The document discusses how to choose chocolate that provides the most health benefits. While raw cocoa contains the highest levels of nutrients, most health studies are done on cocoa or chocolate not in the raw state. Dark chocolate with a higher percentage of cocoa and less sugar provides more antioxidants than milk chocolate which contains mostly sugar. Chocolate containing at least 70% cocoa offers valuable nutrients, while milk chocolate and white chocolate have little nutritional value due to their high sugar contents. For the most benefits, raw cocoa is best but dark chocolate is a good alternative option for flavor.
