Why is dark chocolate better than milk chocolate? If you think about chocolate, you will think about sweet flavors that can make a lot of food such as ice-cream, cake, candy, and shakes. I am the one who likes chocolate so much, I grew up with a chocolate flavor in every dessert, but now I prefer dark chocolate to milk chocolate because it is not too sweet and healthier. The difference between milk and dark chocolate is not only sweetness but also the percentage of coco it contains, in milk chocolate it contains a minimum 25% of coco, and in dark chocolate contain 60% up of coco. There are so many advantages of Dark chocolate such as powerful source of antioxidants, very nutritious, raises HDL(high-density lipoprotein) and protects LDL(low-density lipoprotein) from oxidation, improves brain function, and reduce heart disease risk (healthline). On the other hand, you should not eat it too much because excessive consumption of dark chocolate can increase caffeine levels in blood, causing increased heart rate, nausea, dehydration, and insomnia (healthifyme).
