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

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.

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 ;)

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?

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 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:))
