Learn about "chocolate health benefits"
Chocolate enjoys a health halo due to its antioxidant properties.But it is also high in sugar and VERY HIGH in saturated fats. So you should limit yourself to LESS THAN the recommended serving size.But the antioxidant levels vary greatly depending on its processing.

Learn about corn syrup, found here
Corn syrup is often used as a sweetener in processed food. It is NOT THE SAME as high fructose corn syrup. Don't be fooled when looking up the amount of sugar a product contains if corn syrup is listed as an ingredient. This is because corn syrup contains 50% sugar, and 50% of another form of carbohydrate known as "oligosaccharides", which is pretty close to sugar.If a product has less sugar than you think it should, but contains corn syrup in the ingredient list, you'll know that the missing carbs are those oligosaccharides, not much better.

Learn about soy lecithin, found here
Lecithins are oily substances that occur naturally in plants (soybeans) and animals (egg yolks). Soy lecithin possesses emulsification properties. This means it can keep a candy bar "together" by making sure that the cocoa and the cocoa butter don't separate. It is also used in bakery items to keep the dough from sticking and to improve its ability to rise.
