    honestly, the milk, sugar and fat way out any health benefits at all.
    Dark choco has less of those, so it can give you more benefits.

    It's a lot easier for me to have chocolate in moderation than xanax in moderation. Quitting xanax was a b-word!
    I'm with you!!

    Diary Milk has a 100 calorie bar - does the trick for me at that TOM. Give me my chocolate and nobody gets hurt. :):laugh:

    It can benefit your mental health if it makes you happy.
    Don't discount this (and variations of this sentiment posted here).

    If you really enjoy milk chocolate, plan your calorie intake around it. Set up your calorie and macro goals so they include milk chocolate. You don't need to look for health benefits to justify eating food you love to eat. The fact that you love to eat it is good enough. Just don't go overboard, and fit it within your calorie/macro goals. (and that answer is the same whether milk chocolate has no benefits or cures cancer)

    I don't care whether dark choc has more health benefits, it doesn't taste as nice to me as milk chocolate! Instead of getting a big bar though as its really hard to resist eating more chunks once you've started I get like a box of cadbury's heroes and only allow two at once.

    I find the best time to have one is after my dinner as I'm full from dinner and get the satisfaction of a taste of chocolate, without ending up eating loads of them cos I'm hungry if I have one between meals I find I end up with 5 or 6 instead of 1 or 2! Natural yoghurt on strawberries with a small piece of choccy on top is yummy! Or grate a small bar over natural yoghurt or something?

    Chocolate is one of the few known sources of the essential trace mineral chromium. I think that's both dark and milk. But as always... life is about moderation :)
