I remember when I first learned that chocolate has some health benefits. I could not believe that chocolate contains antioxidants.

They have sent years and thousands of dollars researching the health benefits. Eating chocolate on a regular basis will help lower the chance of getting cancer and heart disease. The antioxidants will also lower your LDL cholesterol.

Chocolate will also add beneficial iron, and magnesium to your body. Learning these interesting facts about chocolate has been a lot of fun. Looking up these facts can be a terrific way to pass the time. The downside is that, I often find myself looking up more interesting facts about chocolate than I do studying for an upcoming test. I can not believe that the chip was not introduced until 1939.

Nestle was the first company to introduce the chocolate chip. Which are still the most popular chocolate chip used in most chocolate chip cookie recipes. I also have a hard time believing that the first, milk chocolate bar was not introduced to consumers until 1938.

Believe it or not Nestle was also the first to bring this bar to market. Bring these different chocolate formats to market contributed to the overall, chocolate consumption. Americans consume a large amount of chocolate on a regular basis; however, they consume less than most Europeans consume, especially the Swiss.

Americans consume 2.8 billion pounds of candy a year. This is split between candy and chocolate. When you think of the amount of chocolate this equates too, you may not want to know all of the interesting facts about chocolate.

Do not let this fact scare you away, chocolate is still great! Did you know that the term white chocolate is a misnomer? There is absolutely no chocolate in white chocolate. In order to be classified as chocolate, you need to have some chocolate in your product.

If you are one of those individuals watching your caffeine intake, you do not necessarily have to give up chocolate. Chocolate has less caffeine in it than tea. This is a great fact for most chocolate lovers. The best fact out of them all is that there is scientific proof that chocolate does not cause acne, nor does it make acne worst.

These are all old wives tales, to get you to stop eating chocolate. Shame on them for telling us these tales!
Let’s eat!
