Mmm, Chocolate

This chart is from a SparkPeople.com article. It gets a little political, but the idea is that, given all of the good press chocolate has received, there are still some important considerations to be made.

Good for Your Health Leave it on the Shelf
"70% Dark Chocolate" "Milk chocolate"
Cocoa butter Partially hydrogenated oil
Cocoa liquor Natural or artificial color
Sugar or cane juice Corn syrup
Dairy-free Milk, milk fat, or lactose
Cocoa powder Dutch processed or Alkalized
Thick, tight wrapper Thin wrapper or exposed to light
Glossy, dark or smooth texture Blotchy, streaky or rough texture
Fair Trade and Organic Conventional (no distinction)
