1. Pick the polyphenol-rich dark chocolate as not all chocolate is created equal. It’s the polyphenol-rich dark chocolate that contains antioxidants, and the higher percentage of cocoa that yields health advantages.
2. Read the nutrition facts to ensure you are getting the most from the chocolate.
3. Choose dark chocolate that has at least as much fibre as sugar.
4. Check if the dark chocolate has been processed with alkali (this process makes
cocoa less bitter but eliminates the chocolate’s health properties). Opt for a non-
processed one.
5. If sugar-free dark chocolate is available that is sweetened with stevia or other natural sugar, opt for it.
6. Eat it in moderation. If you eat too much of it, your blood sugar levels will fluctuate for sure.
