Chocolate is, again, good for you

[dighn]

I'm probably the minority in this opinion but I find non-dark chocolate so disgustingly sweet that it completely overloads my taste buds making me literally feel ill in the mouth. How do people enjoy that stuff?! X|

[stevepqr]

I agree - sickly sweet milk chocolate is nowhere near as good as the 'real' dark stuff! and yes I do like to eat just one square occasionally - it practically kills my wife to watch me do it then put the rest back in the fridge :-D

I have low blood pressure. So, chocolate is unhealthy for me? :~

[martin_hughes]

No idea, to be honest. I'm one of those odd souls who doesn't really like chocolate at all.

[Christian Graus]

The thing is, all US chocolate is too sweet, and not chocolately enough. Our milk chocolate is probably bitter and strong to you. Having said that, I love dark chocolate, way better than milk.

I once had a Hershey bar. It tasted (and smelt) like someone had vommited in the choco-vat.

Supposedly, Hershey started out making milk chocolate with milk that was somewhat... off. Now, of course, that's their signature, so they can't change it... :rolleyes:

Yes, but can you blame them for doing so if that's the only legal way they can hire programmers they want at the rate they can afford?

Well said the rubbish that's labelled as chocolate in the UK is just that. The EU tried to get it re-labelled as it doesn't qualify a real chocolate, "family-chocolate" was the ridiculous moniker they came up with, anyhow big business won out and even though it's not it's still called chocolate. Some wonderful chocolate comes out of northern Italy, Liguria.

Caffeine is good;P Seriously though, funny I workout a lot, and the debate seems to seesaw wether caffeine is good and you should take suplements, to bad. Looks like some good some bad. Small amounts give slight increase to metabolism and heart rate, which will reduce your weight. Large amounts will mess up your hormones leading to the pregnant women body composition. You'll pack on fat and lose muscle. Budda say 'seak the middle path'.
