TheSaltyChef Nestle Rich Chocolate Flavor hot cocoa contains 95 milligrams per serving of natural antioxidants!
The new health food?
No doubt it actually does contain those antioxidants. But it’s really mostly a package of sugar, every bit as bad for our heart as the antioxidants are to be good. And what exactly does this number tell you? Look how complicated Hershey makes the measurement of antioxidant compounds in chocolate sound. And while there is an emerging consensus that there are good-for-you compounds in chocolate it still just might not be that good for you!

Many parson like chocolate, and they know that Nestle Rich Chocolate Flavor hot cocoa contains many milligrams per serving of natural antioxidants. thanks to shyer.
I agree with you. There has to be a point where it has to be decided whether a food can claim to have health benefits solely based on a few ingredients with known health benefits when the rest of the ingredients are possibly harmful to you. While chocolate may have a host of antioxidant benefits, the quantity of sugar and other additives most likely has a more detrimental effect on your health than the small serving of antioxidants.
I do not follow all claims by if food is healthy, many of these claims are over rated. But that chocolate sure looks yummy, if not healthy.
This isn’t too different from sugary cereals harping on their fiber content, or salads smothered in calorie-laden sauces. But life seems too short to get too caught up by these nuances, I think indulgence in moderation is the key.
As I’ve gotten older, my tastes in chocolate have switched from milk chocolate to dark chocolate. The milk chocolate candies and other treats that I loved as a kid, now seem too sweet and don’t have enough chocolate flavor to suit me. Today I’d rather have a little bit of better quality dark chocolate than a lot of mass-market milk chocolate. Still, any chocolate is better than no chocolate.
Yeah I like ALL types of chocolate! Thanks for reading all my articles!
