“If you take dark chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 50%, then an average person can consume about 50 grams every day,” said Alexey Buyeverov, a professor of the department of polyclinic therapy at Sechenov University.

He noted that it is possible to eat more chocolate if a person is engaged in hard physical labor or sports. The expert added that it is better to eat chocolate in the first half of the day, as it contains alkaloids, which worsen the process of falling asleep.

According to experts, dark chocolate is healthier for human health because it contains more cocoa beans. Contraindications for eating chocolate are diseases of the pancreas.
