Top chocolate myths
• Dark chocolate contains fewer calories than milk chocolate Both dark and milk chocolate contain roughly the same amount of calories per 100g, which is about 550kcals. But dark chocolate contains more cocoa, which has health benefits.
• Chocolate gives you acne Some people feel their skin health is more sensitive to chocolate, so they prefer to avoid it, but there is no evidence that the two are linked.
• Chocolate causes migraines Chocolate does contain small amounts of tyramine and phenylethylamine - amino acids from the protein in chocolate - both of which can trigger a migraine. However, there is no evidence to suggest that chocolate alone can cause them.
• Chocolate makes you fat It all depends on how much you eat. Eating a large chocolate bar every day on top of your usual daily intake could lead to some weight gain. However, as part of a healthy and balanced diet including 30 minutes of exercise five times a week, chocolate as a treat will not make you fat.
