Chocolate is the favorite food of many girls, love to eat is true, but some strange and strange words about chocolate, or do not believe it.

Myth # 1: Chocolate goes bad when you put it in the fridge.

Truth: Chocolate won't spoil if stored in the fridge, but it should be eaten as soon as possible.

In terms of the composition of chocolate, chocolate can be divided into two categories: one is pure chocolate, and the other is complex chocolate made by replacing cocoa butter (including refined fats, vegetable fats, etc.). If chocolate is stored in the refrigerator, icing will appear on the surface of the chocolate, or the oil will cause frost.

If the chocolate is stored in a humid environment, the sugar in the chocolate is easily dissolved by the water on the surface, and the water evaporates, leaving sugar crystals behind. Even if the chocolate is sealed and not opened, moisture will still seep through the folds or corners of the outer packaging, resulting in a thin layer of off-white icing covering the surface of the chocolate.

So it's not accurate to say that chocolate will go bad if you put it in the fridge. If the temperature is too high in the summer, such as more than 30 degrees Celsius, chocolate should be stored in the refrigerator freezer. It is only important to note that when the chocolate is taken out of the low temperature refrigerator, if it is not eaten as soon as possible, because the surface is cold, it will cause the water vapor in the room temperature to condense on the surface, affecting the appearance and taste.

Myth # 2: Eating a small amount of dark chocolate with 70% or more cocoa butter each day can help you lose weight.

Truth: Chocolate is a very energy-dense food. Dark chocolate may contain less sodium and sugar than milk or white chocolate, but it's still high in fat (especially saturated fat). Although some studies have shown that dark chocolate may suppress appetite, this does not mean that it is a "diet food".

According to statistics,100 grams of dark chocolate contains 599 calories and 43 grams of fat (24 grams of saturated fat), accounting for 66% of the daily fat intake, and the saturated fat content has exceeded the daily intake.

It is surprising that dark chocolate is so high in fat (especially saturated fat), but people with low BMI consume more dark chocolate daily than people who are overweight or obese. First of all, dark chocolate has lower sodium and sugar content than milk chocolate and white chocolate. Second, the high levels of saturated fatty acids mean that just a little dark chocolate can significantly increase feelings of fullness (and possibly happiness) and suppress appetite; Finally, the polyphenols rich in dark chocolate have been shown to have anti-obesity and diabetes effects in some animal and in vitro experiments. Although the evidence from human trials is still very thin, it is clear that eating some dark chocolate every day does not necessarily make you gain weight.

As for trying to lose weight on dark chocolate alone, it is not very realistic. Weight loss is still to control the combination of reasonable diet and moderate exercise, eating a moderate amount of dark chocolate is not harmful, but it is not a panacea for weight loss.
