  • From Dairy Milk and Milkybar to Galaxy and Tony's, we reveal the healthiest milk, white and dark chocolate bars -and the ones to avoid

The article from The Telegraph discusses the health benefits of chocolate, focusing on dark chocolate with high cocoa content. It highlights that chocolate, particularly dark varieties with at least 70% cocoa, contains antioxidants like flavonoids which can improve heart health, reduce blood pressure, and enhance blood flow. The piece explains that while milk and white chocolate have their own merits, they lack the same level of beneficial compounds due to lower cocoa content. It also touches on the importance of moderation due to chocolate's high calorie and sugar content, suggesting that for health benefits, one should opt for chocolate with minimal added sugar and high cocoa percentages. Additionally, the article mentions other health perks like potential mood enhancement due to compounds like phenylethylamine and serotonin, but cautions against overconsumption which could negate these benefits.
