Dark chocolate sales have reportedly doubled over the last two years in the U.K. according to information supplied by consumer analysts Mintel.
Total sales are now standing at approximately 170 million dollars. Earlier Health and Wellness blog I reported about the health benefits of eating dark chocolate against ordinary milk chocolate. It seems that in the United Kingdom people have become more aware of plain chocolate’s healthier image.
It seems that more people are aware that dark chocolate contains antioxidants which can help in the fight against cancer. In some restaurants dark chocolate bars are being served as an accompaniment to wine.
However as much as you love chocolate, it can still be fattening so don’t use the healthier image as an excuse to eat more chocolate. Instead try to eat less, but simply switch from the more milk containing varieties to the darker chocolate instead.
It would be interesting to see if these figures coincide with trends from other countries.

Indeed, not all chocolate is created equal. I’ve been taking Xocai - The world’s first healthy chocolate - for some time now manufactured by MXI Corporation. After my first 3 weeks of taking this certified, clinically and scientfically supported healthy chocolate, the eczema on my hand, which I have endured for years, completely went away! Another friend of mine who suffered from psoriasis on his arm went on the product. In less than one month, 95% of his condition disappeared and within the first two weeks the itching that had historically driven him “nuts” completed dissipated. And finally, another friend of mine who is diabetic went from an A1C score, which measure blood glucose levels, of 12 to 6.8! He has now reduced his insulin injections after consulting with his doctor and he is ecstatic that he can now have his chocolate and eat it too!
