seeder Posted October 3, 2015 #1 Share Posted October 3, 2015 World's first 'medicinal' chocolate: Scientists have developed a bar so healthy it could be taken as medicine The key ingredient in chocolate, cacao, contains antioxidants and minerals Health benefits are negated by chocolate bars' high fat and sugar content Company created prototype bar which has just 35 per cent sugar and fat It 'unleashes the medical benefits of cacao,' said developers Kuka Xoco http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3258174/World-s-medicinal-chocolate-Scientists-developed-bar-healthy-taken-medicine.html#ixzz3nVE2vOx7 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lilly Posted October 3, 2015 #2 Share Posted October 3, 2015 I'll have to taste one before I give it a thumbs up...but it is a good idea to try and lower the fat and sugar in most things. I'm just not too sure about chocolate (yet). 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grandpa Greenman Posted October 3, 2015 #4 Share Posted October 3, 2015 Healthy?, then that must mean it taste like crap at three times the price. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lilly Posted October 3, 2015 #6 Share Posted October 3, 2015 Healthy?, then that must mean it taste like crap at three times the price. That's what I'm worried about. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IBelieveWhatIWant Posted October 3, 2015 #7 Share Posted October 3, 2015 Even if it tastes half as good as chocolate, I would be willing to switch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theotherguy Posted October 3, 2015 #8 Share Posted October 3, 2015 I dunno, I like dark chocolate, like 70%+ cacao. Is there any difference? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yamato Posted October 4, 2015 #13 Share Posted October 4, 2015 Dark chocolate is already healthy. 86% dark means there's 86% Cacao and only 14% available for sugar and fat. Scientists didn't make it more medicinal, they just made the medicine less bitter, allegedly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rivendel Posted October 10, 2015 #16 Share Posted October 10, 2015 It does not sound like anything Willy Wonka will be making in his factory... at least not soon. I wonder if it has any side-effects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
