Is chocolate junk food?

As long as you don’t eat it excessively, chocolate is not considered junk food. Chocolate is actually a carbohydrate food with great nutritional value. Chocolate can provide a considerable amount of nutrients that the human body needs every day. Only 1.4 ounces (about 40 grams) of milk chocolate contains 3 grams of protein, 15% of the daily vitamin B2 required by the human body, 9% calcium, 7% iron, 9% phosphorus, 6% magnesium and 8% copper, and more than Ordinary milk contains higher amounts of zinc, potassium, and anti-skin disease vitamins.

If your children love to eat sweets, chocolate will be a very wise choice, because it definitely has more nutritional value than other sugary foods and can satisfy children's greedy requirements.

However, commercially available chocolates often contain high amounts of sugar, so it is not advisable to eat too much.
