who hear thinks chocolate is bad for you?..the normal one not dark or white or w.e...like choclate bars mr big, mars etc. i never use to eat it b4 and ive become obbsessed i eat it at least every second day lol...but now im scared ima get diabetes or sumthin :( ..cuz u hear all this negativity bout choco...and i HAVE actualy been breaking out alot more even tho thats not suppose to be true?..any knowledge?

i dont think its bad for you necessarily.. but all that about chocolate being good for you-i DONT agree!you can get the same \"antioxidents\" from anything.. its just another excuse to make chocolate seem \"good for you\" like an excuse,but if your just eating it as a treat its totally fine

hey fro.. i think it\'s bad for you if you eat too many chocolate bars. :P

if you\'re only eating 1 chocolate bar every other day, i think you\'re ok as long as you eat a well balanced diet
:P

The Truth about Chocolate.

Chocolate is a Vegetable.
Chocolate is derived from cocoa beans.
Bean = vegetable.

Sugar is derived from either sugar CANE or sugar BEETS.
Both are plants, which place them in the vegetable category.

Therefore, chocolate is a vegetable.

Chocolate candy bars also contain milk,which is dairy. So candy bars are a health food.

Chocolate-covered raisins, cherries, orange slices and strawberries all count as fruit, so eat as many as you want.

lol pandalover. Good excuses to eat chocolate :P I hardly eat chocolate but when I do my faves are Crispy Crunch,Coffee Crisp,Reese\'s Peanut Butter cup & Kit Kat. mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!!!

my favorites:

There\'s lot of antioxidents in a good quality dark chocolate bar (Like the French one Cote D\'Or or Swiss Lindt) but those chocolate bars like Hersheys and Mr Big.. not so much good stuff.

Most of those cheaper chocolate, it\'s all fat and such.. not derived from real cocoa so much. It\'s like natural peanut butter (Ever see the ones with the oil at the top of the jar?) compared to those creamy (Skippy\'s or is it Skippers... store brands and such) PB, the creamy PBs are all fat.. not much peanut in it at all.

If you ever go to the UK, taste their Cadbury compared to the ones in Canada... HUGE TASTE DIFFERENCES.

lol yes those chocolates are bad for you, just look in the nutritional fact/guide label thing, it shows a high amount of sugar, and fat. I guess if you control your whole diet to fit a chocolate bar containing that much fat, sugar and other stuff then it won\'t be so bad.

but I remember reading somewhere that a certain amount of dark chocolate is good for you, I don\'t remember the exact amount butttttttt yaaa.

yesh dark choco is very bitter ...as for the health concerns it is filled with a lota \"junk\" thats y i was like hmm all of this cant be good for you...and i agree i have eaten uk choco b4 and its way better...its cause they dunt put so much crap in their choco!lol

i personally like dark chocolate better. White chocolate is actually not chocolate. Its like milk and has no coco in it.

i heard dark chocolate is the only kind that goods for you? it cleans out your blood or something, but i also heard that you should eat chocolate when girls have their period cause it makes the blood cleaner as well.. lol.

but i like white chocolate the best :)

I love white chocolate too

Chocolate is SO NOT bad for ya!! besides the fact that it makes you fat, but regardless of that..if you eat sweet stuff like chocolate for example when your sad..it can make you happy again :D cause chocolate stimulates certain glands in your body to release hormones that can make you happy!!!!! so girls, whenever you guys are having problems......eat chocolates!!!!!

haha, who cares if it's unhealthy.
CHOCOLATE IS YUMMY =) that's all that counts. lol.
