It is also known that such sweetness can lead to vascular spasm.

In addition, it can cause increased bile flow. Given this, people with gallbladder disease should be especially careful when consuming this product.

The nutritionist noted that dark chocolate should not be eaten if you have an intolerance or allergy. It should also not be given to children under 3 years old.

In the absence of contraindications, such a delicacy will benefit the body.

The nutritionist emphasized that it is better to eat no more than 30 grams of chocolate per day.
