I’ve just discovered Lindt 90 dark Chocolate
I’ve read it’s very good for Type 2 diabetics I believe I can have 20gm per day . I’m really enjoying it as I haven’t eaten chocolate in a long time Yummy Dark Chocolate It’s made no difference to my BS readings
 
Unfortunately for me I prefer the slightly higher carb Lindt 85% version. but I agree it's definitely "good stuff".

Cocoa is another great option, and I use cocoa (not chocolate) powder for baking low carb chocolate muffins, etc, occasionally for hot drinks, and mixed with yoghurt or crème fraiche to make me nice choccie puddings.
 
We got a couple of slabs of this 91%, one chocolate I will not pig out on as it put's you mouth into gear very quik.

Doh, I just said to my wife that I'd get some dark choc next week to try and ween myself off cheese which MUST be had with a glass (or so) of red.

Hmm. really it's the wine I need to cut down on not the cheese. But I blame the cheese
 
Scaremongering report about lead and cadmium in lint dark chocolate now! Anyone going to take notice and stop eating it ?
What can we eat as a treat ?
 
The article speaks of large amounts being harmful.
It's much harder to eat large amounts of a high percentage cocoa chocolate than it is to chomp away a bar of milk chocolate.

Personally, I'm not worried by it.

I agree, just one square of milk chocolate starts me off over indulging, where dark chocolate doesn’t , hence my startled reaction
Thanks for your input
