Ok, good for the women. Now do the study with bacon.

[daler]

Yeah, I hate it, too.

Which fully explains why it’s the healthier choice.

Life would be so much easier if healthy eating wasn’t so boring and unpalatable.

I guess that sounds better than:

FAT UNHEALTHY PEOPLE PREFER MILK CHOCOLATE

“cacao generates environmental impacts which fuel climate change as a result of the production of chocolate following the production of the raw material cacao, which also exerts a net negative carbon footprint”

Greta says no dark chocolate for you! It’s for ze elites only.

Good news for me, I love dark chocolate.

I always wonder who paid for the study and how do they make money from the conclusions. But if dark chocolate substitutes for other stuff and reduces the total sweet intake it might work.

The warehouse club didn’t have the dark choc giardellis (sp?), but they had store brand dark choc thins with sea salt. I can feel the diabetes screaming for mercy right now. :^)

[discostu]

I remember when the sea salt thing started. I was all “no”, cause it just sounds like a bad idea. Then I had some salted caramel, and salted dark chocolate since, oh my that is good. Enjoy.

I call “Barbara Steisand!”

(Rush Limbaugh returns!)

Eating dark choclate tastes SO bad, you need 4 times the milk chocolate to sink both the taste and the recent memory of it.
Thus, diabetes MORE likely.

Eating 4 milk chocolates origibally is one chocolate less! Thus lowing diabetes risk to 100%, versus 112%.

Math made easy. No government study money spent and no cause twisted ot, just common sense.

It’s delicious!.........

Organic cacao powder. Aldi Moser 85% chocolate bars. Trader Joe’s 500g 72% bar. My best chocolate sources.

[Red Badger]

We buy Aldi’s. Delicious!.......................

Thats what I was going to post.

Moser Roth 85%
6 net carbs per .88oz bar (5 per 4.4oz pack)

It sounds like they are suggesting a lot of chocolate until you realize that a .88oz bar each night of the week is 6.16oz and the 6 net carbs easily fits into a strict carb diabetic diet.

[gnarledmaw]

I actually always keep a pack here by the computer for when Im Freeping. You never know when an emergency might break out.

[TTFX]

Is it the chocolate itself that’s doing the trick, or is it something else that is reducing chocolate eaters’ diabetes risk?

I think chocolate is the food highest in copper.
