    07:55 This is an insane advice! At 07:33 they said that the 100% chocolate is free of sugar and even diabetic-friendly, which is true, but then they procede to advise to eat it with dried fruit or peanut butter, both of which are full of sugar! With an advice like that you might be better off enjoying your 72% or even 50%+ chocolate, the ammount of sugar you consume might even be lower.

    Chocolate brings joy and antioxidants—what a combination! 🍫 Going for high cocoa content while savoring in moderation is definitely the sweet spot.

    Great video! Where's the last place tho?
  • @xfool
    The darker ones like 95%-100% cocoa taste the best, anything below 90% is too sweet for me
  • @anasqai
    What about "dark chocolate", does a "bulk rectangle version" exist? What about the tray like half width of Cadbury maybe to wrap like that using aluminium? Planning to combine own recipe: choc-percent maybe like that as a "stocks left" type of website 1 day. Sometimes we just desire a kind of sweetness in life, the positioning and location of "safer from voltage from equator hole" could cause to be inside house, online order.

    It's a pity they cut the part about ruby chocolates. Otherwise, great video as always. 😊
