   Chocolate's Sugar & Bad Health

Sugar: a 'drug' that makes chocolate unsafe

Chocolate: as unhealthy to consumers as sugary sodas?

Type "sugar and toxic" into Google, and you get over 30 million hits. As added sugar is increasingly viewed by consumers as "toxic", and many chocolates are about 50% added sugar, is/will chocolate be increasingly viewed by consumers as "toxic" (a thought so scary to Hershey that they bought a beef-jerky company for protection)?

As the following tables show, the main reason why chocolate is not a functional food, is not a medical product, is not something consumers eat lots of every day - is one simple reason - chocolate is polluted with too much sugar, and much fat. Yeah, the sugar gets rid of the bitterness, but at what cost to the health of your body? And at what cost to your corporate profits, as you lose consumers, and when you get sued for hurting consumers?

"Safe Chocolate"™ Index

Not only is KukaXoco developing low-fat, sugar-free chocolates (and even prototyping a fat-free, sweetener-free chocolate cream and chocolate milk), but also we are offering consumers a new rating - the "Safe Chocolate"™ Index - to help them purchase the most beneficial chocolates for their health. Some of the criteria to qualify for the "Safe Chocolate"™ Index include:

Soda Companies Sued for Sugar Use - Chocolate Companies Next?

In January 2017, the Coca-Cola Company and the American Beverage Association were sued in California state courts by two public health groups for hurting and deceiving consumers with the added sugar in their "unsafe" beverage products. This should be a huge worry to the chocolate industry, because to the extent that Coca-Cola is found to have hurt consumers and must pay damages, the chocolate industry can be argued to be half as guilty (and pay half as much in damages). Keep in mind that while a 12-ounce can of Coca-Cola has 39 grams of sugar, a Hershey Chocolate Bar has 27 grams of sugar. Lawsuit complaint at: www.kukaxoco.org/DOCUMENTS/CocaColaSuedJan2017.pdf. Here is one allegation from the CocaCola lawsuit, with some "chocolate" insertions. Is the allegation any less threatening to the chocolate industry?

144. As alleged herein, Coca-Cola's [or Cadbury's/Nestle's/Hershey's] advertising and both Defendants' promotion of sugar-sweetened beverages [or chocolates] creates the impression that their consumption is not linked to obesity, type 2 diabetes, and cardiovascular disease, that it can be "balanced" with activity so as to be healthful, and that it provides "essential" and healthful hydration [or nutrition]. Defendants failed to disclose in their promotion and advertising campaigns that scientific consensus about sugar-sweetened beverages [or chocolates] is to the contrary of each of these [defendants'] claims when they had a duty to make such disclosure.

133. By virtue of their affirmative misconduct, Coca-Cola [or Cadbury's/Nestle's/Hershey's] had a duty to disclose that the scientific consensus is that: a) sugar-sweetened beverages [or chocolates] are linked to obesity, type 2 diabetes, and cardiovascular disease; b) activity does not “balance” away, or negate, the link between sugar-sweetened beverages [or chocolates] and obesity-related chronic diseases; and c) hydration with sugar-sweetened beverages [or chocolate milks] is not healthful or ”essential” to the human body. They also had a duty to disclose all other material facts about the potential health hazards of sugar-sweetened beverage [or chocolate] consumption of which they had notice.
This 2017 lawsuit and sugar-taxes against the beverage industry were predicted in the following 2013 law review article:
From the paper, "If Sugar is Addictive .. What Does It Mean for the Law?", available at: www.aslme.org/media/downloadable/files/links/j/l/jlme-41_1-gearhardt-supp.pdf. We quote: "LEGAL TOOLS: Regulatory tools and approaches are diverse and include labeling (disclosure and warning), advertising restrictions, taxes (special excise duties, value-added taxes and sales taxes), product bans or restrictions, litigation (especially class action litigation), self-regulation, a reduction of farm subsidies and sugar programs, and the development of education programs."
Is this law review article also a predictor for lawsuits and sugar-taxes against the chocolate industry? Why not? In August 2017, Nestle was sued in U.S. Federal Courts, a 325-page complaint for not using "spring water" in its "Poland Spring Water". What might not be in Nestle's chocolate products, or what unsafe, for yet another lawsuit? Article on lawsuit at: http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2017-08-19/colossal-fraud-against-consumers-lawsuit-accuses-poland-spring-selling-groundwater.

And not just lawsuits for damages. There are lawsuits or petitions that open the door wider to damages lawsuits. A 2015 law review article suggests another threat to the chocolate industry:
From the paper, "Should the Food and Drug Administration revode added sugar's GRAS status?", which recommends: "FDA should issue a Federal Registrer notice finding that added sugar is not GRAS, because the probable consumption of added sugar is three to five times higher than experts recommend: research has found that added sugar is a chronic toxin having a cumulative effect on one health's; and experts no longer generally recognize added sugar as safe due to its immediate and long-term adverse health effects." Article available at: www.kukaxoco.org/DOCUMENTS/SugarGRAS-FDA2015.pdf.

Recommended Daily Value (DV) / Reference Intake (RI)

The right hand column below is the percentage of the recommended daily amount of added sugar present in a typical serving of the corresponding chocolate product. For the chocolate products below, serving sizes have been scaled to be about 42 grams - the weight of the standard chocolate bar.

There are at least three recommendations for added sugar. In February 2017, the American Heart Association (AHA) published a recommendation that the average daily consumption of added sugar for women should be 25 grams, while the average daily consumption for men should be 33 grams (AHA Added Sugar). The National Health Service (UK) recommends no more than 30 grams of added sugar ("free sugars") a day for adults ( UK NHS Free Sugar). The Food and Drug Administration, and the World Health Organization, recommend no more than 10 percent of your daily calories be from added sugar, about 50 grams, a higher limit influenced by industry pressure.

For the table below, we assume a recommended daily amount of added sugar to be 33 grams (between the AHA's 25 and 33, and just above the NHS' 30). This way, if consumers know the amount of sugar in a serving, say 25 grams, they can quickly determine the percentage by multiplying by 3.

Fruit juices. Keep in mind that too many people have been fooled into thinking that a class of orange/apple/grape juice a day is a healthy thing. For the most part, they are not healthy. People don't need their vitamins, and there is little fiber in processed fruit juices. But there is a lot of sugar, from 30+ grams in orange juice, 40+ grams in apple juice and 50+ grams in grape juice (assuming a 12-ounce breakfast glass).

A glass of orange juice a day, and one chocolate bar a day, every day, is over 200% of the total added sugar recommended every day (and that ignores all of the other added sugars in your food).

Los Peores Chocolates Insalubres ( > 88% Azúcar y Grasa).   Si la posesión de 10 a 20 gramos de cocaína es un delito con privación de libertad en los Estados Unidos, y si la producción, venta y distribución de kilogramos de cocaína es tráfico de drogas que está castigado con décadas de prisión, deberían ser detenidos los consumidores de 10 a 20 gramos de estos productos de chocolate por posesión de drogas y deberían estos fabricantes de chocolate ser cerrados por los gobiernos debido al tráfico de drogas (y sus ejecutivos encarcelados), si, como discutiremos a continuación, el azúcar añadido es tan adictivo y médicamente tan inútil como la cocaína? ¿Es abuso de menores permitir que un niño (con sobrepeso) que consumen de cualquiera de estos productos, especialmente aquellos que son del 85% al 95% de azúcar y grasa, si el azúcar añadido es tan adictivo y médicamente tan inútil como la cocaína? Si el azúcar añadido es más adictivo que la marihuana, y médicamente tan inútil, ¿debe ser el azúcar una droga de Clase I bajo las normas de la DEA de los EE.UU.?

And what happens to your brain when you consume too much added sugar in these chocolates? ¿Y qué le pasa a su cerebro cuando se consume demasiado azúcar añadido en estos chocolates?

Cocaine & Sugar

And what happens to world health when too much sugar and fat is consumed in all foods, not just these chocolates?

Diabetes & Death Diabetes & Death

Lying Chocolates (poisoned with Fructose)

As sugar is increasingly realized as an addictive toxin, food producers are looking to alternatives such as artificial sweeteners (which have their own problems). One idiotic, dangerous group of such food producers can be found in South America, where they advertise "sugar-free / libre de azúcar" chocolates using ... FRUCTOSE. Not only is fructose a sugar (table sugar, sucrose, is 50% glucose and 50% fructose), but fructose is much more destructive to the body than glucose (fructose causes non-alcoholic fatty liver disease) because no cellular processes use fructose - the body can't process it, so it flows through the blood into the liver where it is converted into fat. So not only are such products life-threatening for diabetics, deceived by these "sugar-free / libre de azúcar" labels on chocolate products, they are harmful to the population as a whole. All of these criminal chocolates must be removed from the marketplace.

In 2015, medical researchers reported that long-term, global consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages (lead by the sodas such as CocaCola which heavily use high-fructose corn syrup) cause 184,000 deaths a year due to diabetes and heart disease. Fructose is worse than sugar (which is 50% glucose and 50% fructose) - fructose is just as horrible for diabetics. See death study at: Circulation, June 2015. And just as bad, in 2000, scientists in Israel documented how this consumption of fructose-sweetened beverages causes fatty liver disease. See disease study at: [Fructose-based] Soft drink consumption is associated with fatty liver disease, Journal of Hepatology, 2009. Those chocolates using fructose have about half-as-much fructose as disease-causing beverages. Fructose chocolates are just as horrible for the body.
