Yes! Eating chocolates is healthy if you consume it in moderation. But how moderate is “moderate”?
Scientists have figured out that chocolate contains both Serotonin and Phenylethylamine, which are mood-lifting hormones found naturally in the human brain. So this explains the feeling of excitement and increased level of energy after consuming chocolates. No wonder it’s hard to quit munching this kind of food.

I remember when I was just a little kid (five or six years old) , I love snacking on marshmallows covered in chocolate. That was my comfort food. My love for chocolates began during those years and I even kept a handful of Hershey’s Kisses under my pillow. That’s how addicted I am to sweets, particularly chocolates. Thank God, my dental cavities were occurring less frequently because I regularly visit my dentist. (Contrary to popular belief, Chocolates are actually good to oral health as oppose to causing oral cavities)
My addiction to chocolates is restrained now, and I no longer wolf down a bar of chocolate and worse a box of chocolates for that matter. Even though there are several articles saying that chocolates is a safe alternative as compared to ordinary candies because it contains a low glycemic index (This means that eating chocolate, will not cause your blood sugar to spike and then crash.),yet still eating chocolates in moderation is the best practice to prevent sickness, such as Diabetes.
Nevertheless, Happy Chocolate Eating!
