Great review! Thank you! I just found Hu dark chocolate bars, they have everything you mentioned, except they are 70%. I haven't tried them yet, but reviews look great!
Alter eco? Is that good?
“you’re not gonna ate the whole bar”
me: chuckles nervously
i get that LOL
Same! lol
What is a good % that still taste good but healthy. I recently tried 90% and it was out right nasty.🤢
I'd say 78% is still pretty acceptable
I have 90 and 99 percent lindt dark chocolates and I am loving it 😍. It makes me feel positive and stress free.
I’m. Currently eating 99% and I love it 🥰
Wow where u find it? I only find 74% max :(
Rami Oumera I’m odd
Did you find yourself ramping it up to 100% as you got used to the flavor or did you just preferred it from the beginning? Thanks :) and Enjoy!!
I had today 100% and the taste was unique! mine is called Ombar ❤️
Yea Lindt has all 70 to 100 percent ❤️
I prefer 90 or 85
Currently having 90 percent ❣️❣️
I put a square of it in my morning coffee.
Lynn Ohrel the problem it doesnt melt like a poweder
@@ohyeah732 yeah when you finish the drink, a dark chocolate lump waits for you l oo l
Anything above 70% is bitter to me, so I thought, "If I want the true benefits of dark chocolate, then I'll have to go 100%". And rightly so, there's no point to eating dark chocolate if it contains sugar. Now, I'm at 100% & I haven't looked back since.
Isn’t 100% just cocoa?
@@uatom yep pure cocoa and when I first took a bite, I realised that I regret buying it xD but It's healthy tho~
90% and upwards, use the Dutch Process. An alkali is used to reduce the bitterness, but removes most of the good benefits. So 85% is best for me.
I would love if lindt wouldnt put alkali in that.
90% is sweet spot for me 100% take like sadness to my tongue
Sure, I open the wrapper and eat ONE SQUARE! Yeah. OK. Got it!
Ha ha! That's actually exactly what I do though!
Sometimes I'll have it with a fresh date (tastes like a brownie) or a spoonful of raisins (tastes like Raisinets).
@@fantasticvoyage2989 You have far more self-control than I do! I just don't buy chocolate anymore.
@@questfortruth665
LOL! My mother actually always says that about me! 😅
@@fantasticvoyage2989 👍
Dark Chocolate feels like love. Only 6-7% better. 😀
Thanks for the info; I eat Lindt supreme dark chocolate every day, which is 90% cocoa! I don’t know if it’s a coincidence or not, but since I started doing this I’ve been sleeping better!
Dark chocolate is rich in magnesium, which aids sleep, so it makes sense!
I like 100 percent chocolate I recommend lindt brand
I ate a whole bar. 🍫 😁
Great video! Lindt 78% has an amazingly high potassium content
Lindt dark chocolate with sea salt is my favorite. I keep it handy for when my sugar goes too low & I get dizzy. Simple Truth brand from Krogers taste nasty. 😝
72% cacao for us! Agreed, got to read the ingredients.
At least 70% of Cocoa I hear?
Anymore is bitter to Me.
Is Soy lecthin really that bad?
Most have it.
I currently enjoy LINDT Excellence 100% cacao bar. It's the healthiest dark chocolate 🍫.
It's the best.
It’s actually not , it’s been alkalised
Amen sister God bless you. For the truth speaking !
85 is a bit strong for me but I still like it. My favourite is probably around 75-80
Jim Lim is 75 healthy ?
@@Jayy_sad I think so
I eat the Lindt 85, a couple squares a day, after lunch and dinner. Anything less than 85 is too sweet for me now. I used to love Green & Black's, which is organic, but haven't been able to find it in stores lately. It is on Amazon, but in bulk, and I'm also concerned about it melting en route. I've tried Endangered Species, and for some reason, it tastes like a zoo to me, like it kinda smells like a zoo. Maybe that's psychological? 🤷
I'm a woman, and I do consume soy in moderation. Japanese people have a lot of soy in their diet, and they have less thyroid disease than we do, and the rate of breast cancer among Japanese women is much lower too.
Dr. Weil says there's a lot of misinformation about soy online and that it's safe and healthy. Here's what he says about it in regards to thyroid disease and breast cancer in particular:
Thyroid Problems: Excess consumption of soy can affect thyroid function, but only if you have a thyroid disorder to begin with, or if you’re not getting enough iodine in your diet (a rare deficiency in the United States). If you take medication for hypothyroidism (low thyroid), and are concerned about the effect of eating two daily servings of soy, have your thyroid levels checked regularly. In otherwise healthy individuals, studies have found no association between thyroid problems and soy consumption.
Breast cancer: Here, the idea is that high levels of isoflavones, active ingredients in soy that behave like estrogen in the body, may increase the risk of breast cancer. While high levels of isolated isoflavones may do so, it appears that the total mix of weak plant estrogens in soy protects the body by binding estrogen receptors and only partially activating them. This protection may reduce the effects of excess estrogen exposure from such external sources as meats and dairy products from hormone-treated cows as well as artificial chemicals and industrial pollutants that act as foreign estrogens. Japanese women, whose diets contain a significant amount of soy foods, have only one-fifth the rate of breast cancer that occurs among Western women. In fact, a 2022 analysis of research conducted since 2003 revealed an inverse correlation between the amount of isoflavones consumed and breast cancer occurrence in pre- and post-menopausal women; women who consumed more isoflavones showed a reduced risk of breast cancer at either stage.
Anyway, thanks for the info!
Lindt 70% is good start. 78% and 85% I can't go higher. Delicious.
I tried 85%... I just stop at 78% and enjoy 2 pieces daily 😂
90 percent Lindt dark chocolate is really tasty!
Love that one!
I saw this comment a few days ago and tried the Lindt dark 90%. This must be an acquired taste type of thing. No worries one peace a day is all I can handle.
I'm enjoying a square right now actually. I didn't like it at first but now I love it. Of course the sugary milk chocolate candy bars taste better at first, but when you start to eliminate all forms of sugar from your diet, you will find the Lindt 90% is very good. It is quite an indulgence really I will have 1 or 2 squares right before bed a few times a week. If you don't like it, give it some time while you try to eliminate other sugars. You will learn to appreciate the rich bold flavor. Like Cuban coffee. Lol
I buy 100% dark, melt it, and add a small amount (to taste) of monk fruit sweetener. I also add nuts and let it set up on a sheet tray. I grind my monk fruit in a spice grinder so it doesn’t cause the chocolate to be grainy. It is delish!
Yum, sounds great! Thanks!
But the higher you go the greater the Cadmium and Lead?
The Spanish who got the secret of preparing the cocoa kept it secret for a century long for military use. As they were ruling on Germany and Nederlands, they taught there servants how to prepare it, this how the secret got diffused. Meanwhile, the French king Louis 14th spoused a Spanish princess who insisted for her wedding ceremony cocoa drink to be served. The French chef ignoring the secret improvised by roasting the cocoa beans as coffee beans, about 1hr at 150°C and invented the chocolate. This what the legend says, as soon after a French will open a chocolate drink shop selling to the most wealth a cup for 72 shillings.
The cocoa powder as was the secret was obtained by roasting 3 days at 52°C so that the protein doesn't oxides or else with the chocolate the organism will reject the protein in form of brown stains on your skin and the cleaning effect of the cocoa as edible detergent is lost. This why avoid eating chocolate, instead in the evenings, eat a chocolate called deserts as ice cream for ex., they are made of cocoa powder.
My wife is my sweet dark chocolate bar. 😂
Im addicted to 60% girihdeli baking chips...spelling is wrong
I don't understand those who eat this with coffee because the coffee will harm your health far more than the chocolate.
The first two chocolate bars have higher levels of lead.
You said nothing about the metal’ s that are in most chocolate bars . There are chocolate bars that have a lower metal content in them .
I like the lindt with sea salt but it does not tell you the percent of chocolate.
I just ate a 95% 😩
I love the 95% one.
Black and Greens is a bangen dark chocolate bar
How about just 100% cocoa a Baker’s chocolate organic? I can eat that easily every day. I do eat a whole bar of 88% endangered species for breakfast every day
I heard the processed with alkali in the 90% lindtt kills some of the flavanols is this true ?
That is good question. Now I want to know this too...i read some research that Raw Cacao is best ( which usually comes in powder form). Some experts claim Raw Cacao is better because most of the flavanoids, minerals & vitamins etc are still present & not destroyed by processing ( which happens when raw cacoa gets made into chocolate bars). Some experts disagree. I guess you need to research & decide for yourself? After a while it gets confusing ( to me at least) . So i just enjoy both Raw Cacoa and Dark Chocolate 😅
@@lilyrosesoul0077 Isn't raw cacao very bitter? Not a chocolate enthusiast here but I do love me some dark ones. How does the taste differ between dark chocolate and raw cacao? I've never tried the latter one before.
raw is best
My new year resolution this year was to eat 2 squares of Lindt 85% dark chocolate with my morning coffee. Still going!!!
I eat 3 pieces of the 100% bar every morning with some Black Coffee, it really wakes me up.
I bought a dark chocolate bar from rite aid, it was 95%,very bitter and nasty tasting, but I'm aiming for the health benefits. I break off a small square and eat it every morning,with apple cider vinegar.
I recently started incorporating dark chocolate into my diet.
Green and blacks, 85% cocoa, organic, lovely.
ghirardelli 86%
99percent dark lover😍 im eating it right now.😎 lindth
chirardelli > lindt
where can we buy lindth? i look for it in iherb and its not in their list. fuck iherb, its becoming less and less healthy and many brands leaving their website.
Walmart lol
And in Germany where to buy it (lidl,rewe,aldi,edeka) please answer
Now if you could teach me how to eat it without throwing up, that'd be much appreciated.
I got 85% Dark Chocolate with cocoa butter -- no sugar and no additional sugars but with Stevia. Amazing!
Metal content %?
70% is pretty much milk chocolate, but if on keto you want at least 85% (90% more alkali's that 85% doesn't)
Derangedxzombie why 90% more alkali i thought it s healthier than 85%
Glad my search for "Hu" Chocolate bars led me to your channel! Highly educational! You've got yourself a NEW subscriber!
Welcome aboard!
@@FoodsThatHealYouCatherine Dark chocolate isn't healthy... sure it has no milk or coco butter , but a lot of Dark chocolate contains a lot of metals ...
Also another thing to consider when buying dark chocolate is to not buy the really really high percent dark chocolate like 95%-99%. When the percentage is that high the chocolate becomes a bakers chocolate which is more so made to be used as a Ingredient instead of something for direct consumption daily.
I found that the other day. Man that bar was nasty 🤢
@@thebigmann81 its called baking chocolate for a reason
@@thebigmann81 hahaha, i saw this comment now and just laughed…
but yeah, just drink water with it or keep it at 90%
*WORTH MENTIONING* Not only do I avoid dark chocolate with soy lecithin (all Ghirardelli has soy), I also avoid dark chocolate that is processed with alkali. The Lindt 90% Cocoa dark chocolate is processed with alkali, the 85% Lindt isn't. So I consume the 85% sparingly in my diet. We mustn't forget that dark chocolate contains amounts of lead and cadmium at levels high enough to come with a warning label in the state of California. Therefore people should be aware of the toxic chemicals found in dark chocolate. As far as I know no one has done a lab analysis to determine which brands, if any, are devoid of those toxins. But it sure would help is someone took the initiative to test all the different brands and shared the results.
As far as I know from my research : Mast organic 80% dark and Taza organic70% has the least amount of cadmium and lead.
Navitas Organics for cocoa powder with the least amount of cadmium and lead
@@emmapeel1075 I personally would rather eat flaking paint off of an old house to get my lead fix, but you do you.
@@charliesgrumma5388 : He.He !~Well I wish you the best and your brain cells too !
Lol cocoa is processed cacao with sugars and stuff added. If u want healthy chocolate look for the highest porcent of CACAO not cocoa. CACAO ok.
90 percent to 97 percent what I go for with only 2 to 3 gram of sugar no more
I eat dark chocolate every day it’s this brand called Lily’s organic sweets. The extremely dark 85 percent and the intensely dark 92 percent
Im 17 and i love the 92% chocolate i eat. I get a bar once a week and i just love it. I ferl like the more and slower i chew it the better it taste.
I like 80 to 85% percent
Green and blacks organic dark chocolate is good it has the best ingredients, they are organic bittersweet chocolate, organic cane sugar and organic coca butter and organic extract , It tastes okay
Yep, that's my hands-down favorite, wish I could find it in stores still.
I usually prefer one with Rum, it's massive amount of benefits straight after!...even wife skin looks amazing lol
50% dark chocolate is not counter productive in moderation . It’s still better than the regular milk chocolate .
yes you make a good point, it's better than milk chocolate. But the lower percent dark chocolate has high amounts of sugar which is not healthy.
but once the dark chocolate is 90%, i am quite sure the other factors such as sugar and other types of oil will already be very very low
Rescent report came out that Lindt chocolate is full of heavy metals. Make sure you research heavy metals in chocolate. It's rampant.
I’m hooked on “Nib Mor Organic DarK Chocolate 80%”
Guess what 70% is safe
yes just has a little more sugar
Make sure that you check out which brands are high in heavy metals (lead & cadmium)!
I buy the Simple Truth 85% dark chocolate bars at Harris Teeter. I eat organic as much as possible and this one is terrific!
Thankyou ❤️!
Can you provide human outcome data that demonstrates that soy "blocks your thyroid"? That's a strong claim.
Organics BLACKS chocolate is good.
*Also Watch Out For Heavy Metals*
72% cocoa dark chocolate is the one to eat everything else not recommend this is what my doctor said to me
lindt excellence dark chocolate 90% coco vs 70% coco
which is healthier?
I'm eating the touch of sea salt lindt dark chocolate and I'm a fatty
Which ones don't have lead or cadmium?
Coconut 🥥 oil u can't be serious ? ..
I wonder how much of the 92% I need to eat daily for health befits?
Sams club is actually legit. Ingredients: chocolate liquor, sugar, cocoa butter, natural flavor. Not perfect, but better than some of the high dollar stuff and it comes in different higher percentages.
What about Sunflower Lecithin? Healthline says it's good for you, among others. Also, what's the difference between artificial sugars and alternative sweeteners like Monk Fruit, Allulose or those similar natural sweeteners?
It’s still bad
I tried the first chocolate you showed and the it was so bitter I couldn’t eat it, is there dark chocolate that doesn’t have alkali in it and taste good ?
85% Lindt is my go to, it is not processed with alkalai which takes away from it's health benefits.
I am into 90% up to 99% 😍
And finally 100% you can do it 🎉
once u put lindt u lost it had soy lecithin
Yeah. Lindt 85% is my favorite for sure.
78% is pretty good. :p
Gene Lariv is 78% healthy v
I prefer the 90%
99%
Be aware of the aluminium foil. You will get plenty of toxic aluminium in your body from eating it.
How dark? Yes.
Anyone tried Vivani 100+ chocolate? I watched some Vivani videos on how the chocolate is being produced and seems like they are really professional about it
I do add 100% dark cacao to smoothies :)
Great video
Thanks!
My chocolate is okay so, thanks!
Thanks
So is Lindt 90% is ok
anything above 85% is not enjoyable at all , idc how much u like dark chocolates , that shits really bitter , u might eat a block or 2 without enjoying it but whats the point ? ur basically eating it for taste and cravings not nutrition lmao
If you cut off added sugar from your life you will find the lindt 90% super sweet. your tongue will be sensitive to sweetness even if it has little amount of sugar like lindt 90% it has 7 gr of sugar.
thats called earthy not sweet , i do eat ghirardelli 92% all the time but its not sweet nor bitter its creamy and earthy with just 3 g sugar, anything above 92% is not enjoyable.
i eat it for my sugar cravings, its better than eating a piece of cake lol
Thanks. Learned sth today. Be blessed.
What about cocoa mass? Is it bad?
Did you order some of these online?
I get them from iHerb.com
I love chocolate snobs
i take Lindt 99% Cacao, is it good and organic or not ?
organic would be ideal but not always easy to fine
I usually go to the chocolate shop because they have very dark choc and sweeten it with raw sugar, which tastes better to me 😁
Eat it with raw honey 😊
Please may I ask your opinion on whether eating dark cooking chocolate is more healthy, because it has less sugar in it ?
less sugar and no dairy
Thanks for the information
My pleasure
Lindt's says in the fine print on the back its treated with Alkali which strips all the health benefits out.
:(
90 % and up is alkalised
Please talk a bit slow.
yes this is an older video. I've slowed down in newer videos
@@FoodsThatHealYouCatherine thank you
Actually the fat in the cheese helps your body absorb the fat soluble vitamins in the broccoli
but unfortunately cheese is clogging and inflammatory. I don't recommend it at all.
Clogging? How so?
@@irocksup123 I think they mean like clogging of the arteries
Dragon Gaming i know. I’m asking her for the proof that cheese clogs arteries and how it does that. She’s making a claim that isn’t true.
I bought 90%lindt dark chocolate in that alkali is used some one telling is it gud or bad. Or i have to choose 85%. Which one is preferable
just read something bad about alkali (i forgot). go for 85%
High percentage lindt is quite bad in flavour, when i tried it i though i hate dark chocolate bec it is very bitter and tastes burned - i would recommend trying other brands and you will see 85% can be quite a treat :)
Endagered Species is good
So is the first brand you showed the healthiest?
