Lindt uses cocoa powder processed with alkali. Should we be concerned about this processing?

[@danniixface]

How often should we be eating the dark chocolate? 🍫

[@edwardbutka4750]

@drekberg I really enjoy your work and am grateful for your contributions. I believe there is one area of the "Lindt chocolate profile," that makes it a poor choice. I have read from other sources that the "alkali process" that Lindt uses in making their chocolates significantly reduces the flavanol content in their product. Was the information I had obtained incorrect?

[@edwardbutka4750]

@@jeremybalizenter2896 LOL, I wish I would have read your reply before I made my post. But, what I have read from other sources makes me suspect in eating Lindt Dark Chocolate. That alkali process actually helps the "taste profile" of the chocolate. If I was not looking to eat the dark chocolate for the flavanol bang, Lindt is a quality tasting dark chocolate option.

Chocolate is one of those things I don't associate with healthy eating. If I'm looking for a desert or something to treat myself, I'm not going to ruin it by picking a healthy version. Everyone should have moments to indulge in desserts or treats. Moderation is key.

The Consumer Reports lab found that out of the 28 dark chocolate bars, eight had more than 100% of the MADL of cadmium in a single ounce. Ten had more than 100% of the daily allowable dose of lead per ounce. And five contained more than 100% of both cadmium and lead.

Lindt 90% cocoa is my normal chocolate bar with 7g sugar in the 100g bar, so two squares is just 1.4g of sugar. Another I like, though it's a little harder to find, is MONTEZUMA'S Absolute Black which is 100% cocoa solids.That's it. Nothing else is listed on the pack under 'ingredients'. Zero sugar. It's perhaps a bit of an acquired taste but no one else in the household steals my chocolate! 😉

[@MykeWinters]

Montezuma 100% is what I eat too, it’s lovely

[@BeanieDraws]

Interesting video! I've always heard that dark chocolate was healthier and better for you, but now you've explained WHY that is, and why some people love it (for the richness and easier satisfaction) and why some hate it (those who can't handle the lack of sweetness) very interesting stuff :)

[@drekberg]

Thank you Beanie. It is good to see you. Explaining the WHY is what I try to do on this channel. There are enough channels and websites to tell you what you should do, but I don't know of any that explain why. If people know why I believe they will be more likely to do what is healthy. Feel free to ask any health questions, and I will do my best to answer them.

It has so many health benefits as well to the point that i'm not even sure how true these are. So apperently dark chocolate boosts your exercise performance, it has antioxidants, it lowers blood pressure it helps balance the LDL and HDL cholestelor, boosts mood (and unlike caffeine it dosen't make you more anxious if you already are before) and it even helps with memory (so sort of a natural nootropic?). Of course all these are from the cocoa content but how true are these claims? i'd really like to know because it sounds too good to be true.

im eating the 90% lindt all the time and it tastes great

[@replaygeorge]

Usually, when talking about cakes, cookies, chocolate and other sweets, if it tastes good, it's most likely unhealthy :) I like chocolate a lot (however, I do not eat very often), but I have never managed to enjoy dark chocolate, including the top brands, like Lindt. I would rather have a dark coffee without any sugar. The diet helps if you have some health condition and really have to avoid certain things, but, when that is not the case, if the diet makes you hate the food you eat and eating in general, then it harms more than it helps. I had to take a diet several times and at times I really got depressed seeing foods in stores, or when people invited me to dinner and I had to avoid certain things they were serving. If the food doesn't harm you, then the negative thoughts about it will do it instead. You have to enjoy what you eat... like life!

You can also make your own freezer chocolate which consists of raw cocoa powder with coconut oil a little bit of coconut sugar( much lower glycemic, wont spike insulin) cinnamon and you can add nuts and coconut and laid in the freezer and have little bit every now then. I will others things like maca, goji berries etc.

[@robertoperaza2683]

I second that recipe is just I dont follow you on the coconut sugar part. Sugar is sugar no matter what. The super high process to obtain is pretty the same, its not a nature made product. Plus remember your body does not have sugar receptors but sweet receptors so yes, is going to trigger a signal to the brain some 'sugar's is coming even if it's not which brings us to the insulin response. Marketing is strong on the new trend of KETO safe? products ...

[@dinahnicest6525]

I buy 100% and slowly melt it with a bit of coconut oil and either a small amount of coconut sugar or monk sugar. In summer I will drizzle that over berries or frozen banana or I add some nuts and seeds to the melted chocolate and allow it to firm up again. This way I get a far healthier treat with less sweetness and a healthier form of sugar than a bar with higher amounts of white sugar.

And if the number feels ick, you can always switch up to a bar of milk chocolate or a different treat altogether. “There are many proven benefits of dark chocolate on health, so the potential harm from the presence of lead and/or cadmium needs to be weighed against these benefits,” says Castle. “Moderation is probably the best advice for dark chocolate lovers. A varied diet with plenty of fiber and nutrients will also offer some protection.”

What about Lindt 90% or even 99%% of cocoa?
