Is Chocolate is good source of energy

Chocolate is supposed to be having caffeine so it is a good stimulant and it has lots of sweetening agents so it's heavy, so when yuo need a quick snack bite you can count on chocolates. Though it's high on the calorie side. An dI erad it once in a newspaper that eating chocolate helps you keep away from heart attack(or was it cancer). But there have been a number of good things being talked about eating chocolates in the newspapers.

It's true!!! It's because they have caffein in it, and it can boast your energy. It also give you energy since most chocolate on market is not dark chocolate, so it contains sugar and milk

hi sachinkr9, my dear friend, i think chocolates yes, are a good source of energy. a good branded chocolate is having lots of things which are good for human body. chocolates are made from cocoa beans and this bean hyas more iron than any other vegetable, as much as i know. its also a good source of potassium , zinc, copper, manganese and phosphorus. it also act as a relaxant and tranquilizer and so is very good in countering stress. i have known all this because me and my hubby both are a big lover of chocolates. so happy chocolate eating.

Saviour-V teleports in... Slightly off-topic, but there's an article in an old Reader's Digest mag I found previously. Probably one of the older ones. The article's called "The chocolate wars: Mars attack and Hershey bites back in the battle for the sweet tooth." I think it's a 1999 article. Anyway, in that particular article, there was word that either Hershey or Mars was responsible for making the then-popular Ration D - a quick meal consisting of a chocolate bar, or something to that effect. I don't really remember the details off-hand....but this URL has more info: http://www.hersheys.com/discover/history/rationD.asp And, of course, if you search Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/D-ration ...you might find some more info on this. Just saying. Saviour-V bows to sachinkr9, before teleporting out...
