chocolate harmful for health ?

Well medically they say dark chocolates are good anti oxidant and good for health. I feel black chocolates sometimes taste bitter due to more cocoa..i like milk chocolates.

Hiii vjypathania Well anything in excessive amount can harm you.If you eat salt too much then its going to harm you.Chocolate isnt an exception.Eating many chocolates everyday can increase weight and thus it isnt good for heart. also if chocolate remain on your teeth then it can harm your teeth

I think eating chocolates is okay. It also triggers the release of endorphins which calms the nerves and gives one a good mood. What makes it harmful for health is when a person eats too much of it. As always, things must always be in moderation. I agree with magtibaygom on the dark chocolates. I think I saw it once on Discovery Channel that one of the most healthy snacks is dark chocolate. I think its because of the antioxidant properties it has, meaning, it helps prevent heart diseases and cancer by destroying the free radicals in the body. On another note, I saw this article that dark chocolate is healthy as long as it is not taken in with milk because milk interferes with the antioxidant absorption: http://www.webmd.com/diet/news/20030827/dark-chocolate-is-healthy-chocolate Thanks for this discussion, I think I'll opt for dark chocolates over milk chocolates next time.

Chocolate is addictive, but it is very unfortunate that those people are unconcious about their health. You should definitely enjoy life at its best, but it is quite necessary for us to stay in our limits and control ourselves. Because after all Health is Wealth!!..:)

Chocolate can be harmful if were going to eat much of it but it has also an advantage ,,,I've heard a lot of people say that it is good to eat chocolate specially when you are stressed or depressed...and i do believe that I also heard already a news about it...(n.n)

Yes, that is very true. Chocolate is very good tasting and hard to resist sometimes, even if we do know that we should not be eating it, many times we will eat it anyways because it just tastes so darn good. I admit I have been guilty of this, but I have cut way back on my chocolate consumption. So hopefully I will get more healthy now.

well, if you really suffer from diabetes, i think chocolate will be very harmful, even deadly for you if you eat it, but if you don't have any sugar connected diseases and you don't overdo with it, then it can't harm you, it can even help you like activating your brain activity!
