Nine out of ten people love to eat chocolate and 75% of it are kids. Many people enjoy eating chocolate and most of the time, this food gives comfort and satisfaction. Others believe that chocolate can remove nervousness and can boost confidence to someone who will eat this. I, myself loves to eat chocolates especially the dark ones at age of twenty two. I am still like a kid who keeps on loving chocolate. Either for a drink or for food, I prefer to choose this exciting food.
Chocolate is made from cacao beans that were fermented and grinded to be a chocolate drink or a chocolate food. According to Sandra Boynton, chocolate can prevent cognitive decline because it is a good source for antioxidant. In addition, based on a scientist of Harvard Medical School, drinking chocolate can make the brain healthy. Chocolates, especially the dark ones can help you have a good heart because it contains high vitamins and minerals. However, despite of good qualities about chocolate, it also have a negative side of it.
Some people can’t help but to eat this food, they can’t control themselves. Too much chocolate can gain too much weight that may lead to obesity. Chocolate contains sugar and saturated fat that can also cause heart diseases. It can also be the reason for tooth decay and diabetes. Chocolate is an antioxidant but at the same time it have a caffeine that makes the heart beat fast.
I remember in Jose Rizal’s novel, “Noli me Tangere” (Touch Me Not). There are two kinds of chocolate that can be served: the first one is “chocolate eh” which means “eh-espreso” or thick chocolate that served for elite people, the second one is “chocolate ah” which means “ah-aguado” or watered chocolate that served for people who belong in low profile society. Ever since chocolate is a popular drink and as time goes by, chocolate was used into different kind of beverages and food.
