Now for
Facts about Chocolate
: Everything in moderation
we always say. But there are a few things you may want to consider before
chomping into you next chocolate snack..
There are about 5 to 10
milligrams of caffeine in one ounce of bittersweet chocolate, 5 milligrams
in milk chocolate, and 10 milligrams in a six-ounce cup of cocoa; by
contrast, there are 100 to 150 milligrams of caffeine in an eight-ounce cup
of brewed coffee.
Chocolate has long been
heralded for its value as an energy source. Think of it this way: a single
chocolate chip provides sufficient food energy for an adult to walk 150
feet; hence, it would take about 35 chocolate chips to go a mile, or 875,000
for an around-the-world hike.
But that is bittersweet news,
while
solid chocolate certainly is high in fat, just over half the calories in
bittersweet, semisweet, and milk chocolate come from fat; so moderation
needs to definitely be observed. And even though the cocoa
butter in chocolate is mostly saturated fat, studies have shown that it
might raise blood cholesterol.
Although chocolate is
not an aphrodisiac, as the ancient Aztecs believed, chocolate contains
phenylethylamine (PEA), a natural substance that is reputed to stimulate the
same reaction in the body as falling in love. Hence, heartbreak and
loneliness are great excuses for chocolate overindulgence.
It's a common myth that
chocolate aggravates acne. Experiments conducted at the University of
Pennsylvania and the U.S. Naval Academy found that consumption of chocolate
-- even frequent daily dietary intake -- had no effect on the incidence of
acne. And Ten percent of U.S. Recommended Daily Allowance of iron is found
in one ounce of baking chocolate or cocoa; sorry, not milk chocolate.
Now some not so good
news. Lecithin
is an emulsifier used to reduce the viscosity of good healthy chocolate. It
serves to lessen the amount of cocoa butter required in the manufacturing
process. Today lecithin is the generic name given to a whole
class of fat-and-water soluble compounds called phospholipids. Levels of
phospholipids in soybean oils range from 1.48 to 3.08 percent, which is
considerably higher than the 0.5 percent typically found in vegetable oils,
but far less than the 30 percent found in egg yolks. Soybean lecithin comes
from sludge left after crude soy oil goes through a "degumming" process. It
is a waste product containing solvents and pesticides and has a consistency
ranging from a gummy fluid to a plastic solid. Before being bleached to a
more appealing light yellow, the color of lecithin ranges from a dirty tan
to reddish brown.
Sorry about that, but un-fooled around with, by man, chocolate is still your
best choice.
Chocolate
can be lethal to dogs. Theobromine, a toxic ingredient that stimulates the
cardiac muscle and the central nervous system, causes chocolate's toxicity.
About two ounces of milk chocolate can be poisonous for a 10-lb puppy.
Unsweetened (baker's) chocolate contains 8-10 times the amount of
Theobromine as milk chocolate. Semi-sweet chocolate falls roughly in between
the two for Theobromine content. White chocolate contains Theobromine, but
in such small amounts that Theobromine poisoning is unlikely. Caffeine is
present in chocolate, but less than Theobromine.
