Dark vs. Milk Chocolate

Dark Chocolate

  • Great source of antioxidants
  • Rich in minerals (iron, magnesium, zinc)
  • Contains less sugar
  • Reduces inflammation
  • Improves brain function
  • Can improve insulin resistance 
Milk Chocolate
  • Contains milk (lactose) which the majority of humans can not digest. Leading to gas, cramping, or diarrhea whenever dairy is consumed.
  • Filled with added sugar which is linked to obesity and diabetes.
  • Can cause weight gain
  • Often contains high fructose corn syrup
As you can see dark chocolate has many health benefits and may even improve your overall health. So next time you are craving chocolate, opt for some dark chocolate over milk chocolate so you can feel good about eating chocolate and not be running to the washroom or increasing inflammation and pain in your body.
