Chocolate Spoon
Is it ok to have approximately 5 Tea Spoons of chocolate powder each day (with milk) ?
I heard it’s bad to have too much coco powder, I heard that since it’s powder it doesn’t get well absorbed and it settles in the stomach or sth like that ( like eating sand or sth ). What’s the truth behind that… I like to drink milk mixed with chocolate powder, is it alright to drink 3 cups of milk with chocolate powder each day ???
Thanks
Chocolate contains oxalate — a naturally occurring compound in cocoa beans — which can inhibit the absorption of calcium. Calcium binds to oxalate in your intestines, limiting its absorption into your bloodstream.
As chocolate contains relatively small amounts of oxalate, it is unclear to what extent chocolate consumption affects healthy people who eat calcium-rich diets. A 2008 study in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition found that elderly women who consume one or more servings of chocolate on a daily basis have lower bone density and strength than those women who eat a serving of chocolate six times a week or less. Researchers believe this may be due to oxalate inhibiting calcium absorption — but it could also be due to the chocolate’s sugar content, which may increase calcium excretion. Chocolate also contains flavonoids, a substance that is thought to be beneficial to bone health. Further tests are needed to fully determine the role chocolate plays in calcium balance and bone strength.
It is clear, however, that consuming foods high in oxalate — and in turn their effect on calcium absorption — is a more significant concern for people with oxalate kidney stones, which occur when there is too much oxalate in the urine. These people, especially, should reduce their oxalate intake and increase their calcium intake.
In addition to chocolate, oxalate is found in varying amounts in many other foods, such as beans, nuts, spinach, sweet potatoes, okra, kale, collards, chard, berries and tea.
Calcium from food sources, such as milk and yogurt, are your best sources of calcium. If you consume 1,200 to 1,500 milligrams of calcium and 400 to 800 international units of vitamin D daily from food or calcium supplements, eating chocolate in moderation is unlikely to adversely affect your bone health.
