Nope.

 

[stevesmi]

again i have to stress to people to actually read what is in candy bars.

Ingredients: Milk chocolate (sugar, milk, chocolate, cocoa butter, lactose, milk fat, soy lecithin, PGPR, emulsifier, vanillin, artificial flavor

the amount of actual natural chocolate in that thing is 0%. when i was in the caribbean i actually went to a farm that made chocolate and ate actual off the plant chocolate and it was EXTREMELY BITTER. that pure chocolate does have health benefits no different than any plant. but you won't find that in the store cause nobody would buy it

The stuff you want is, as Stevesmi says, bitter as f**k. It's there in the shops marked '70%'.

You can get antioxidants from many other sources. Definitely stay away from candy. There is a huge difference between that and the dark chocolate referred to in studies.

What benefits do you think youd get? There is nothing beneficial but a whole lot of negatives

 

[Tazz]

by chocolate is good for you, they mean that really dark dark cocoa that is to disgusting to even enjoy

No chowing down on kit kats won't help you...

It's great that you're interested in the benefits of chocolate. While studies suggest that dark chocolate, in particular, can have some health benefits, including improving heart health and possibly even boosting libido, it's important to remember that moderation is vital. KitKats and Hershey's bars have a lot of added sugar and other ingredients that might not be as beneficial.
