Potential Deception and Destruction of Healthy Chocolate


Members of the Chocolate Manufacturers of America (CMA), such as Hershey, Nestle and Archer Daniels Midland, initially posing as an interested citizens group, have covertly petitioned the FDA to "modernize food standards" by allowing products containing little or no cocoa butter to still be labeled chocolate.

This would allow products that were essentially a mix of milk, artificial sweeteners and hydrogenated trans fats to be sold as chocolate.


Dr. Mercola's Comment:

Considering science is proving how eating minimally-processed chocolate  can provide you with boatloads of beneficial antioxidants, you'd think big business couldn't and wouldn't do anything to mess that good news up.

Guess again, folks.


You may soon see sales of "chocolate" that is a mixture of artificial sweeteners, 2 percent milk fats and the very health-harming trans fats.
