380: Think you're eating chocolate? Maybe not. In this episode, I’m breaking down what’s really hiding behind some of the most recognizable chocolate brands on grocery store shelves. After digging through FDA regulations, ingredient labels, lawsuits, recalls, and independent lab testing, I found that many products marketed as "chocolate" don't actually meet the standards most people assume they do. We’ll talk about the difference between real cacao and chocolate-flavored candy, why ingredients like palm oil and PGPR matter, what recent testing found in certain chocolate products, and how to identify truly high-quality chocolate if you're looking for the health benefits often associated with cacao. Plus, I share my favorite 100% cacao brands, why I eat chocolate every day, and what the research actually says about chocolate's impact on heart health, antioxidants, gut health, and more. If you're a chocolate lover, this episode may completely change the way you shop for chocolate.
