Dark chocolate has a rich and delicious taste. In addition to its high nutritional value, it is a great source of antioxidants.
As per research, dark chocolate may help you lose weight. It may hinder fat digestion and absorption and make you feel fuller (1).
Dark chocolate may also promote good skin and heart health. Most of the benefits of dark chocolate come from cocoa flavanols. Flavanols are antioxidants that reduce inflammation and boost brain function. A typical cocoa solids bar contains 50-90% cocoa butter, sugar, and cocoa solids. Butter is likely to be found in it as well, though rarely.
This article discusses the benefits of dark chocolate, its nutritional profile, its potential side effects, and additional tips for choosing the best dark chocolate. Scroll down to read more.

How Does Dark Chocolate Benefit You?
The cocoa flavanols in dark chocolate contribute to most of its benefits. These flavanols have antioxidant effects that promote heart health, help fight cancer, and boost brain function. Dark chocolate may also aid weight loss.
1. May Aid Weight Loss
Moderate intake of dark chocolate may increase satiety and help with weight management.
Research suggests that dark chocolate may have a role to play in weight loss. It may decrease the expression of genes involved in fatty acid synthesis. This reduces the digestion and absorption of fats and carbs, thereby increasing satiety (1).
Consumption of dark chocolate could also be useful in the reduction of weight circumference in normal weight obese women (a condition that involves excess body fat with a normal body mass index) (2).
However, moderation is key. Just 100 grams of dark chocolate contains about 600 calories (3). Hence, do not have more than one cube of dark chocolate in a day.
Did You Know?2. May Protect Your Skin
The flavanols in dark chocolate can protect the skin against sun damage.
Studies show that dietary flavanols from cocoa offer photoprotection and improve dermal blood circulation (4).
This effect can be attributed to the antioxidants (especially flavanols) in dark chocolate (4).
3. May Boost Heart Health
Dark chocolate antioxidants may cut heart disease risk by preventing oxidation, lowering bad cholesterol levels, and elevating good cholesterol levels.
Habitual chocolate intake can lower the risk of coronary heart disease. Studies have suggested that dark chocolate may have more benefits than milk chocolate. One major reason for this effect could be the flavonoids in dark chocolate (5).
Some sources claim that dark chocolate may promote the production of nitric oxide, which relaxes the blood vessels and improves blood flow. However, we need more research to establish this.
There is no evidence that those concerned with cardiovascular health must avoid dark chocolate (or chocolate, in general) (5).
Studies show that eating dark chocolate more than five times a week was associated with a 57% lower risk of coronary heart disease (6).
We know that dark chocolate is made of cocoa. As per a Japanese study, the polyphenols in cocoa powder may lower LDL (the bad cholesterol), elevate HDL (the good cholesterol), and suppress oxidized LDL (7).
It is not LDL but oxidized LDL that is a problem. The antioxidants in cocoa may prevent the LDL from getting oxidized (8).
4. May Promote Brain Function
The flavonols in dark chocolate may elevate mood and improve cognitive health in the elderly.
In a study conducted on five healthy subjects, intake of dark chocolate (with 70% cocoa content) was found to improve behavioral and brain health (9). Further research is in progress, however, to elaborate on these mechanisms.
In a second study conducted by the same team, dark chocolate was found to improve neural signaling and sensory perception (10).
Regular intake of cocoa flavanols may also be effective in improving cognitive health in the elderly with mild mental impairment (11).
Dark chocolate also promotes mood and may alleviate emotional stress. However, we need further research to understand the mechanisms involved (12).
Dark chocolate also contains a compound called epicatechin, which was found to reduce brain damage in the eventuality of a stroke (13). But not all dark chocolate is created equal. Hence, ensure you go through the list of ingredients.
5. Might Aid Cancer Prevention
Rat studies highlight a possible link between dark chocolate intake and colon cancer prevention (14). A diet including dark chocolate was found to reduce cell proliferation and inflammation.
Daily intake of small amounts of flavanols from dark chocolate and other sources may be a natural approach to potentially prevent colon cancer. However, we need more research in this regard (15).
According to the American Cancer Society, the flavanols in cocoa beans (dark chocolate) may help reduce damage to cells. But as per the report, the results don’t state if the anticancer effects could be attributed to dark chocolate, or if it’s the flavanols alone, which could be found in other foods as well (16).
Dark chocolate cocoa also contains high concentrations of catechinsi A bioactive molecule with antioxidant properties that protect cells from damage due to free radicals (unstable atoms in the body). and procyanidinsi A group of natural bioactive molecules found in fruits and vegetables that help protect the heart and improve vision. that may have a beneficial effect against oxidative stress and chronic inflammation, which both are risk factors for cancer (17).
6. May Aid Diabetes Treatment
Consuming dark chocolate may lower blood sugar levels, as per some studies.
It is possible that the cocoa polyphenols in dark chocolate can directly influence insulin resistance and reduce diabetes risk. They may induce the generation of pancreatic beta-cells and stimulate insulin secretion, thereby lowering blood sugar levels. More studies need to be performed to further analyze the anti-diabetic effects of dark chocolate (18).
However, reports hint that dark chocolate may have some adverse effects (although only rarely) on people who have diabetes. But this is yet to be validated by strong research.
7. May Enhance Vision
In a study, dark chocolate exhibited a better ability to improve visual acuity than its white counterpart. This effect was only temporary (for about two hours), however. The long-term effects of dark chocolate on vision health need further research (19).
8. May Promote Gut Health
The good microbes in the gut, namely Bifidobacterium and lactic acid bacteria, ferment dark chocolate and produce anti-inflammatory compounds (20).
In another study, the consumption of foods rich in cocoa flavanols could significantly improve the growth of beneficial gut bacteria (21). Although further research is required, this is a promising finding.
9. May Improve Hair Health
Dark chocolate is rich in cocoa. This cocoa contains proanthocyanidins, compounds that were known to promote hair growth in animal studies (22).
In mice, proanthocyanidins were found to induce the anagen phase of hair growth (23). Anagen is the active growth phase of hair follicles where the hair root divides rapidly, adding to the hair shaft.
Anna, a vlogger, shared her experience of using a dark chocolate mask for her hair in her video. She said, “My hair is super soft and shiny. I didn’t put any oil or leave-in conditioner in my hair last night (i).”
More research is warranted to understand if dark chocolate can actually have any impact on hair health.

*Values sourced from USDA, Chocolate, dark, 70-85% cacao solids
A bar of dark chocolate (100 grams) with 70-80% cocoa content contains about 600 calories. That is a lot, but obviously, you aren’t going to consume 100 grams of dark chocolate every day (we don’t recommend you do that either).
One ounce of dark chocolate (28 grams) contains about 3 grams of fiber, 27% DV of manganese, 25% DV of copper, 19% DV of iron, and 16% DV of magnesium.
The much-discussed goodness of dark chocolate comes from its cocoa content. Cocoa is replete with plant chemicals (called flavanols) that may protect the heart. It contains two to three times more flavanol-rich cocoa solids than its milk cousin.
The other important nutrients in dark chocolate include iron, magnesium, copper, zinc, and phosphorus – all of which contribute to your overall health (3).

How To Choose The Healthiest Dark Chocolate
Not every dark chocolate is equally healthy. Here are some simple tips to choose the healthiest and highest-quality dark chocolate:
- Choose dark chocolate with at least 70% cocoa. The higher the cocoa percentage, the more antioxidants and health benefits it contains.
- The fewer the ingredients, the better and purer the product . Aim for chocolate with cocoa mass, cocoa butter, and a small amount of sugar. Avoid added artificial flavors, preservatives, or hydrogenated fats.
- If possible, buy chocolate that is certified fair trade or organic, as they ensure better quality and ethical production practices.
- The less processed the chocolate, the better the product. Dark chocolate made with traditional methods usually retains more nutrients.
- The quality of dark chocolate can often be judged by its taste. It should have a rich, smooth, and slightly bitter flavor, without being overwhelmingly sweet.
Though beneficial, dark chocolate can cause certain undesirable effects.
