Many people are worried about eating chocolate, thinking that they will get fat, suffer from diabetes and dental caries. In fact, this is a misunderstanding.
Although the fat content in chocolate is much higher than other foods, the cocoa butter contained in chocolate is an unsaturated fatty acid, which will not make people fat. A large number of experiments show that cocoa butter will not increase the cholesterol content in blood. As for the fear that too much sugar in chocolate will lead to diabetes, it is also unfounded. According to the specific determination, diabetes is not caused by eating sucrose; Moreover, at present, the per capita sugar in China is only 17 grams per day, and it is absolutely safe to eat 3-5 grams of sugar per day. Chocolate is different from candy, because it dissolves quickly, is not easy to stay in the mouth, and has little damage to teeth.
