All chocolates have caffeine in it and hence they are bad for health and should be avoided. I would suggest you to take good amount of vegetables, salad, fruits, fruit juices and dried fruits to maintain good health.

I agree with every single response here .. if u comppare thn dark chocklat is anyway better . but you cant ignore the fact that it has caffeine and too much of it can lead to health problems. it increases your blood pressure by causing vaso constriction , it can lead to insomnia , anxiety and can also reduce the control of fine motor movements. hence eat dark chocklates but only once in limitation .
