Statement One:
Chocolate is a popular sweet tasting food that the world has loved for centuries. Chocolate contains over 300 chemicals such as Cacao, which contains antibacterial agents that fight against tooth decay and ethylamine, which is a mild mood enhancer. As you can see, just because chocolate tastes so good doesn’t mean that it’s completely bad for you. Hot chocolate is believed to reduce appetite and to be good with dieting. Some say that dark chocolate is better for you than milk chocolate because it does not contain all the sugars and fats and whatnot. In studies, people were given 22 grams of cocoa and 16 grams of dark chocolate every day. Their LDL or bad cholesterol was less at risk for oxidation which proves that coca could help.
Statement Two:
Chocolate is found to do all sorts of good things but some negatives is that chocolate is high in calories, saturated fats and sugar as you well know. Scientists say that even dark chocolate, is high in calories and will not help with dieting.
Tasks:
One: Good or Bad? Is chocolate more healthy than unhealthy, or vice versa? Why do you think this?
Two: Would you use chocolate for dieting? Why or why not?
Three: Give a link supporting your ideas and opinions.
Four: What’s your favorite chocolate and why? =D
