Truth about Chocolates
Are you a chocolate lover? Here are some interesting “facts” about chocolates that I’ve recently received in my e-mail.
The author who composed this fun facts is definitely trying very hard to justify herself that chocolate is healthy and there is no harm in indulging:
Fact 1: Chocolate is extracted from beans of the cocoa plant. Beans are vegetable.
Fact 2: Sugar is extracted from sugar beat. The sugar beat is a vegetable.
Therefore, chocolate is a vegetable !
Let’s spin the theory further:
Fact 3: Chocolate bar contains milk.
Therefore, chocolate bars are healthy !
Fact 4: Raisins, cheeries, orange peels, and strawberries are in chocolate. They belong to the fruit family, so eat as much as you like.
Fact 5: Chocolate is good for stress.
Just think:
“STRESSED” read backwards means ” DESSERTS” :)
So, go indulge yourself with some delicious chocolates because they are absolutely good for you. Of course, moderation is always the key to a healthy lifestyle. Happy chocolating.

So dose that mean truffles are fungus, even in chocolate form?
I’m sure that a lot of people would agree with me on this, chocolate comes from pods. Its a vegitable, in the fact that its a plant. Its most likely a fruit. The beans are used for a lot of things. What is it about white chocolate that causes so much confusion?
