating a five-pound box of dark chocolate!

Opps, I eat milk chocolate and white chocolate not dark chocolate. So milk chocolate and white chocolate is not good for you like dark? I didn't know that but O wells it makes me feel good after I eat it. But I thought it was good for my body to.

White chocolate is more sugar than cacao - some countries like Swiss and Belgium don't even think of it as chocolate - so none of the benefits are present and your sugar intake goes right up, beware of diabetes and so on.

In some ways yes it is. If it does not have all the extra crap in it it is best. But I know it helps me with craps when i am about to start my rag and that is good enough for me for sure lmfao. Anyways thanks for the great topic hope this helps some what.

Bummer, you are going to have to skip the nougat (filling), too!
However, in addition to dark chocolate being an antioxident, it also stimulates endorphin production (feeling of pleasure), contains serotonin (acts as an anti-depressant), contains theobromine, caffeine and other substances (all stimulants). AND only 1/3 of the fat in dark chocolate is bad for you.
So, if switch up... you could be extra super happy, and stimulated!
