Chocolate, especially milk and white varieties, is a sweet indulgence enjoyed by many. However, these types often contain high levels of saturated fats and sugars, which can contribute to increased LDL cholesterol levels. Dark chocolate, on the other hand, contains antioxidants and is lower in sugar, making it a healthier option in moderation. Being mindful of the type and amount of chocolate consumed can help manage cholesterol levels. Opting for dark chocolate with a high cocoa content and enjoying it in small portions can provide a satisfying treat without the negative health impacts.
