Doctor told how much chocolate you can eat per day
This delicacy is equally loved by adults and children.
But you can't overdo it with such a dessert. In this case, unpleasant consequences may appear.
For example, a person risks becoming overweight, as well as having heart, vascular or kidney diseases. In addition, the risk of diabetes increases.
Dark chocolate is considered less harmful due to its lower sugar content, but higher percentage of cocoa in its composition. As for milk and white chocolate, there is a lot of sugar in its composition.
You can eat up to 30 grams of dark chocolate per day, and in the case of milk or white chocolate, then no more than 20 grams per day.
Gastroenterologist Margarita Amelichkina told Gazeta.Ru about this.
If you want to reduce the number of calories, some people prefer to choose treats with sweeteners. Do not forget that such an additive can have a side effect, for example, bloating or nausea.
Amelichkina also noted that those who suffer from allergies, diabetes, and hypertension should not eat chocolate. This dessert should not be given to children under three years of age.
The specialist recommended replacing chocolate with sweets without caffeine and purines, such as marshmallows, pastilles and marmalade.
