When he talks about chocolate, he is talking about raw cacao. Not the Snickers Bar at the convenience store.

Part of dropping sugar out of the diet is reducing all sweetness of all foods, and over time you stop looking for anything sweet tasting. I started with 90% Lindt chocolate, which seemed bitter at first, but after a couple of weeks I tried a 100% Montezuma chocolate and that is a different animal. Now I have totally converted to 100% chocolate and like it. The 90% seems too sweet now.

Clicked so fast seeing the title lol. As a chocolate lover, All I needed is Dr berg's stamp of apporval.

This explains why Willy Wonka looked younger in the second movie.

It makes me more awake without anxiety. Anyone else feel that?

İ m having almost daily a small amount of 85 % chocolate so İ can stay sane and enjoy life as well

Dr. Berg, I love it when you recommend a brand and don't send us out wandering the world and reading ingredients and then wondering if we got it right!!

Fantastic! I have a piece of chocolate a day 95% chocolate. Do keto and needed something with LOW to no sugar. Thank you!!

This guy should get the Nobel Prize for Medicine!

I love Dark Chocolate, but I can't eat just one square. Been doing Keto since January, down 30lbs, 15 more to go.

Thank you for helping me and my family... you're an extraordinary soul.

Okay, now you are officially my favourite Doctor EVER!!!!!!!!!🍫🍫🍫🍫🍫🍫🍫🍫🍫🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗

I love dark chocolate. It makes my mood better.

A friend of mine has started cacao (and chocolate) production in our house. Just got a big shipment of beans today. Looking forward to the progression. I’ve definitely noticed benefits on my adrenals. No urge to drink coffee when there’s cacao at hand.

I think I’ll try this for my depression rather than Prozac.......❤️

Dark chocolate sales just went up 100%. God Bless you Dr Berg. ☦️🙏🏼

Love this! I have 25g of dark choc a day, 70% cocoa most of the time. I also exercise everyday 😊

THANK YOU so much, blessed Dr. Berg! You truly are a blessing and a gift to humanity. So much value in each video, and to the point. Concise, instructive, convincing, and practical. You do have an excellent gift of teaching, obviously refined through exercise. And your peaceful spirit brings such calmness and reassurance to those who listen to you. Thank you for being who you are! You are such an inspiration.

Amazing info. This is good to hear. I consume cacao power regularly mixed with nuts, seeds and melted coconut oil with a touch of erythritol then let it harden in the freezer for 20 mins for a tasty nutritious chocky tasting treat. I now know a concise list of benefits of cacao thanks to you Eric! You’ve helped me lose 5 stone (70lbs) I tell lots of my friends about you. Would love to see you hold a seminar in the UK

Dr, You are always my best lecturer and online Dr. I am going to start eating Dark chocolate.

Hi. I think you have missed on mentioning one of the most important points beside choosing a no/ low sugar Dark chocolate which is to avoid dark chocolate processed with alkali( Dutching) and any chocolate with added Soy. Brands like Alter Eco, Pascha, green and black’s, Zazubean are excellent choices especially +!% 85

Finally a video where you endorse the consumption of chocolate.

I started making homemade sugar free dark chocolate in little Dixie cups with Hershey's 100% Cacao, MCT oil and Truvia- throw in a few pistachios or macadamia nuts and chill in the fridge. 1.2 -1.6 ounces each. Pretty darned good!

Actually, I feel much better not having chocolate at all.. I miss it less too, if I don't eat it at all... addiction goes away 😊 Greetings from Italy 💖🍀🌷🕊️💕

Doctor, teacher and friend 🤝

I've started eating 100% chocolate. Amazing. Sometimes with a bit of home made peanut butter

Chocolate is great just watch out for the added sugar, oxalates and cadmium

The antioxidants in dark chocolate have been shown to lower blood pressure, reduce the risk of clotting and increase blood circulation to the heart, thus lowering the risks of stroke, coronary heart disease and death from heart disease.👍

I’ve knocked out panic attacks and anxiety with dark chocolate! #8

Montezuma Absolute Black made in Sussex, England is my favorite using the chocolate nibs from the plant. No added sugars, very low carb, great for eating and baking. We get it from Trader Joe’s. Also, Trader Joe’s chocolate chips are organic, zero carbs are perfect for a quick snack or baking.

Suddenly there was a new study about healthy dark chocolate containing heavy metals. Can you speak on this topic? Hu's and some other organic healthier dark chocolates were my go to for a treat. All the dark chocolate bars are on sale in all the stores because of this new study. Do we need to avoid dark chocolate now or are there still a few brands that don't contain these heavy metals? You speak on so many topics, is this a topic that you can cover? I'm sure that there are others who would benefit from hearing what you have to say? Many thanks

I just want to say that all the pictures and illustrations you use in your videos are always so on point and exquisite lol first picture of the dark chocolate in like these wooden spoon is 🔥. 😂

Chocolate is proof that God loves us! You're *awesome* Dr. berg...thanks for all you do! XOX

I'm glad I watched this video to the end. I have a kidney stone and had no idea that dark chocolate contains oxalates and that if you're at risk for kidney stones,it's not recommended to be eaten. And I've been eating it on an almost daily basis not realizing what it contained and what that can lead to. Noone ever tells you this stuff. There should be a warning label on the candy wrappers,"Warning:Contains Oxalates.People at risk for kidney stones should not consume" Just like the warning they put on soda labels warning Phenylketonurics that the soda contains phenylalanine. (An amino acid)

Thank you Dr.Berg. I needed your approval. Now I can enjoy my chocolate 🍫

Every morning and afternoon I also drink a cup of hot water with a teaspoon full of cocoa. I also add ground almond milk to the cup! It's amazing. I also eat a Mediterranean diet and often eat garlic, onions, etc.

Everything hes saying is true. My blood pressure went down from a daily reading of 230 to 108/70 of course with other life changing improvement like daily exercise and healthy eating. . Ive notice that my scars have disappeared skin texture is soft and smooth and even my eyes clearer and can see better. I eat 100% everyday

What about Nutella?

Love dark chocolate with a glass of coconut milk as a dessert... But always make sure to check the labels, because soy is put in sometimes😒

I used to take one square of dark chocolate and suck on before having my cup of coffee but that was mainly for the coffee to taste even better rather than being healthy. I might pick that up one day again. I only drink one cup every other day since Im pretty sensitive to caffeine.

I have my cacao powder twice a day, I make my own chocolate, very yummy

Dr Berg. Can you please do another video for Matcha tea benefits for losing weight?

“Sugar is the sand paper on the arteries” I choked on my acv water

Delicious advice.

Im happy to obey this one! I've been on a low carb diet for a good few weeks now and I feel its doing me good but I'm still dreaming of bagels and biscuits...I'll be having a dark chocolate protein shake later though

Thank you so much Dr.Berg. Amazing information from you as usual. I'm buying only organic 85%.

Every night I make my special hot cacao drink for my hubby & I. * 1 cup almond milk & 1 cup coconut milk mixed =2 cups ☕️☕️ * 2 tablespoons of organic cacao powder * 1 tablespoon of coconut sugar * pinch of sea salt * 4500 mg of ashwaganda powder Medium heat 5 minutes on stove, blend well until smooth, pour in cup and grate fresh nutmeg on top. So far we haven’t had a problem going to sleep after. It seems to really mellow us out, especially my hubby since he’s got a very stressful job.

It's my understanding that to block oxalates from being absorbed, you can eat calcium containing foods along with the cacao. I eat some cheese or whole milk yogurt (without sugar).

Keto chocolate blend advocado and add some cacao powder it become a thick rich mousse desert so good highly recommend 👍🏿 😊

Oh goodness. I thought I was being bad on keto for eating Lillys. Love it

Great brand recommendations! I really like Lily's! Women often experience chocolate cravings prior to their periods - maybe due to increased need for nutrients like magnesium, as cocoa is rich in magnesium, and Lily's would be a great option. It's too bad that most women try to fight against these cravings vs. listening to the body!

Bought 4 bars of lily's dark chocolate and hu mint dark chocolate bars after watching this video. Im so happy I can indulge my sweet tooth in a healthier way.

Went 99% eventually and I gotta say, my diet has completely transformed ever since. I can taste actual sugar and oil in good now and get headaches if I consume too much of either which is actually a good thing so I am quite content.

I've been a fan of this living style and the resaults are positive in all areas.

I just ate 2 bars of 100% trinitario chocolate from the home of some of the best chocolate in the world in Trinidad & Tobago and giving it to my heart warrior toddler. Thing is we grow and make this an had to really search to find 100% dark as they have so many low fat and up to 70% options. So happy turns out the 100% is cheaper than the rest of them and you get even more!

Yes, yes, yes!!!!!! 🍫 I’m so addicted to 80% dark chocolate

Very well deserved the great amount of subscribers you get every day ..amazing 👏👍

Drinking hot cacao with herbs every morning ☀ Thank you for this ♥

Your my favourite Dr.... Your confirming why I must always eat what I love.

Thank you Dr. Berg. I love dark chocolate. I eat unsweetened with just a little semisweet chocolate melted down mixed together and put it in the refrigerator. I'm going to try it with stevia.

WE LOVE YOU DOC🌺🌼🌻🌸 thanks for all your information

I think you need to include cocoa powder in with dark chocolate as to benefits. Cocoa powder doesn't contain as much fat and has no sugar.

Just got some organic 90% dark from my local coop! Going to try not to overeat it when I break fast today.

Since cancer treatment chocolate tastes like cardboar. I will try organic! Thank you for the video😀

* Immediately reaches for his Purdy box of hazelnut chocolate hedgehogs * "Wait...what? No? DARK chocolate?? Hmm...okay then." *puts them away *

watched your other chocolate video and just want more reason to eat chocolate without guilt

I always have at least 6 x 100g bars of dark chocolate ( 85%) in my pantry... Hell of a snack for me... Im glad dr berg reads my mind

Seriously, I saw an improvement in my skin after eating 85% cocoa chocolate in three days!

Awesome! I love Lily's sea salt caramel and almonds bars! I eat a serving size a few times a week!

I've been eating 100% organic dark chocolate every day for a month, and I can tell a difference in my overall health.

the other day I bought a lindt 99 percent dark chocolate. I thought I would take just a bite and then leave it and forget about it all together. and this bite was quite bitter. But something about this chocolate made me come back for more.. I finally finished the whole bar in about 3 days. I also liked combining it with grapes. And now I crave this chocolate, I'm going to buy more tomorrow.. what is going on?? what is in this dark chocolate that got me so hooked?

I was soo tired and sleepy the past 3 days and after having big amount of choclate i have so much energy omg

I started consuming cacao a few months ago. They taste great plus all these benefits Dr Berg has shared with us!

Thank you Dr. Berg. As an young dentist, I admire your detailed explanation. Keep going forward.

Try this: Pour some heavy whipping cream over some chopped strawberries (if you're okay eating berries). Then add some of Trader Joes Organic Completely Cacao Chips (unsweetened) on top... the perfect dessert.

Recently, a report about lead and chromium contamination in dark chocolate and cacao. I'd like to hear your take on this.

These are the kind of videos I like seeing 😂

Just a heads up - Choc Zero typically uses Soluble Corn Fiber, and the chocolate covered popcorn from Lillys also uses it. I personally enjoy the Lilly's peanut butter cups and their chocolate bars! The chocolate chips are good too!

Next time I'll try Lily's. Used to react allergic when eating regular chocolate.

Number one hero, I love chocolate but have yet to find a non bitter tasting dark chocolate! 🇬🇧♥️

I love the Lily brand of dark chocolate. Glad you also eat it Dr. Berg!

It's already too late and you're making me crave chocolate lol

Dr. Berg, I used to consume dark chocolate every day. However, I now limit myself to one small bar per week due to the recent finding (December 2022, Consumer Reports) that much of the dark chocolate for retail has potentially dangerous levels of lead and cadmium.

I hadn't seen this video and I do keto but today I saw some dark chocolate at a store, I though I shouldn't but I had the urge to buy some so I did, got home and tried a bit feeling guilty tasted awesome! Then I googled it and saw Dr bergs video it made my day!

Started eating the Lily's 93% chocolate bars to supplement any chocolate cravings (usually once or twice a month) a while back because it looked like it wasn't garbage like other bars. Glad to know that Lily's is actually a well known and liked brand. Thought it was a lesser-known off brand, lol. But I do really like those bars and that they definitely fulfil that craving while making me feel confident that I did myself a nutritional service, especially since I do have a concern that I don't get enough iron in my diet.

Finally, there is one thing Dr. allows me to eat and I like it.

I have started making hot chocolate, one cup a day, with 1/2 milk, 1/2 water, 1 TBSP honey, and about a tsp of cocoa. I don't measure, so these are estimates. I'm not a sugar eater, so use honey for coffee, too. I find that the one cup of hot chocolate a day (you can make it cold, too, just after it's made on the stove and cools down, put it in the refrigerator for later), satisfies my wanting anything sweet, and it really hits the spot for after dinner or before bed. It doesn't bother my sleep, but it might bother some others. If your child is eating too much candy, try the hot chocolate with honey and see if you can wean him off the candy/sweetened cereals.

Cacao nibs are the best ,but be careful they might break your teeth . I grind them in my coffee grinder and add it to my coffee in the morning. Gives me energy and happiness 😊

Signed up to your course 🙌🏼 I think it’s so important for people to be educated about their immune system and what they can do to strengthen it. Enough of this fear 💪🏻 from the MSM our bodies are amazing God given miracles. Thank you Dr Berg, instead of browsing through things that are making me fearful I’m going to be absorbed in your course and excellent informative videos. God bless you 🙏🏻

dear dr. Berg, i consume 90% dark from Lindt, it's not organic though.

I am consuming every night as a dessert one avocado with cacao(table spoon )and cream….sleeping is going down the drain…thanks for letting me know that the reason is cacao in the evening 👍

..., unknowingly i was doing a right thing .... makes me feel even better ...

Dr. Berg, you need to get on these young people’s podcasts & help spread the word. You & Thomas Deleur helped me realize the benefits of fasting & keto

Your posts give wonderful and very well researched health awareness in a way which is so easy to understand. Much appreciated Dr Berg

Thank you so much Dr Berg. I love your videos n have learnt a lot from them. One question to ease my mind on cocoa powder, does the cadmium content pose any possible risks? I came just came to read/know about this. Appreciate your feedback. TQVM.

I get heart palpitations from chocolate, sometimes extreme ones. It sucks because i really love chocolate and was a bit addicted to it. I kept eating it even with the palpitations but then it got so bad that i had to stop because i feared i would get a heart attack. Its strange because it only became a problem in my 30's. In my younger years i could eat all the chocolate i want without any problems.

I like putting just cocoa nibs in plain yogurt as a granola replacement. Just a little stevia and Vanilla or a few berries and it makes for a good snack.

Every food has ups and downs. There is no food that's 100% healthy. Even water can have heavy metals and microplastic. I love chocolate. There may be some oxalates but the countless benefits outweigh the downsides.

I have been a lifelong lover of chocolate and I am loving this presentation !

Thanks for de video dr. If I have a liver inflammation does cacao can affect it more?. thanks again
