The Truth About Store-Bought Chocolate Exposed

Because most store bought chocolate is roasted, processed, sweetened with sugar and has added chemicals the nutritional value falls alarmingly short.
Refined sugar is so bad for the body that it is often referred to as “white death”.
Sugar has a very high GI rating (Glycemic Index) which means it quickly and dangerously raises our blood sugar levels when eaten. This can contribute to such disorders as Syndrome X and Type 2 diabetes.
Sugar is harmful to the body as it destroys the immune system, draws minerals out of the body and causes dehydration.
It has also been linked to premature ageing, weight gain and high blood pressure.
Refined sugar is highly addictive, that’s why you find yourself at 4 pm pacing around saying to yourself “I’m not going to eat that chocolate bar”. But you inevitably give in to temptation, feel guilty and end up hating yourself.
Processed chocolate can lead to weight gain due to the high levels of unhealthy fats, sugar and chemicals added during manufacture
Adding milk products to chocolate effectively cancels out the antioxidants found naturally in the cacao bean
Even knowing all the above I know it is totally unrealistic to expect people to stop eating chocolate. It is just too irresistible & yummy.http://www.trendseveryday.com/chocolate-recipe-guilt-f
