1 00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:03,000 Speaker 1: Are you a chocolate lover and do you try and 2 00:00:03,080 --> 00:00:06,160 Speaker 1: buy dark chocolate as a healthier option? We do you 3 00:00:06,200 --> 00:00:10,200 Speaker 1: find yourself eating the entire block anyway? On today's product review, 4 00:00:10,440 --> 00:00:12,800 Speaker 1: which we are thinking will be one of our most popular, 5 00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:15,760 Speaker 1: we review some of the best dark chocolate varieties in 6 00:00:15,840 --> 00:00:20,720 Speaker 1: supermarkets and discuss is there really a healthier type of chocolate? Hi, 7 00:00:20,880 --> 00:00:23,120 Speaker 1: I'm Leanne Wood and I'm Suzy Burrow, and as two 8 00:00:23,160 --> 00:00:25,959 Speaker 1: of us stas leading dietitians, we bring you the nutrition 9 00:00:26,079 --> 00:00:29,040 Speaker 1: Couch product grooview, a weekly chat on new products and 10 00:00:29,120 --> 00:00:33,080 Speaker 1: old favorites you can find at AUSSI supermarkets. So chocolate, 11 00:00:33,360 --> 00:00:36,000 Speaker 1: let's be honest, Susie, who doesn't love chocolate? But do 12 00:00:36,040 --> 00:00:38,599 Speaker 1: you love a dark chocolate? And are you're a fan? Oh? 13 00:00:38,640 --> 00:00:40,400 Speaker 2: I can eat Unlike most people, Lean I can eat 14 00:00:40,400 --> 00:00:45,440 Speaker 2: any chocolate. I am a chocolate lover, but my natural 15 00:00:45,479 --> 00:00:47,680 Speaker 2: tendency is to go towards milk, and I do go 16 00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:50,560 Speaker 2: through sort of phases of different types. At the moment, 17 00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:55,240 Speaker 2: I'm obsessed with boost bars. I do wish that one 18 00:00:55,360 --> 00:00:56,960 Speaker 2: that you don't have to buy the entire box of 19 00:00:57,000 --> 00:00:59,200 Speaker 2: Favorites to get the mini boosts, which are obviously better 20 00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:01,760 Speaker 2: for portion control. I'm waiting for them to bring out 21 00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:05,120 Speaker 2: a mini boost pack so I can portion control. But 22 00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:06,800 Speaker 2: I go through phases, you know, that might last for 23 00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:08,600 Speaker 2: two or three months, and then I'll be onto something else. 24 00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:11,440 Speaker 2: But yeah, I don't mind dark chocolate, but I don't 25 00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:14,440 Speaker 2: routinely buy it. And it probably lends itself to a 26 00:01:14,440 --> 00:01:17,040 Speaker 2: bit of a chat about the cognitive control of chocolate 27 00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:21,280 Speaker 2: versus as you described as your soul foods. So I 28 00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:24,240 Speaker 2: always say to clients, don't buy the dark chocolate and 29 00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:26,800 Speaker 2: eat the whole block because you think it's better. Really 30 00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:29,760 Speaker 2: think about what you enjoy the most. But you know, 31 00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:31,600 Speaker 2: there is some evidence also to show that there's a 32 00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:34,560 Speaker 2: programming effect. You know, over time you can program yourself 33 00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:36,360 Speaker 2: to look for the more richer flavor. I know that 34 00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:39,120 Speaker 2: you love dark chocolate. You've got one that is it mint? 35 00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:40,000 Speaker 2: That the one that you love? 36 00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:41,280 Speaker 1: Yeah, I love a min one. I love a good 37 00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:43,440 Speaker 1: midone and assalted caramel. I love the link. The link 38 00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:46,840 Speaker 1: squares the dark chocolate salted caramel. Yeah, David's pretty hard cool. 39 00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:48,720 Speaker 1: I think you buzz a lint ninety seven ninety seven 40 00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:50,639 Speaker 1: percent That for me is just a little bit too bitter. 41 00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:53,320 Speaker 1: But he has problems with portion control, so he likes 42 00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:55,320 Speaker 1: it because he really just the one squads enough for him. 43 00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:57,440 Speaker 1: If we bought the milk chocolate, he'd eat the entire block, 44 00:01:57,560 --> 00:01:59,760 Speaker 1: So for him that works really well for portion control. 45 00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:02,000 Speaker 2: I have found as I get older, I can't have 46 00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:04,040 Speaker 2: blocks of chocolate ever, Like everyone will to eat the 47 00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:06,520 Speaker 2: whole block because it's so Moorish. So you're not alone 48 00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:08,440 Speaker 2: if you're a whole block eater. It's about learning how 49 00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:11,240 Speaker 2: to portion controller, which we will cover a little bit today. 50 00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:12,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, and I find dark chocolate for me, it's just 51 00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:15,960 Speaker 1: easier like it. It's more satisfying. Like with milk chocolate. 52 00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:17,959 Speaker 1: I'll eat and eat and eat it and be like, yeah, 53 00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:20,000 Speaker 1: that's okay, but I I don't love it, so I'm 54 00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:22,120 Speaker 1: not fully satisfied. So for me, the dark chocolate is 55 00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:24,440 Speaker 1: actually more satisfying. I think for whatever reason, I just 56 00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:26,600 Speaker 1: don't think it's as I don't know. I just don't 57 00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:28,359 Speaker 1: want to keep going back for more of it. So 58 00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:31,120 Speaker 1: I'm excited about our review today and the first product. 59 00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:34,000 Speaker 1: Due to popular demand, we've got another Audi product in here. 60 00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:38,239 Speaker 1: So it's the Monsa Roth eighty five percent coco block 61 00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:40,440 Speaker 1: of chocolate. So this is two ninety nine at Aldi 62 00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:42,679 Speaker 1: and a serving size is twenty five grams, so they're 63 00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:46,600 Speaker 1: actually portioned to these little like individually bars, So portion 64 00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:49,440 Speaker 1: control wise they're pretty good, even though I would probably say, Susie, 65 00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:53,360 Speaker 1: a portion is probably bigger than some other sort of 66 00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:55,320 Speaker 1: pre portion like the mini little blocks of chocolate or 67 00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:57,359 Speaker 1: little snack pack. So I think twenty five grams is 68 00:02:57,400 --> 00:02:59,600 Speaker 1: a decent serving for a portion size, so that's pretty good. 69 00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:03,320 Speaker 1: I'm thinking we should probably review per hundred grams though today, 70 00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:06,400 Speaker 1: because each one is a different size. 71 00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:08,920 Speaker 2: I do. I love these portion control packs, and it's 72 00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:11,360 Speaker 2: actually reminder to me because I don't routinely shop at 73 00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:13,959 Speaker 2: Audi one, I know how much people love this product, 74 00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:15,720 Speaker 2: but also that it is one of the few that 75 00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:19,240 Speaker 2: does come in portion controls like this is fantastic, and 76 00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:22,399 Speaker 2: I agree, let's we'll review one hundred grams for comparison. 77 00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:25,160 Speaker 2: But I think this kind of twenty gram twenty five 78 00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:28,080 Speaker 2: gram service makes it so much easier when it comes 79 00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:30,640 Speaker 2: to controlling ourselves around tempting food. 80 00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:32,960 Speaker 1: And individually portioned as well. It's not just you know, 81 00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:34,600 Speaker 1: put into little squares. It's sort of like you have 82 00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:36,600 Speaker 1: to unwrap a whole new thing each time, which is good, 83 00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:38,120 Speaker 1: and it's a good amount so you don't feel like 84 00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:40,480 Speaker 1: you're deprived. It's a great amount. Yeah, yeah, so per 85 00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:43,960 Speaker 1: one hundred grams. So we're comparing similar amounts through the 86 00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:46,800 Speaker 1: three different chocolates we're reviewing. So energy wise, we've got 87 00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:49,120 Speaker 1: two thy five hundred killo duels or just shy of 88 00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:52,560 Speaker 1: six hundred calories. We've got eleven grams of protein, fifty 89 00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:55,440 Speaker 1: grams of total fat, thirty of that being saturated fat. 90 00:03:55,440 --> 00:04:00,000 Speaker 1: It's actually quite high saturated fat, nearly twenty grams of carbohydrates, 91 00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:03,600 Speaker 1: nearly fourteen grams of sugar, so I guess quite low 92 00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:06,600 Speaker 1: sugar in comparison to high fat. And then that probably 93 00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:08,640 Speaker 1: makes sense when we look at the ingredient list, which 94 00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:12,600 Speaker 1: we've got cocoa mass, cocoa butter, then sugar, then alkalis, 95 00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:15,760 Speaker 1: reduced fat, cocoa powder which I've actually never heard of before, 96 00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:20,080 Speaker 1: susi a multifier, and vanilla extract. And the allergen listed 97 00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:22,479 Speaker 1: is soy, so it actually contains soy for anyone with 98 00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:26,320 Speaker 1: our soy allergies at home. Made in Germany. Yeah, what 99 00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:28,480 Speaker 1: do we think about this one? It's very high saturated fat. 100 00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:29,960 Speaker 1: That's probably the first thing that stood out to me. 101 00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:32,599 Speaker 1: So if you're somebody with kardiak issues or heart problems 102 00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:34,600 Speaker 1: or in the family, this is probably something that I 103 00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:37,920 Speaker 1: would be very mindful in terms of portion size wise, 104 00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:42,320 Speaker 1: because for our cardiac population, probably not great to have 105 00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:43,640 Speaker 1: something so high and saturated. 106 00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:46,200 Speaker 2: But I think it's a reflection of the quality because 107 00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:49,039 Speaker 2: of course a chocolate that's eighty five percent cocoa and 108 00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:52,000 Speaker 2: well made will have a higher proportion of fat coming 109 00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:54,920 Speaker 2: from the actual cocoa butter, which is why it tastes 110 00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:58,160 Speaker 2: great now, just as a reference point, So per serve 111 00:04:58,240 --> 00:04:59,880 Speaker 2: on that I know we're talking about one hundred gram 112 00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:03,320 Speaker 2: but per serve at seven point seven grams are saturated fat. 113 00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:06,560 Speaker 2: So for context, if we are trying to achieve what 114 00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:09,080 Speaker 2: we call a one to one to one PMS or 115 00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:12,919 Speaker 2: poly tomonoisaturated fat ratios, which is what is ideal to 116 00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:16,359 Speaker 2: promote cellular health and reduce inflammation in the body for 117 00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:19,280 Speaker 2: the average adult, who's say aiming between sixty to eighty 118 00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:23,080 Speaker 2: grams of fat in total per day for weight control, 119 00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:26,000 Speaker 2: and we're breaking that down to roughly fifteen to twenty 120 00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:31,200 Speaker 2: maybe slightly higher grams of each polymonos and saturates for balance. 121 00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:36,479 Speaker 2: So that is giving you about maybe up to a 122 00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:40,479 Speaker 2: half of your entire recommended upper intake of saturated fat 123 00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:43,359 Speaker 2: per day. So for me, if I was counting it, 124 00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:45,120 Speaker 2: I would be like, well, you certainly want to be 125 00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:48,200 Speaker 2: having reduced fat, dairy, low fat dairy. You certainly want 126 00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:50,200 Speaker 2: to keep an eye how much cheese you're having, and 127 00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:52,680 Speaker 2: you certainly want to be choosing extremely lean red meat 128 00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:55,440 Speaker 2: and eating it sparingly. Because where we get saturated fat 129 00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:58,400 Speaker 2: in the diet is from snack food, it is from 130 00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:01,600 Speaker 2: cakes and pastries, it is dairy, and it is from meat. 131 00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:04,440 Speaker 2: So it's just good to be aware that if you 132 00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:06,200 Speaker 2: do have high cholesterol and you do need to be 133 00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:08,839 Speaker 2: a little bit mindful about your saturated fat intake, this 134 00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:10,920 Speaker 2: is giving you a good chunk at least a third 135 00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:13,800 Speaker 2: of your upper daily intake in that portion. But you 136 00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:15,760 Speaker 2: are right, it's relatively low in sugars. They and it's 137 00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:18,119 Speaker 2: three point five grams for that twenty five gram serve 138 00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:20,880 Speaker 2: and the calories at one point fifty. I you know, 139 00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:22,440 Speaker 2: if at the end of the day with clients I 140 00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:24,719 Speaker 2: sway to them, you've probably got one hundred maybe churn 141 00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:26,760 Speaker 2: to calories spare if you want to have dessert or 142 00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:28,360 Speaker 2: if you want to have a glass of wine. So 143 00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:31,360 Speaker 2: this will sort of fit there quite nicely in portion control. 144 00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:34,240 Speaker 2: So there's pros and colons like anything, but you're right, 145 00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:36,840 Speaker 2: you know, for those people who have a history of 146 00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:39,400 Speaker 2: issues with cholesterol and liver, you do have to be 147 00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:42,120 Speaker 2: a little bit mindful. It sits in that category similar 148 00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:44,320 Speaker 2: to meat and dairy, and you want to eliminate as 149 00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:46,120 Speaker 2: much other processed food as you can. 150 00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:47,760 Speaker 1: And I think that's a good point because I think 151 00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:49,400 Speaker 1: a lot of people would add in something like a 152 00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:51,640 Speaker 1: this is eighty five percent coco. This is a good 153 00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:53,520 Speaker 1: quality type of dark chocolate. You know a lot of 154 00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:55,760 Speaker 1: brands out there will say it's dark chocolate. When you 155 00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:58,200 Speaker 1: look at the label it's like forty percent. You know 156 00:06:58,320 --> 00:07:01,160 Speaker 1: it's sixty percent. So I think from the research it 157 00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:03,919 Speaker 1: shows as Susie, it's over seventy is over seventy or 158 00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:07,200 Speaker 1: eighty percent to really get the antioxidant benefits. 159 00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:09,120 Speaker 2: I think they're pretty similar. I think basically the higher 160 00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:12,480 Speaker 2: the better, the higher amount, the better the quality. So 161 00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:15,120 Speaker 2: as part of a Mediterranean diet, a really well balanced 162 00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:18,440 Speaker 2: diet that doesn't contain much other processed food at all. 163 00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:21,200 Speaker 2: It's a great addition, but as we're going to talk 164 00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:23,720 Speaker 2: in a future episode, people add this in and then 165 00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:25,440 Speaker 2: their diet will still has the other rubbish in it, 166 00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:27,640 Speaker 2: and that's where it's not healthy. So it's always about 167 00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:32,080 Speaker 2: the context. So but it is certainly I know that 168 00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:34,600 Speaker 2: people love this flavor lead and that's important. You know, 169 00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:36,120 Speaker 2: it's no good if we come in here and say 170 00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:38,360 Speaker 2: this is a great product if it tastes like rubbish. 171 00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:41,960 Speaker 2: So the fact we know this is incredibly popular and 172 00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:45,520 Speaker 2: then nutritionally really good quality at eighty five percent level 173 00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:50,360 Speaker 2: is fantastic. So yeah, absolutely, I haven't been specifically recommending 174 00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:52,920 Speaker 2: products like this, but I probably will think about this 175 00:07:52,960 --> 00:07:55,000 Speaker 2: a little bit more now I know people like it, 176 00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:58,040 Speaker 2: and it really does have that very high percentage of cocoa, 177 00:07:58,080 --> 00:08:00,720 Speaker 2: which is where the nutrition comes from. Just going back 178 00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:05,080 Speaker 2: to that alcalis reduce that cocoa powder. I suspect that's 179 00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:08,040 Speaker 2: just to keep its shelf life stable. Yeah, okay, because 180 00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:10,040 Speaker 2: it's important. They'll have quite a long life on it, 181 00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:12,000 Speaker 2: and because it is fat, it can be unstable and 182 00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:14,600 Speaker 2: you get that bloom on it. So I would suspect 183 00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:16,840 Speaker 2: that's just a processing aid to keep it better in 184 00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:18,600 Speaker 2: good quality when you buy it at the shop. 185 00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:20,440 Speaker 1: Yeah, which I think is fine. Like I think people 186 00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:22,240 Speaker 1: you know, looking for a really clean ingredient least, we 187 00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:24,480 Speaker 1: don't want any you know, extra things in there that 188 00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:26,000 Speaker 1: it needs to be there. But I think something like 189 00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:28,360 Speaker 1: that to keep it shelf stable, as you mentioned, is 190 00:08:28,360 --> 00:08:30,600 Speaker 1: absolutely fine. We wouldn't really be too concerned with that. 191 00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:33,079 Speaker 1: But as you said, I really agree the context is important. 192 00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:35,240 Speaker 1: So this is a better quality dark chocolate, but let's 193 00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:37,360 Speaker 1: not sugarcoated. It's still a chocolate at the end of 194 00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:39,160 Speaker 1: the day. And I think people when they look at 195 00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:41,400 Speaker 1: something like that, they're like, oh, this doesn't counter or 196 00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:43,200 Speaker 1: it doesn't matter because it's such a good quality, I'll 197 00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:44,959 Speaker 1: just add it in. But as you said, if you're 198 00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:47,280 Speaker 1: having two glasses of wine every night and you're having 199 00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:49,880 Speaker 1: a pastry in the afternoon, and you're having meat three four, 200 00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:52,960 Speaker 1: five times a week, you're probably not doing yourself a 201 00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:55,320 Speaker 1: favor from a health perspective by adding something like this. 202 00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:57,120 Speaker 1: You really need to look at the quality of your 203 00:08:57,160 --> 00:08:59,520 Speaker 1: diet overall. But I quite like this. I really actually 204 00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:01,719 Speaker 1: enjoy this brand from Aldi sus It's it's beautiful. It 205 00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:03,640 Speaker 1: has a beautiful mouth feel when you eat it as well. 206 00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:05,640 Speaker 1: I think that's from the high percentage of cocoa butter. 207 00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:08,040 Speaker 1: It's very popular. So I glad we included this one 208 00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:10,280 Speaker 1: to day because it is very affordable, it's great from 209 00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:13,040 Speaker 1: a portion control perspective, and as you said, it tastes delicious. 210 00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:15,960 Speaker 1: So the other big one we're going to review is 211 00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:18,560 Speaker 1: a manufactured in France. This is our Lint brand, and 212 00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:20,400 Speaker 1: again Lint, I think probably has to be one of 213 00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:23,160 Speaker 1: the most popular chocolate brands of all time. I myself, 214 00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:25,480 Speaker 1: I'm a massive Lint fan, and even though they're not 215 00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:28,679 Speaker 1: individually portioned, when you break them off the squares, I 216 00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:31,360 Speaker 1: feel like they're individually portioned. So the squares are about 217 00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:34,040 Speaker 1: serving size is twenty grands in this one, so slightly 218 00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:36,880 Speaker 1: lower than the Audi one at twenty five grams, and 219 00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:39,800 Speaker 1: the Lint we've chosen this seventy percent cocoa one in here. 220 00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:42,439 Speaker 1: As I said, Mahabi, it's the ninety five percent one, 221 00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:45,280 Speaker 1: so as I say, he's pretty hardcore. Seventy to eighty 222 00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:47,360 Speaker 1: percent is probably the most that I like. I think 223 00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:49,520 Speaker 1: it gets too bitter after that, but it is a 224 00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:52,319 Speaker 1: little bit more expensive. So this block retails for five 225 00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:54,880 Speaker 1: dollars for one hundred grams, compared to the Audi one 226 00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:57,520 Speaker 1: is two ninety nine for one hundred and twenty five grams. 227 00:09:57,559 --> 00:09:59,360 Speaker 1: So I know it does come on sale a lot 228 00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:01,439 Speaker 1: of coals and will, but this is one that is 229 00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:04,920 Speaker 1: a little bit more costly than some of the other brands. 230 00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:07,200 Speaker 1: So serving size is twenty grams. But again we'll go 231 00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:09,360 Speaker 1: through the one hundred gram column. So, Suzi, do you 232 00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:12,160 Speaker 1: want to run us through the per hundred gram amount 233 00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:12,600 Speaker 1: on this one? 234 00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:16,240 Speaker 2: Sure, So per hundred grams it is twenty three hundred 235 00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:18,920 Speaker 2: and fifty kilo jewels, which is what is that about? 236 00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:22,960 Speaker 2: Six almost six hundred calories nine point five grams are protein, 237 00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:26,880 Speaker 2: forty one percent total fat, so certainly a high fat food. 238 00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:31,160 Speaker 2: Twenty four gram saturated so that's about what is that 239 00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:34,800 Speaker 2: eight grams less so not insignificant, sorry, yes, eight grams 240 00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:37,920 Speaker 2: less than the AUDI product carbo hydrate thirty four grams, 241 00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:40,880 Speaker 2: twenty nine grams of which is sugar. So basically what's 242 00:10:40,880 --> 00:10:45,240 Speaker 2: happening in this formulation. It's got less saturated fat but 243 00:10:45,280 --> 00:10:46,920 Speaker 2: more sugar, and that's the way food works. You know, 244 00:10:46,920 --> 00:10:48,559 Speaker 2: if you've got something that's got less fat, it's often 245 00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:50,640 Speaker 2: got more carbohydrate. They've got to make the food out 246 00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:54,520 Speaker 2: of something. So the ingredient lis Land is really clean, 247 00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:58,640 Speaker 2: like cocoa, mass, sugar, cocoa, butter, vanilla. So the Audi 248 00:10:58,679 --> 00:11:00,720 Speaker 2: one is pretty clean too, but this is even more 249 00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:03,960 Speaker 2: is even more clean. And all they've done, is we've said, 250 00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:06,360 Speaker 2: is they've got a little because the cocoa percentage is 251 00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:09,679 Speaker 2: less seventy percent versus eighty five percent. They've pulled some 252 00:11:09,720 --> 00:11:12,920 Speaker 2: fat out and they've added extra sugar to give it 253 00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:15,160 Speaker 2: at you know, the flavor that we love, which is sweeter. 254 00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:18,840 Speaker 2: So this translates. I think you'll be more familiar than 255 00:11:18,880 --> 00:11:21,040 Speaker 2: this an I am, because I'm not a link chocolate person. 256 00:11:21,520 --> 00:11:24,079 Speaker 2: But a square I believe of lint. So a little 257 00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:27,000 Speaker 2: square of cabridge is about five whereas a square of 258 00:11:27,040 --> 00:11:29,640 Speaker 2: lintz ten gram, So twenty grams is two of the 259 00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:33,240 Speaker 2: largest squares. Now, lean The problem I have with lint 260 00:11:33,679 --> 00:11:35,960 Speaker 2: is that in terms of the Audi one, you take 261 00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:39,080 Speaker 2: the row and that's the serve, whereas this like only 262 00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:41,440 Speaker 2: two thirds of the rows to serve. Now, let's be honest, 263 00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:44,360 Speaker 2: who's leaving an extra square, so most people are consuming 264 00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:47,400 Speaker 2: thirty grams. That's at least that's my experience. It's also 265 00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:50,120 Speaker 2: relatively expensive, like five dollars for that block, is it 266 00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:52,800 Speaker 2: is one hundred grams, Like you are, you know, paying 267 00:11:52,840 --> 00:11:55,080 Speaker 2: a premium price for this. Now, I know that chocolate's 268 00:11:55,080 --> 00:11:57,600 Speaker 2: often half price in Woolies and Goals, but it's not 269 00:11:57,840 --> 00:12:00,520 Speaker 2: an insignificant amount to be spending. Eye they're on a 270 00:12:00,559 --> 00:12:04,320 Speaker 2: treat type food, I think overall in terms of the 271 00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:07,920 Speaker 2: grocery budget. So in terms of that twenty grams for 272 00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:10,439 Speaker 2: two squares, it's just over one hundred calories, which is 273 00:12:10,520 --> 00:12:13,160 Speaker 2: quite a nice portion if you can control yourself. Eight 274 00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:15,920 Speaker 2: point two grams are fat total and four point it saturated, 275 00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:18,680 Speaker 2: so a little bit less, but it's not so much 276 00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:20,720 Speaker 2: less you would say it's a much better product. It's 277 00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:23,200 Speaker 2: still relatively high and saturated fat. It's still giving you 278 00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:26,560 Speaker 2: a third, you know, a quarter of your recommended upper 279 00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:30,079 Speaker 2: daily intake in that couple of squares. The sugars again, 280 00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:33,600 Speaker 2: it's almost double, so five point eight gram so about 281 00:12:33,640 --> 00:12:36,520 Speaker 2: just over a teaspoon of sugar in those two tiny squares. 282 00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:39,000 Speaker 2: So you know, I kind of sit middle ground with it. 283 00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:43,520 Speaker 2: Leanne like, I think it's quite a good product. I 284 00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:46,079 Speaker 2: think if I was choosing between the Audi and the LIN, 285 00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:49,559 Speaker 2: I'd probably say the Audi it because really, even though 286 00:12:49,559 --> 00:12:53,880 Speaker 2: the saturated fat in the AUDI is higher, it's it's 287 00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:56,160 Speaker 2: a good portion control. You're less like it over eat 288 00:12:56,160 --> 00:12:58,760 Speaker 2: it because if we said, right, people are probably not 289 00:12:58,840 --> 00:13:00,720 Speaker 2: going to have two squares of LIN, They're probably going 290 00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:02,680 Speaker 2: to have three. Well, then the saturated fat's almost the 291 00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:06,680 Speaker 2: same as the AUDI one, So I think it's mindful 292 00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:10,400 Speaker 2: to be It's still a treat. Two squares is a serve, 293 00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:12,680 Speaker 2: and if you're going to be buying this product, you 294 00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:14,320 Speaker 2: really want to be able to control yourself and make 295 00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:17,080 Speaker 2: sure you can only have two squares because in my experience, 296 00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:19,680 Speaker 2: the squares strope break off that easily either so when 297 00:13:19,679 --> 00:13:22,320 Speaker 2: you flip you break it, you get a little bit 298 00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:23,760 Speaker 2: of the next one anyway, and of course then you 299 00:13:23,840 --> 00:13:25,920 Speaker 2: eat it. So it's not overly helpful when it comes 300 00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:28,640 Speaker 2: to portion control. And I would be encouraging Link to 301 00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:32,120 Speaker 2: do more portion control packs myself, because you know, it 302 00:13:32,160 --> 00:13:34,040 Speaker 2: really does sit in a snack category for a lot 303 00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:35,000 Speaker 2: of people after dinner. 304 00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:37,439 Speaker 1: I mean, I love the limp balls because again, like 305 00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:40,360 Speaker 1: they're really easily portion controls, but they're expensive. I mean, 306 00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:42,360 Speaker 1: I really love them because I tend to. I think 307 00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:45,040 Speaker 1: people know that Link's one of my favorite brands. It's creamy, 308 00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:47,000 Speaker 1: the mouth feels beautiful, and I think I get a 309 00:13:47,040 --> 00:13:48,960 Speaker 1: lot of it if it's my birthaer, it's Christmas or 310 00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:50,760 Speaker 1: something like that. Like I said to Mum, I don't want, 311 00:13:50,800 --> 00:13:52,440 Speaker 1: you know, the normal chocolate. Give me some limp balls. 312 00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:55,720 Speaker 1: They're beautiful than my favorite, but they're honestly, they're really expensive, 313 00:13:55,760 --> 00:13:57,920 Speaker 1: and again, unless they're sort of half prize that calls 314 00:13:57,920 --> 00:14:00,720 Speaker 1: on waves, I don't really touch them because they're not 315 00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:03,360 Speaker 1: really budget friendly at all, although they are delicious, So 316 00:14:03,559 --> 00:14:06,360 Speaker 1: I prefer the little balls versus sometimes they're squares because 317 00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:08,600 Speaker 1: they are a little bit better portion control wise. But 318 00:14:08,880 --> 00:14:10,880 Speaker 1: I agree. I think both of the products are excellent. 319 00:14:11,080 --> 00:14:13,400 Speaker 1: They're both very good quality dark chocolates. But I just 320 00:14:13,440 --> 00:14:15,120 Speaker 1: don't want people to lose sight of the fact that 321 00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:17,400 Speaker 1: it is still at chocolate. It's not something we can 322 00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:19,680 Speaker 1: just add will nearly into our diet and go all right, 323 00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:21,320 Speaker 1: We'll have a couple of squares every single night, and 324 00:14:21,400 --> 00:14:23,600 Speaker 1: that's fine and it doesn't count. But I don't think 325 00:14:23,640 --> 00:14:26,320 Speaker 1: there's too much of a different serving size wise to say, 326 00:14:26,520 --> 00:14:29,680 Speaker 1: if you were, say diabetic versus having high cholesterol, you 327 00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:32,240 Speaker 1: would go one towards the other shore ones they're audi 328 00:14:32,280 --> 00:14:34,600 Speaker 1: ones higher and saturated fat, and they're lit ones higher 329 00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:36,520 Speaker 1: and sugar. But I don't really think it makes as 330 00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:38,960 Speaker 1: long as you can stick to the recommended portion sizes. 331 00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:41,360 Speaker 1: I don't really think it makes that much difference clinically 332 00:14:41,880 --> 00:14:44,080 Speaker 1: or have that much of a clinical difference or effect 333 00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:46,600 Speaker 1: to really be recommending one or the other. And I'm 334 00:14:46,640 --> 00:14:48,800 Speaker 1: like USUZI I would probably lean towards the audi one 335 00:14:48,960 --> 00:14:51,200 Speaker 1: just from a budgeting perspective, because I think it is 336 00:14:51,240 --> 00:14:52,360 Speaker 1: a lot more cost affordable. 337 00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:54,880 Speaker 2: I would agree, and it is reflective of the better 338 00:14:54,960 --> 00:14:58,200 Speaker 2: quality ingredients and sort of global issues in terms of supply, 339 00:14:58,440 --> 00:15:02,480 Speaker 2: So things like cocoa mass cocoa butter are very very expensive, 340 00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:05,120 Speaker 2: and the same in the case of Caboy's chocolate, which 341 00:15:05,160 --> 00:15:08,080 Speaker 2: is of course a milk based chocolate. Milk is really expensive, 342 00:15:08,160 --> 00:15:12,080 Speaker 2: so that explains why the cost of these products are increasing. 343 00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:15,200 Speaker 2: But I never would pay full price for chocolate, like 344 00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:17,720 Speaker 2: I will only ever purchase it when it's half priced, 345 00:15:17,720 --> 00:15:20,240 Speaker 2: So it's you know, as part of a budget issue. 346 00:15:20,280 --> 00:15:22,480 Speaker 2: It's some fair enough. And the thing with limp balls 347 00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:24,880 Speaker 2: is that that one limp ball is not in significant 348 00:15:24,920 --> 00:15:27,880 Speaker 2: in calories either. So it's a rich food and a 349 00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:30,080 Speaker 2: reminder of how little of these high fat foods we 350 00:15:30,160 --> 00:15:33,960 Speaker 2: need to get the actual high fat amounts. You know, 351 00:15:33,960 --> 00:15:35,840 Speaker 2: they're not products. You can have six limp balls, but 352 00:15:36,160 --> 00:15:37,840 Speaker 2: I know what to bring up to Brisbane next time. 353 00:15:37,880 --> 00:15:40,200 Speaker 1: I know you're a sneaky limp ball lover. Definitely that 354 00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:42,720 Speaker 1: in the bottle of French rose. I'll be your best friend. 355 00:15:43,800 --> 00:15:45,720 Speaker 1: But also a good point with limpballs. They're not the 356 00:15:45,800 --> 00:15:48,160 Speaker 1: high We're not getting the benefits of the antioxidant content 357 00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:50,360 Speaker 1: because the limp balls aren't eighty percent cocoa mass either, 358 00:15:50,560 --> 00:15:52,320 Speaker 1: So I think that's probably a good point. Then. More 359 00:15:52,680 --> 00:15:54,800 Speaker 1: like a milk chocolate based if anything, and it's something 360 00:15:54,800 --> 00:15:57,240 Speaker 1: that you're going to eat because it's delicious, but it's 361 00:15:57,360 --> 00:15:59,520 Speaker 1: very hard to sort of stop eating because although they 362 00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:01,360 Speaker 1: are portioned size, you don't get that nice sort of 363 00:16:01,560 --> 00:16:04,160 Speaker 1: bitterness effect that a good quality dark chocolate gives you, 364 00:16:04,200 --> 00:16:06,320 Speaker 1: which really helps you to sort of stop over eating, 365 00:16:06,400 --> 00:16:08,920 Speaker 1: or I feel anyway, So I think that's an important 366 00:16:08,920 --> 00:16:10,920 Speaker 1: point it's really that you need to be, you know, 367 00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:13,680 Speaker 1: upwards of seventy eighty percent coco to really get those 368 00:16:13,760 --> 00:16:17,080 Speaker 1: high quality antioxidant benefits. So the last one we've chosen 369 00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:19,880 Speaker 1: Susy today is our good old friend Cabri, but we've 370 00:16:19,920 --> 00:16:22,000 Speaker 1: chosen the old Gold variety, and I think a lot 371 00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:23,720 Speaker 1: of people just look at that and think Cabria. It's 372 00:16:23,720 --> 00:16:26,040 Speaker 1: not actually that good quality. But I think some people 373 00:16:26,080 --> 00:16:28,200 Speaker 1: would be surprised to know that this actually has eighty 374 00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:30,800 Speaker 1: one percent dark chocolate in it. So we've gone towards 375 00:16:30,800 --> 00:16:33,840 Speaker 1: the old Gold Roast alm and variety. So this is 376 00:16:33,880 --> 00:16:36,000 Speaker 1: five dollars for a block, and I think the block 377 00:16:36,040 --> 00:16:38,000 Speaker 1: is one hundred and eighty grams, so compared to the 378 00:16:38,080 --> 00:16:41,080 Speaker 1: lint that was five dollars for a block, at one 379 00:16:41,160 --> 00:16:44,160 Speaker 1: hundred grams, you're getting nearly double the product for the 380 00:16:44,200 --> 00:16:47,680 Speaker 1: same price. So affordability wise, again, it's quite a lot 381 00:16:47,680 --> 00:16:50,400 Speaker 1: more budget friendly. So a serving size is twenty five 382 00:16:50,480 --> 00:16:53,400 Speaker 1: grams in the old Gold Roast Almond or four squares. 383 00:16:53,560 --> 00:16:56,000 Speaker 1: So these squares are a lot smaller than the lint, 384 00:16:56,320 --> 00:16:58,960 Speaker 1: than the Limp variety. Like I think they probably a 385 00:16:59,040 --> 00:17:01,600 Speaker 1: third of the size or half the size they're quite small. 386 00:17:01,640 --> 00:17:03,120 Speaker 1: The squares in the old gold, Oh. 387 00:17:03,080 --> 00:17:05,240 Speaker 2: They're tiny. They're the typical cabria. But what I'm just 388 00:17:05,320 --> 00:17:08,280 Speaker 2: checking the in is even though the traditional old gold 389 00:17:08,520 --> 00:17:12,159 Speaker 2: is listed to seventy percent cocoa mass, it doesn't list 390 00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:14,840 Speaker 2: on this product, which makes me think it's not the See, 391 00:17:14,840 --> 00:17:18,040 Speaker 2: this is only forty five percent cocoa, so it's got 392 00:17:18,080 --> 00:17:21,000 Speaker 2: a much lower percentage, which is why it's not claimed. 393 00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:23,800 Speaker 2: So it's one that allows it to be cheaper, but 394 00:17:23,920 --> 00:17:26,399 Speaker 2: you're not getting the antioxidant benefits that you would have 395 00:17:26,440 --> 00:17:29,800 Speaker 2: something that's the seventy or even eighty five percent. So 396 00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:32,040 Speaker 2: that's important to know because you can get a high 397 00:17:32,440 --> 00:17:35,320 Speaker 2: percentage cocoa goal, but it's not part of this rostum. 398 00:17:35,359 --> 00:17:36,760 Speaker 2: And this is only forty five percent. 399 00:17:37,040 --> 00:17:39,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, I see that now, So it says dark chocolate 400 00:17:39,080 --> 00:17:41,440 Speaker 1: eighty one percent. But that's sort of it's very misleading, 401 00:17:41,520 --> 00:17:44,080 Speaker 1: isn't it From a marketing perspective. The cocoa mass in 402 00:17:44,080 --> 00:17:46,400 Speaker 1: there is actually only forty five percent, So we wouldn't 403 00:17:46,400 --> 00:17:48,080 Speaker 1: call this very high, would we know. 404 00:17:48,320 --> 00:17:51,720 Speaker 2: That's why this sugar is first. Yeah. Interesting, Yeah, so 405 00:17:51,720 --> 00:17:54,000 Speaker 2: there's a little tweak there, and that's the difference in chocolates. 406 00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:57,520 Speaker 2: That's why it's a bit cheaper. Obviously you're getting some 407 00:17:57,600 --> 00:17:58,560 Speaker 2: benefits of some numb, but. 408 00:17:58,560 --> 00:18:00,000 Speaker 1: It doesn't taste anywhere near as bitter. 409 00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:03,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, And their first ingredients sugar, So that's just sort 410 00:18:03,160 --> 00:18:06,399 Speaker 2: of an indication of the different formulations and the quality. 411 00:18:06,480 --> 00:18:08,480 Speaker 1: Yeah. Interesting. So if we look at the ingredient list, 412 00:18:08,520 --> 00:18:11,800 Speaker 1: we've got sugar first, and then cocoa mass, then almonds 413 00:18:11,800 --> 00:18:16,080 Speaker 1: and cocoa butter fourth, with milk solids and mulsifiers, and 414 00:18:16,080 --> 00:18:17,879 Speaker 1: it just says flavor last. I'm not quite sure what 415 00:18:17,920 --> 00:18:20,080 Speaker 1: the flavor is there. So I think that's probably the 416 00:18:20,080 --> 00:18:22,760 Speaker 1: biggest difference between the three ones we've review today. This 417 00:18:22,800 --> 00:18:25,560 Speaker 1: one has sugar first and cocoa butter four. So I 418 00:18:25,560 --> 00:18:28,320 Speaker 1: think the quality of this overall, if we're just comparing 419 00:18:28,400 --> 00:18:31,360 Speaker 1: dark chocolates, is just not as good quality. As you said. 420 00:18:31,359 --> 00:18:34,200 Speaker 1: We're not getting those antioxidant benefits. So when we look 421 00:18:34,240 --> 00:18:37,359 Speaker 1: at the nutrition label per hundred grams, we've got just 422 00:18:37,480 --> 00:18:41,560 Speaker 1: over two thousand kilodeels, we've got nine grams of nine 423 00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:44,760 Speaker 1: grams of protein, and they four grams total fat and 424 00:18:44,800 --> 00:18:47,960 Speaker 1: sixteen grams of saturated fat, so lower saturated fat percentage, 425 00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:50,080 Speaker 1: which would make sense because cocoa butter is a little 426 00:18:50,080 --> 00:18:52,440 Speaker 1: bit further down the list of ingredients. Then we've got 427 00:18:52,440 --> 00:18:55,639 Speaker 1: forty seven grams of carbohydrates and forty three grams of sugar, 428 00:18:55,760 --> 00:18:58,000 Speaker 1: So the sugar content in this one is a lot higher, 429 00:18:58,040 --> 00:19:00,720 Speaker 1: and that makes sense because sugar's our top ingredient. And 430 00:19:00,760 --> 00:19:03,080 Speaker 1: then we've got thirty listed of seven milligrams, which is 431 00:19:03,160 --> 00:19:06,040 Speaker 1: basically nothing. So when we look at the serving size 432 00:19:06,040 --> 00:19:08,680 Speaker 1: for twenty five grams, so four little squares gives us 433 00:19:08,800 --> 00:19:11,399 Speaker 1: five hundred and sixty eight kilodials, two grams of protein, 434 00:19:11,520 --> 00:19:14,080 Speaker 1: eight point six grams of total fat, four grams of 435 00:19:14,119 --> 00:19:17,879 Speaker 1: saturated fat, so lower saturated fat, but higher sugar at 436 00:19:17,920 --> 00:19:20,840 Speaker 1: ten point seven grams of sugar. So I think this one, 437 00:19:20,920 --> 00:19:24,040 Speaker 1: Zuzi would definitely come out of the three, definitely little last, 438 00:19:24,119 --> 00:19:26,600 Speaker 1: just because it's not that good quality as the other 439 00:19:26,640 --> 00:19:27,240 Speaker 1: two brands. 440 00:19:27,440 --> 00:19:30,000 Speaker 2: I think that the sugar is basically double so compared 441 00:19:30,040 --> 00:19:32,200 Speaker 2: to the other chocolates that you're getting in that little 442 00:19:32,280 --> 00:19:34,719 Speaker 2: sort of portion control just over a teaspoon here, you're 443 00:19:34,720 --> 00:19:38,119 Speaker 2: definitely getting two solid teaspoons of sugar, you know. And 444 00:19:38,160 --> 00:19:40,800 Speaker 2: I think for people who love roast almond and it's delicious, 445 00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:44,680 Speaker 2: and they really find that satisfying. You know, if you're 446 00:19:44,680 --> 00:19:48,600 Speaker 2: comparing say the four little pieces of it, about one 447 00:19:48,640 --> 00:19:51,200 Speaker 2: of those pieces you're supposed to get worth of an almond. 448 00:19:51,280 --> 00:19:53,040 Speaker 2: So it's not a huge amount either. I think sometimes 449 00:19:53,080 --> 00:19:54,720 Speaker 2: when we think there's nuts in chocolate, we think, great, 450 00:19:54,760 --> 00:19:56,680 Speaker 2: we'll get a served nuts. You'd be lucky to get 451 00:19:56,680 --> 00:19:58,679 Speaker 2: one or two almonds as part of that, you know, 452 00:19:58,880 --> 00:20:04,040 Speaker 2: overall chocolate. I think for me, lan if you're someone 453 00:20:04,119 --> 00:20:07,800 Speaker 2: who doesn't like, for example myself, I would never buy 454 00:20:07,920 --> 00:20:11,040 Speaker 2: dark chocolate as my soul food after dinner. I just wouldn't. 455 00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:14,879 Speaker 2: But I would buy an old gold rum and raisin, 456 00:20:15,040 --> 00:20:16,960 Speaker 2: which I am a bit partial to. I will admit 457 00:20:17,600 --> 00:20:19,600 Speaker 2: and have that with a cup of tea and be 458 00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:22,359 Speaker 2: quite satisfied. So I think, if it means that you're 459 00:20:22,800 --> 00:20:25,800 Speaker 2: going to have some dark chocolate rather than forty five 460 00:20:25,880 --> 00:20:29,560 Speaker 2: rows of milk, it's a good choice. But it's not 461 00:20:29,760 --> 00:20:31,960 Speaker 2: the best, you know, So I think that it's still 462 00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:37,000 Speaker 2: got some benefit. But absolutely the other two far outweigh nutritionally. 463 00:20:37,600 --> 00:20:39,800 Speaker 2: If you like them and sort of still get that 464 00:20:39,840 --> 00:20:41,639 Speaker 2: same level of enjoyment out of them. 465 00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:44,200 Speaker 1: I agree, And I think from a marketing perspective, people 466 00:20:44,240 --> 00:20:46,560 Speaker 1: are probably going to go towards this because they see 467 00:20:46,560 --> 00:20:48,199 Speaker 1: it labeled as dark choking. You think, well, I'm going 468 00:20:48,240 --> 00:20:50,639 Speaker 1: to get this because it's better than say the Cabria 469 00:20:50,720 --> 00:20:53,360 Speaker 1: milk chocolate. And sure, if we're looking at it, it probably 470 00:20:53,440 --> 00:20:55,800 Speaker 1: is better nutritionally because you're getting you know, you're getting 471 00:20:55,840 --> 00:20:58,080 Speaker 1: forty five percent cocoa solids, and you're getting some benefits 472 00:20:58,119 --> 00:21:00,880 Speaker 1: of the roast almond, although you know, roast overalls only 473 00:21:00,960 --> 00:21:03,359 Speaker 1: nineteen percent, so in terms of added nuts, you're not 474 00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:05,439 Speaker 1: getting too much. So I think it more has a 475 00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:08,119 Speaker 1: health halo effect to it. So I agree with you 476 00:21:08,200 --> 00:21:10,399 Speaker 1: choose the one that you like or enjoy the most 477 00:21:10,480 --> 00:21:13,399 Speaker 1: and the one you're less likely to really overreach on, 478 00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:15,359 Speaker 1: because I really think portion control. This is still a 479 00:21:15,359 --> 00:21:17,240 Speaker 1: treat at the end of the day. We can't sugarcoat 480 00:21:17,240 --> 00:21:20,280 Speaker 1: that it's still a treat. It's still it's still chocolate 481 00:21:20,280 --> 00:21:21,840 Speaker 1: at the end of the day. So it's really what 482 00:21:21,920 --> 00:21:23,760 Speaker 1: you prefer and what you like the most, and you're 483 00:21:23,800 --> 00:21:26,280 Speaker 1: able to kind of portion size the most because this 484 00:21:26,320 --> 00:21:29,440 Speaker 1: isn't something that's good for our health necessarily, and we're 485 00:21:29,480 --> 00:21:31,840 Speaker 1: not really getting any added health benefits. From this one 486 00:21:31,840 --> 00:21:34,880 Speaker 1: in particular. The other two shore we're getting some added antioxidants, 487 00:21:34,920 --> 00:21:37,800 Speaker 1: but they're still quite high in saturated fat and sugar overall. 488 00:21:37,920 --> 00:21:39,880 Speaker 1: So I think I think this one as well. It's 489 00:21:39,880 --> 00:21:42,359 Speaker 1: not overly cheap either. It's five dollars for a block 490 00:21:42,359 --> 00:21:44,639 Speaker 1: of it as well, so I'm probably I think the 491 00:21:44,680 --> 00:21:47,080 Speaker 1: Aldi one for me, Susie really tops us out today. 492 00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:48,880 Speaker 1: I think that's probably my favorite one of the three, 493 00:21:48,960 --> 00:21:51,720 Speaker 1: if you're someone that can actually enjoy eighty five percent 494 00:21:51,800 --> 00:21:53,280 Speaker 1: cocoa and a lot a lot of people find it 495 00:21:53,320 --> 00:21:54,400 Speaker 1: too bitter, true. 496 00:21:54,160 --> 00:21:56,080 Speaker 2: And I love the portion control. I think the more 497 00:21:56,119 --> 00:21:58,520 Speaker 2: portion control sweats we have, the better. But you know, 498 00:21:58,600 --> 00:22:00,679 Speaker 2: companies don't want to portion and control because they want 499 00:22:00,720 --> 00:22:03,119 Speaker 2: you to eat the block exactly at the end of 500 00:22:03,119 --> 00:22:05,280 Speaker 2: the day, so there's no real incentive for them. So 501 00:22:05,640 --> 00:22:07,720 Speaker 2: you know, I think that it's really worth of a discussion, 502 00:22:07,720 --> 00:22:10,760 Speaker 2: and I think it's also a great opportunity lean to 503 00:22:10,840 --> 00:22:13,600 Speaker 2: get people aware of the individual portions of saturated fat, 504 00:22:13,640 --> 00:22:16,119 Speaker 2: which we don't always speak of. So you know, roughly 505 00:22:16,160 --> 00:22:18,920 Speaker 2: you've probably got fifteen, maybe twenty grams are saturated fat 506 00:22:18,920 --> 00:22:20,720 Speaker 2: to play with, and if you want to use a 507 00:22:20,720 --> 00:22:22,520 Speaker 2: third of that for your chocolate. Just keep in mind 508 00:22:22,560 --> 00:22:25,280 Speaker 2: the other food choices do need to be lower saturated 509 00:22:25,320 --> 00:22:27,840 Speaker 2: fat and also our sugars leanne You know, it's recommended 510 00:22:27,880 --> 00:22:31,200 Speaker 2: by the World Health Organization that Australian adults consume less 511 00:22:31,240 --> 00:22:35,439 Speaker 2: than twenty five grams six tea spoons of added sugar 512 00:22:35,560 --> 00:22:38,000 Speaker 2: into their diet each day, and in the case of 513 00:22:38,320 --> 00:22:41,000 Speaker 2: the old Gold, that's more than a third of your 514 00:22:41,119 --> 00:22:44,399 Speaker 2: recommended intake of added sugars that are coming from other foods. 515 00:22:44,400 --> 00:22:46,040 Speaker 2: So if you want to do a little quick calculation, 516 00:22:46,440 --> 00:22:48,639 Speaker 2: it's a good opportunity to see where those slip in 517 00:22:48,920 --> 00:22:51,320 Speaker 2: and how easy it is to over shoot the mark 518 00:22:51,359 --> 00:22:53,639 Speaker 2: and have far more than that. So I've loved this 519 00:22:53,680 --> 00:22:56,040 Speaker 2: discussion because I think it really breaks down those specific 520 00:22:56,080 --> 00:22:59,000 Speaker 2: amounts of nutrients that you and I calculated in our 521 00:22:59,040 --> 00:23:01,359 Speaker 2: mind when we're working on meal plans, but for people 522 00:23:01,359 --> 00:23:02,879 Speaker 2: to be aware of it too and have a bit 523 00:23:02,880 --> 00:23:04,960 Speaker 2: of a better look at those labels. But do take 524 00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:07,320 Speaker 2: your glasses because let's be honestly, and those labels on 525 00:23:07,359 --> 00:23:09,760 Speaker 2: these chocolate packets are tiny. 526 00:23:10,440 --> 00:23:12,679 Speaker 1: Well. I enjoyed our discussion today as well, and I 527 00:23:12,720 --> 00:23:14,919 Speaker 1: really like that we're getting a nice mix of different products. 528 00:23:14,960 --> 00:23:16,800 Speaker 1: You know, we shout out to our student Amy, she 529 00:23:17,080 --> 00:23:18,719 Speaker 1: went to Aldi and she found a good product for 530 00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:21,560 Speaker 1: us as well today, so we could listen some comparative 531 00:23:21,720 --> 00:23:23,159 Speaker 1: reviews for you guys as well. 532 00:23:23,240 --> 00:23:25,359 Speaker 2: And the other thing we have just spoken about was 533 00:23:25,400 --> 00:23:27,959 Speaker 2: we sort of debated whether to include sugar free chocolate 534 00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:29,760 Speaker 2: in this discussion because we know there's quite a few 535 00:23:29,760 --> 00:23:31,920 Speaker 2: out there that with that everyone loves. And what we've 536 00:23:31,920 --> 00:23:34,119 Speaker 2: decided is we will do a separate review on the 537 00:23:34,160 --> 00:23:37,680 Speaker 2: sugar free varieties of chocolate in an upcoming episode. 538 00:23:37,400 --> 00:23:39,280 Speaker 1: So stay tuned and don't forget guys.
