What Wikipedia Has to Say...

After fermentation, the beans are dried, cleaned, and roasted, and the shell is removed to produce cacao nibs. The nibs are then ground and liquefied, resulting in pure chocolate in fluid form: chocolate liquor. The liquor can be further processed into two components: cocoa solids and cocoa butter. Pure, unsweetened chocolate contains primarily cocoa solids and cocoa butter in varying proportions. Much of the chocolate consumed today is in the form of sweet chocolate, combining chocolate with sugar. Milk chocolate is sweet chocolate that additionally contains milk powder or condensed milk.

chocolate is one of the most tastiest foods i reakon and can put u in a good mood sometimes. as for health it is not good to overconsume too much because there is alot of saturated fat and sugar. people can say it is healthy because it has some benifits but compare it to fruit and veg and chocolate is put to shame in health benifits.
p.s chocolate is a nice food to relax and enjoy i include it in my diet and i am very fit and healthy but i would never consider it a healthy food.

Chocolate all the way but the real kind!! It is actually helpful for headaches in smokers as long as it is real chocolate!

I love warm dark chocolate the best. Flourless chocolate cake is really awesome. And having chocolate everyday is absolutely worth the fat, calories, and sugar! :)

I absolutely adore milk chocolate especially if it's fruit and nut or wholenut. I would happily live on chocolate if my waistline could handle it (which sadly is never going to happen)but even just a sniff is enough to cheer me up. I'm sure doctors would have a much easier life if they could prescribe chocolate instead of pills, it has a much quicker effect than any antidepressant and is probably a lot cheaper!

Chocolate is brilliant. Even if it was bad for me, I would eat it because it rocks. It may an aquired taste, but if the Aztecs could eat it without sweeting, so can I.

Chocolate is very good for the soul. I even converted my DH who never ate chocolate before I came along.

It's not only good for the soul but dark chocolate is antioxidant rich and can even lower blood pressure!

I Loooooove chocolate, especially really good truffles, and mousse, and those chocolate chunk cookies, and...sorry. I know I could cause a firestorm here, but I'm also quite fond of white chocolate, especially mousse.

Can't live without it. One of the pleasures in life is eating, and I love eating chocolate. Also, when I'm feeling sick to my stomach, it has a soothing reaction.

I couldn't agree more. As I get older I am developing a taste for dark chocolate. Like a good coffee or a fine Cabernet, I think you can taste the difference in a good quality chocolate, which doesn't necessarily have to be expensive.

I'm allergic to chocolate. I have no problem saying no to it, knowing that if I did indulge, I'd be dealing w/ 4 days of migraines.
