this must be the biggest load of crap I ave ever heard. My waistline is not huge, I eat tonnes of chocolate, always have, I work in a chocolate factory, most of the people in there eat loads, and the majority are skinny. It not chocolate that makes you fat, or indeed with young kids that eat the stuff, its lack of exercise, too much playstation and more 'sweets' as in boiled variety that make you fat, and the lack of a healthy balanced diet. My son is like me he eats chocolate as a treat, his teeth are far better than some 7 year olds, he doesn't eat 'sweets' as often. He has a healthy 'active' life...not a slob factor in it.

What a load of twaddle......rant over

Chocolate tax? oh dear.

You can eat tonnes of chocolate if you wanted, its not good for your teeth of course, but if you did the exercise to burn it off then it doesn't matter.

there was once an article on the fact that some more expensive brands of finer chocolate(with a higher cocoa content) was actually no too harmful for your teeth, as the chemical make up of cocoa actually ate the plaque on your teeth.

You wouldn't believe the amount I eat....my dentist says I won't make him any money ever...neither will any of our family and hes been treating a family of skinny chocoholics all hs dental career ...thats about 30 years!
