"Debunking the Myth: The Truth About Dark Chocolate's Health Benefits"

TL;DR Summary
Nutritionists and experts debunk the idea of "healthy" chocolate, stating that the flavonols in dark chocolate are present in such small amounts that consuming enough for health benefits would lead to excessive calorie intake and potential health risks. Despite claims of being "better-for-you," many chocolate products contain added sugars and fats, contributing to excess calories. While chocolate can be enjoyed in moderation as part of a balanced diet, experts caution against excessive consumption and recommend limiting daily intake to around 100 calories worth of chocolate.
