Healthy Chocolate?

I have loved chocolate all my life. When I was a kid, my mother, being Danish, took us to Denmark quite a few times. My first visit was when I was 6. We were introduced to alot of different foods, and one of which I think every kid would love. They actually had chocolate sandwiches. My mother would buy a box of sandwich chocolate. It was thin slices of chocolate the shape of a half of a slice of the "brown" Danish bread. She would spread the bread with butter and then place the chocolate on top. I didn't like butter on my sandwiches so I just had the chocolate on the bread. I tell you, my siblings and I couldn't have been happier eating a chocolate sandwich for lunch.

Last year, my mother went back to Denmark and brought me back (for old times sake)a box of this sandwich chocolate. Even though I still love chocolate...the chocolate sandwiches weren't much of a big hit with me anymore. My own kids didn't even try it, they just ate the chocolate pieces as is, as did I.

As I continue to eat chocolate, I would love to believe that what we read about chocolate being healthy for us is true. Unfortunately, the chocolate that we love to eat is not as healty as earlier thought. Read more about healthy chocolate
