I think the biggest advantage to really dark chocolate is the bitterness will keep you from eating more than a serving, but it still taste good

AM I THE ONLY ONE WHO LOVES DARK CHOCOLATE? !?

Until a year ago I used to love white chocolate and hate dark chocolate. Now it's the opposite. And I only eat 90 or 99% chocolate. #TeamDark

Your videos are the most informative and I love how u put so much work and research into them!

I'm #teamdark. I like 70% cacao and sometimes reach for the 85%, it's the creaminess I love. If I want to go sweeter I'll reach for semi-sweet baking chips but that's as far as I go. For some reason I can taste the processiness (technical term) of milk and white chocolate so I can't get into those.

#teamdark I love 70-80% chocolate😍

take fat over sugar!

I have tasted 85% coco chocolate and they are so good !

Very informative. Awesome video.

dang. there goes my excuse for dark chocolate infused red wine as a diet /health food

Woww you put so much effort into that video!! Thanks, it was very informative :) !!!!!

WHITE CHOCOLATE IS NOT CHOCOLATE.

Perfect Research Perfectly edited !!! Kudos to you !! U put in massive amount of effotrs in ur videos 👏🏼👏🏼

I can't say enough about how good your videos are to me but really this video opened my eyes so much about chocolate misconceptions. Thank you Alyssia, i appreciate your hard work and creativity. Love you as always. #teammilk

Your videos are AMAZING! I was just diagnosed w/ type 2 diabetes. My dr said that I could either pay to see a nutritionist or watch your videos. I looked you up and you are a wealth of information. And you present it in such an organized and entertaining manor! Thank you soooo much!

I think you've got the kindest "let's be real" voice I've ever heard. You do your research and you sound educated (and talking to an educated person is always the best), and you lay out the facts without being judgmental. Watching your videos is like talking to a friend who has your best interests at heart without making you feel like shit for being how you are, lmao, and I think that's the best compliment I can give anyone. I really appreciate all of the time, effort, and energy you put into your videos. Thank you for uploading another. =)

FINALLY! Here’s the video so many of you have been waiting for. Let’s talk all about chocolate!!! PS- I’m #teamwhite :)

Thanks for the video! You're always very informative and I trust your opinions and research

In Australia there is a chocolate company called Well Naturally that uses Stevia. Their dark chocolate range is soooo divine

#teamdark because it's the tastiest and sometimes it doesn't have milk

I’m team dark all the way 85% is my “sweet” spot

I can definitely tell you put a lot of hard work into this video! I LOVE your approach toward nutrition, and you are so informative! :)

Oompa Loompa! 😃

#TeamDark

I love how informative your videos are ! Can you do a How to choose spreads video ? Like nut butter, jam, humus... thank you and keep up the good work !

You forgot to mention that cocoa treated with alkali decreases the antioxidants SIGNIFICANTLY. It's a process called dutching to reduce bitterness.

You hair looks so good! Also I just use cacao powder for my chocolate fix now. Usually in a banana shake, but it's very versatile. I love the stuff.

So much awesome information in an easy to watch hilarious video. Yesssss.

#teamdark

My friend showed me your channel a few days ago and I absolutely fell in love with it! You're a fantastic (and really charismatic ;) ) person and I just can't help but watch all of the episodes! I've been into a healthy lifestyle for a while now and since I love cooking and eating (of course) you keep on giving me more and more inspiration to use all the leftover veggies and stuff in another way (your casserole is a hit in my family) :) In addition, I would love to see a "what I eat in a day - rest day edition" and more recipes with fish or seafood in general :) Love you Xx

You are too funny I died at the oompa loompa part, I am obsessed with your channel.

#teamdark 80% is where it's at !

This was a really well-researched video. Thank you so much for doing this and taking the time to edit the crap out of this! I'm #TeamDark because they're usually the ones that are vegan =)

THIS VIDEO IS AMAZING! The information, the editing, everything! You can tell that there is a lot of work and effort put into this video! Loved it! :)

75-80% is as far as I'll go for eating, but if I'm making brownies I get as dark as I can afford at that time (usually 85-90%). I find that they taste so much richer and more indulgent when they're make with darker chocolate. As far as eating goes, I'm lactose intollerant, so it's rare I go over the reccomended serving. Won't even touch white.

I appreciate the video and information, but just a friendly but honest piece of feedback. I would prefer you not do the helium voice-very hard to understand and honestly a little annoying.

#TEAMDARK! My go to chocolate is the Ghiradelli 72% dark. I eat one square (not even a full serving) after lunch every. Single. Day. I also really like Green & Black Organic 86% dark. I wish I could find those in squares. Harder to stick to the smaller portions though.

To get the benefits without the drawbacks, stick to (non dutched) cocoa powder. Zero fat and added sugar. I use it on my frozen bananas with nuts.

Last time I went to the grocery store craving some chocolate... But I came back with bare hand coz of the confusion... Thank you soooo much

#teamdark 4 da win! 😂😂😂

100% chocolate is delicious, it's like having a chocogasm! I love it!

I know she didn't mention it, but am I the only one who absolutely loves 92% cocoa chocolate?

Such an awesome informational video! I love these types of videos you do. I consider myself a foodie and pretty "healthy" but you always teach me something. Loved the Oompa Loompa!

#teamwhite but why not just make dark chocolate covered pumpkin seeds?

Team Dark👍🏻☺️

finally this video is here😊, dark chocolate is my favorite ever. i love 85% and 90%, whenever i have oatmeal i bake it in the oven so the chocolate melts...its literal heaven

Cocoa powder is the best option, it has all the antioxidants and minerals with no saturated fat or sugar, and you can mix it in anything.

I'm #TeamWhite, but since on my health binge... I' m a lover of 70% bittersweet. It's actually more filling than milk. After 2-4 bars I'm done (And I love to eat!)

#TeamDark I'm actually in the odd percentage that can eat bitter baking bars whole... was never a fan of milk, I think cadbury anything gives me a headache, which was a total lifesaver when I went Vegan 😂 but to each their own

I had 100 dark and I’m never going back to milk chocolate i love it

You are so wonderfully entertaining and informative to boot! Tried and failed to like dark chocolate, so I've decided to rarely indulge in whatever chocolate I feel like. With the ongoing chocolate nutrition debates, I have grown to enjoy fruit as a sweet above all the rest. Those strawberries are amazing enough on there own. Thanks for teaching me how to read/compare nutrition labels and for another amazing video!

I am #TeamDark!

I loved white as a child but now I'm disgusted by it. Milk is for little cows not for humans!

You are a legend. I love how you explain everything. It all makes so much sense to me now and I had no clue about how to read the labels. We have the 100g thing on our labels in Ireland but now I can read the labels and understand them. Thanks so much

With regards to your comment on pumpkin seeds, I buy chocolate bark from the store that is 70% cacoa AND has pumpkin seeds so it's pretty high in iron for a small serving. Also, I put raw cacao in many things (like homemade frozen yogurt) and it's so good. It also means there's less fat and more fiber, protein, and minerals.

So is it healthy or not ?

#teamdark all the way! I think I might be the only person who can actually enjoy that 100% lol

Do you have this where you are? I'm in Mexico and I go to a store called "Chocolate Mayordomo" where I buy 100% cocoa beans ground up chunky. They run it through a machine that (somehow) grinds it up finer and melts it into liquid form. I take it home, add a little bit of stevia powder to taste, spread it out on a pizza pan (greased with a bit of coconut oil just in case), let it cool, break it up into pieces and store it in a container in the fridge. This is my idea of HEALTHY dark chocolate and I eat as much of the stuff as I want each and every day (on a ketovore diet, by the way). Great video! THANKS ;)

I am all about eating clean and healthy, but I will never, even in a million year, or for whatever reason, give up on eating chocolate... Because that's how I am enjoying life

thanks for this video! #teamdark

Pumpkin seeds!! 😂😂😂😂

I love chocolate and once gave it up for a year. Uhhh. Dark chocolate is a better choice so I try to moderate my chocolate.Don't know much about cocoa nibs. Thanks for helping me refine this choice.

when i crave Chocolate in a keto diet I go for a 100% unsweetened Hershey's baking bar ...1 OZ (2 squares) with a cup of monk fruit sweetened green tea to mallow the taste a little bit...but I was wondering if in One Serving it has a Total Carbs of 4 grams and a Fiber of 2 grams what are the remaining Carbs if it was Zero Sugar!!?

So what did you do with all of that chocolate after this video? By the way, #TeamWhite.

#darkchocolate

My Favorite Is Ghirardelli: Intense Dark / Moonlight Mystique 92% Has Basically: 2 Grams Sugar, 4 Grams Dietary Fiber 3 Grams Of Proteins & Serving 3 Squares, Each Square Is 32 Grams x 3 Squares = 96 Grams!

Brilliant video! I never thought about this before! The comparison of nutrients was fantastic!!

#teammilkdarkwhite hahaha

My favourite is Godiva 72 per cent tastes lovely I highly recommend it

Cool, funny and very professional video! I appreciate your attention to detail and humor. Subscribed 💗

LOL. The red wine comment reminded me of when my Father & I went on an eat clean diet years ago. He still had his red wine, telling me, "its ok, its healthy."

I agree. Dark chocolate should mainly be used for cooking as they probably balance sweet and bitter flavors of a dessert

Putting cacao nibs in a smoothie adds such a nice texture :)

My favourite dark chocolate is "MOSER ROTH" (85%). Per 100g it only contains 13g sugar. I tried 99% chocolate,it tasted really disgusting. I have coconut-sugar chocolate (75% and 92%) and I love both of them!

Best reviewer ever! Keep it up!! 😇😇🥰

Maybe not any healthier, but I love making my own chocolate bars: 80g coconut oil, 40g butter, 40g raw cacao powder, 2 Tbsp coconut sugar, 1 tsp vanilla and a dash of salt. Heat all until just melted, blend, pour on dinner plate and freeze until hard.

I just made chocolate with Cacao butter and powder with Stevia and is rare. Like at first is so bitter and then it tastes sweet.

There is an episode of "cooked" on Netflix that shows exactly how chocolate is made, my husbands mind was blown! It was a great mini series so I'd watch all 4 episodes!

I really prefer milk chocolate, but not stuff that sweet. I've found a milk chocolate, the store-brand one from Wegman's, where the milk chocolate bar has the same sugar as the dark stuff. For me, this is perfect, the sweetness level of a dark chocolate in a milk bar.

This really is a fantastic video. You broke this down in the simplest terms. Thank you so, so much.

Dark chocolate is amazing! I've started replacing some morning coffee or matcha with some unsweetened cocoa powder and hot water. Just a little sugar and milk (same as you'd make coffee) and it tastes amazing

Thank you so much for all of this research and making all the information understandable. This is a TON of work, and I just wanted to thank you for all of the hard work you put into each and every video.

Great job!!!! This is why moderation is such a key. I try and use chocolate as only an added part of foods I make rather than the main ingredient. It helps keep those fats and sugars down since they are the bits of the pyramid we are meant to have the least of.

What about the dutching process--- some 90% dark chocolate is alkali treated and as such losing many of the flavonoid benefits. Tread carefully.

Im only looking cuz i was late in class and had to learn the benefits of dark chocolate ;-;

I add 2 squares (1/2 oz) 100% cocao bar and coconut milk and cinnamon to my morning coffee

I really really love how well thought out and educational your videos are. Thanks a lot, I'll be looking at the labels very carefully and the point about honesty was great too!

You're videos are so informative! I can always appreciate a channel that does their research to inform viewers. Keep up the good work!!

Can u do a video about the chocolates they sell at Trader Joe's? The bars and the chips :) Thank you! I love your channel! :D

Thank you. Great Job Kid. Keep up the great work, and videos. Good Friday to you. Blessings,

I seriously love these educational videos they are very good.

Every day I have porridge for breakfast. 3 days a week I have it plain, 2 days a week I have berries, 1 day a week I have mixed fruit and on Sundays I have 72% dark chocolate melted into it

I'm one of those people who consider 85% chocolate not dark enough :D I prefer 100% raw cacao in my Kefir shake, when you combine really sour and bitter foods they actually start to taste kinda sweet :) Anyway, superb video, well done!

Love dark chocolate, but eating to much at once cripples my fingers and get leg cramps over night. Does it affects tendons and some muscle?

You are adorable! Love your style, thanks for breaking it down for us chocolate lovers!

so I just found your channel and I love your videos! You just got yourself another fan.

This was great. Good info and very well broken down. However, the best part was the oompa loompa bit at the end! Lol

My favourite is milk chocolate or white. But, I'm not really a chocolate lover. I buy dark...it is great for when I do crave chocolate and one or 2 squares is perfect. If I go for milk I'll eat the whole bar and want more.

i used dark chocolate 90% cocoa from LINDT this one taste better and worth the price .

I am in the "dark camp".I always see it as an indulgence and I very occassionally indulge.When I do, it is usually Endangered Spieces brand,70%.I am especially fond of the mint flavored bar:))
