  • 2 tsp of sugars per serving
    This includes both naturally occurring and added sugars. According to the USDA, every man woman and child in the US consumes approximately 80 pounds of caloric sweeteners per year! That works out to 25 tsp of sugars per day, or 400 extra calories!
  • Yay! No artificial colors
    Good choice! No artificial colors in this according to our last product update. Gum, mints and candy, while you're only consuming just a little bit, can have some added elements you don't want - like artificial colors. Parents of children sensitive to artificial colors report reactions from tiny doses. Many people on special diets avoid them and others are actually allergic to them. And the good news is that this product has none! ------------ Sources: Feingold BF. Hyperkinesis and learning disabilities linked to artificial food flavors and colors. Am J Nurs 1975; 75-5: 797-803.

  • Serving size is really small here
    The standard serving size for chocolate candy is 40 grams. This product has a serving that is significantly smaller. If you only consume 1 serving - that's great. But if you eat more than one...
  • 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. In general, milk chocolates have a very small amount of antioxidants, so you should opt for dark chocolate with a high percentage of cocoa. If your chocolate has been "alkalized", that means it has undergone processing to remove its bitter taste. Unfortunately, the bitter taste comes from those very same antioxidants...
  • 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.
