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 --> 00:00:06,400
Speaker 1: buy dark chocolate as a healthier option? Do you find

3
00:00:06,400 --> 00:00:10,160
Speaker 1: yourself eating the entire block anyway? On today's product review,

4
00:00:10,400 --> 00:00:12,760
Speaker 1: which we are thinking will be one of our most popular,

5
00:00:12,960 --> 00:00:15,760
Speaker 1: we review some of the best dark chocolate varieties in

6
00:00:15,800 --> 00:00:20,680
Speaker 1: supermarkets and discuss is there really a healthier type of chocolate? Hi,

7
00:00:20,880 --> 00:00:21,880
Speaker 1: I'm Leanne Wood.

8
00:00:21,720 --> 00:00:23,400
Speaker 2: And I'm Suzy Burrow, and as two of us.

9
00:00:23,360 --> 00:00:27,120
Speaker 1: Areas leading dietitians, we bring you the Nutrition Couch product review,

10
00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:29,960
Speaker 1: a weekly chat on new products and old favorites you

11
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:34,360
Speaker 1: can find at AUSSI supermarkets. So chocolate, let's be honest, Susie,

12
00:00:34,360 --> 00:00:36,880
Speaker 1: who doesn't love chocolate? But do you love a dark

13
00:00:36,960 --> 00:00:38,559
Speaker 1: chocolate and are you're a fan? Oh?

14
00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:40,400
Speaker 3: I can eat Unlike most people, Lean I can eat

15
00:00:40,400 --> 00:00:45,440
Speaker 3: any chocolate. I am a chocolate lover, but my natural

16
00:00:45,479 --> 00:00:47,640
Speaker 3: tendency is to go towards milk, and I do go

17
00:00:47,720 --> 00:00:50,479
Speaker 3: through sort of phases of different types. At the moment,

18
00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:55,240
Speaker 3: I'm obsessed with boost bars. I do wish that one

19
00:00:55,320 --> 00:00:56,920
Speaker 3: that you don't have to buy the entire box of

20
00:00:56,960 --> 00:00:59,120
Speaker 3: Favorites to get the mini boosts, which are obviously better

21
00:00:59,200 --> 00:00:59,560
Speaker 3: for portion.

22
00:00:59,640 --> 00:00:59,960
Speaker 2: Control.

23
00:01:00,440 --> 00:01:02,400
Speaker 3: I'm waiting for them to bring out a mini boost

24
00:01:02,440 --> 00:01:05,959
Speaker 3: pack so I can portion control. But I go through phases,

25
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:07,480
Speaker 3: you know, that might last for two or three months,

26
00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:09,720
Speaker 3: and then I'll be onto something else. But yeah, I

27
00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:12,679
Speaker 3: don't mind dark chocolate, but I don't routinely buy it.

28
00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:14,640
Speaker 3: And it probably lends itself to a bit of a

29
00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:18,480
Speaker 3: chat about the cognitive control of chocolate versus as you

30
00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:22,160
Speaker 3: described as your soul foods. So I always say to clients,

31
00:01:22,440 --> 00:01:24,959
Speaker 3: don't buy the dark chocolate and eat the whole block

32
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:27,560
Speaker 3: because you think it's better. Really think about what you

33
00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:30,520
Speaker 3: enjoy the most. But you know, there is some evidence

34
00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:33,039
Speaker 3: also to show that there's a programming effect. You know,

35
00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:35,120
Speaker 3: over time you can program yourself to look for the

36
00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:37,600
Speaker 3: more richer flavor. I know that you love dark chocolate.

37
00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:39,560
Speaker 3: You've got one that is it mint? That the one

38
00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:40,000
Speaker 3: that you love?

39
00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:41,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, I love a mint one. I love a good

40
00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:43,160
Speaker 1: mid one and assalted caramel. I love the link. The

41
00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:46,559
Speaker 1: link squares the dark chocolate salted caramel. Yeah, David's pretty

42
00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:48,160
Speaker 1: hard cool. I think you buzz a lint ninety seven

43
00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:49,960
Speaker 1: ninety seven percent That for me is just a little

44
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:52,440
Speaker 1: bit too bitter. But he has problems with portion control,

45
00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:54,400
Speaker 1: so he likes it because he really just the one

46
00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:56,480
Speaker 1: squares enough for him. If we bought the milk chocolate,

47
00:01:56,520 --> 00:01:58,600
Speaker 1: he'd eat the entire block, So for him that works

48
00:01:58,600 --> 00:01:59,720
Speaker 1: really well for portion control.

49
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:01,960
Speaker 3: I have found as I get older, I can't have

50
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:04,160
Speaker 3: blocks of chocolate ever, Like everyone will eat the whole

51
00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:06,640
Speaker 3: block because it's so moorish. So you're not alone if

52
00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:08,480
Speaker 3: you're a whole block eater. It's about learning how to

53
00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:11,200
Speaker 3: portion controller, which we will cover a little bit today.

54
00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:13,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I find dark chocolate for me, it's just easier,

55
00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:15,120
Speaker 1: like it just it's more satisfying.

56
00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:15,919
Speaker 2: Like with milk chocolate.

57
00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:17,960
Speaker 1: I'll eat and eat and eat it and be like, yeah,

58
00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:20,000
Speaker 1: that's okay, but I I don't love it, so I'm

59
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:22,079
Speaker 1: not fully satisfied. So for me, the dark chocolate is

60
00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:24,320
Speaker 1: actually more satisfying I think for whatever is. And I

61
00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:26,400
Speaker 1: just don't think it's as I don't know. I just

62
00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:28,040
Speaker 1: don't want to keep going back for more of it.

63
00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:31,120
Speaker 1: So I'm excited about our review today and the first product.

64
00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:33,959
Speaker 1: Due to popular demand, we've got another Aldi product in here.

65
00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:38,280
Speaker 1: So it's the Monsa Roth eighty five percent coco block

66
00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:40,400
Speaker 1: of chocolate. So this is two ninety nine at Aldi,

67
00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:42,680
Speaker 1: and as serving size is twenty five grams, so they're

68
00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:46,600
Speaker 1: actually portioned to these little like individually bars, So portion

69
00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:49,400
Speaker 1: control wise they're pretty good, even though I would probably say, Susie,

70
00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:53,320
Speaker 1: a portion is probably bigger than some other sort of

71
00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:55,280
Speaker 1: pre portion like the mini little blocks of chocolate or

72
00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:57,280
Speaker 1: a little snack pack. So I think twenty five grams

73
00:02:57,280 --> 00:02:59,079
Speaker 1: is a decent serving for a portion size, so that's

74
00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:02,400
Speaker 1: pretty good. I'm thinking we should probably review per hundred

75
00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:06,400
Speaker 1: grams though today, because each one is a different size.

76
00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:06,839
Speaker 2: I do.

77
00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:09,680
Speaker 3: I love these portion control packs, and it's actually reminder

78
00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:12,440
Speaker 3: to me because I don't routinely shop at Audi. One,

79
00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:14,600
Speaker 3: I know how much people love this product, but also

80
00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:16,080
Speaker 3: that it is one of the few that does come

81
00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:19,760
Speaker 3: in portion controls like this is fantastic, and I agree,

82
00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:22,720
Speaker 3: let's we'll review one hundred grams for comparison. But I

83
00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:25,960
Speaker 3: think this kind of twenty gram twenty five gram service

84
00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:28,720
Speaker 3: makes it so much easier when it comes to controlling

85
00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:30,640
Speaker 3: ourselves around tempting food.

86
00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:32,920
Speaker 1: And individually portioned as well. It's not just you know,

87
00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:34,560
Speaker 1: put into little squares, it's sort of like you have

88
00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:36,560
Speaker 1: to unwrap a whole new thing each time, which is good,

89
00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:38,080
Speaker 1: and it's a good amount so you don't feel like

90
00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:40,440
Speaker 1: you deprived. It's a great amount. Yeah, yeah, so per

91
00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:43,920
Speaker 1: one hundred gram. So we're comparing similar amounts through the

92
00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:46,760
Speaker 1: three different chocolates we're reviewing. So energy wise, we've got

93
00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:49,360
Speaker 1: two five hundred killer duels, or just shy of six

94
00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:52,880
Speaker 1: hundred calories. We've got eleven grams of protein, fifty grams

95
00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:55,560
Speaker 1: of total fat, thirty of that being saturated fat. It's

96
00:03:55,600 --> 00:04:00,000
Speaker 1: actually quite high saturated fat, nearly twenty grams of carbohydrates,

97
00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:03,600
Speaker 1: nearly fourteen grams of sugar, so I guess quite low

98
00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:06,640
Speaker 1: sugar in comparison to high fat. And then that probably

99
00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:08,640
Speaker 1: makes sense when we look at the ingredient list, which

100
00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:12,560
Speaker 1: we've got cocoa mass, cocoa butter, then sugar, then alkalis,

101
00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:15,760
Speaker 1: reduced fat, cocoa powder which I've actually never heard of before,

102
00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:20,120
Speaker 1: SUSI a multifier, and vanilla extract, and the allergin listed

103
00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:22,440
Speaker 1: is soy, so it actually contains soy for anyone with

104
00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:26,320
Speaker 1: our soy allergies at home made in Germany. Yeah, what

105
00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:28,239
Speaker 1: do we think about this one? It's very high saturated

106
00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:29,919
Speaker 1: that that's probably the first thing that stood out to me.

107
00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:32,560
Speaker 1: So if you're somebody with kardiak issues or heart problems

108
00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:34,599
Speaker 1: or in the family, this is probably something that I

109
00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:38,200
Speaker 1: would be very mindful in terms of portion size wise.

110
00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:39,360
Speaker 2: Because for our cardiac.

111
00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:43,600
Speaker 1: Population, probably not great to have something so high and saturated.

112
00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:46,200
Speaker 3: But I think it's a reflection of the quality because

113
00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:49,000
Speaker 3: of course a chocolate that's eighty five percent cocoa and

114
00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:52,000
Speaker 3: well made will have a higher proportion of fat coming

115
00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:54,880
Speaker 3: from the actual cocoa butter, which is why it tastes

116
00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:58,160
Speaker 3: great now. Just as a reference point, So per serve

117
00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:00,200
Speaker 3: on that I know we're talking about hundred grams, but

118
00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:03,320
Speaker 3: per serve at seven point seven grams are saturated fat.

119
00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:06,520
Speaker 3: So for context, if we are trying to achieve what

120
00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:09,039
Speaker 3: we call a one to one to one PMS or

121
00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:12,880
Speaker 3: poly tomonotisaturated fat ratios, which is what is ideal to

122
00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:16,320
Speaker 3: promote cellular health and reduce inflammation in the body for

123
00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:19,279
Speaker 3: the average adult who's say aiming between sixty to eighty

124
00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:23,040
Speaker 3: grams of fat in total per day for weight control,

125
00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:26,000
Speaker 3: and we're breaking that down to roughly fifteen to twenty

126
00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:31,160
Speaker 3: maybe slightly higher grams of each polymonos and saturates for balance.

127
00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:36,440
Speaker 3: So that is giving you about maybe up to a

128
00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:40,440
Speaker 3: half of your entire recommended upper intake of saturated fat

129
00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:43,320
Speaker 3: per day. So for me, if I was counting it,

130
00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:45,120
Speaker 3: I would be like, well, you certainly want to be

131
00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:48,200
Speaker 3: having reduced fat dairy, low fat dairy. You certainly want

132
00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:50,160
Speaker 3: to keep an eye how much cheese you're having, and

133
00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:52,640
Speaker 3: you certainly want to be choosing extremely lean red meat

134
00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:55,400
Speaker 3: and eating it sparingly. Because where we get saturated fat

135
00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:58,400
Speaker 3: in the diet is from snack food, it is from

136
00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:01,040
Speaker 3: cakes and pastries, it is from dairy, and it is

137
00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:04,000
Speaker 3: from meat. So it's just good to be aware that

138
00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:06,040
Speaker 3: if you do have high cholesterol and you do need

139
00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:08,440
Speaker 3: to be a little bit mindful about your saturated fat intake,

140
00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:10,640
Speaker 3: this is giving you a good chunk at least a

141
00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:13,479
Speaker 3: third of your upper daily intake in that portion. But

142
00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:15,560
Speaker 3: you are right, it's relatively low in sugars. They and

143
00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:17,720
Speaker 3: it's three point five grams for that twenty five gram

144
00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:20,880
Speaker 3: serve and the calories at one point fifty. I you know,

145
00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:22,440
Speaker 3: if at the end of the day with clients I

146
00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:24,520
Speaker 3: sway to them, you've probably got one hundred maybe two

147
00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:26,760
Speaker 3: hundred calories spare if you want to have dessert or

148
00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:28,360
Speaker 3: if you want to have a glass of wine. So

149
00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:31,320
Speaker 3: this will sort of fit there quite nicely in portion control.

150
00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:34,200
Speaker 3: So there's pros and colons like anything, but you're right,

151
00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:36,520
Speaker 3: you know, for those people who have a history of

152
00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:39,359
Speaker 3: issues with cholesterol and liver, you do have to be

153
00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:42,159
Speaker 3: a little bit mindful. It sits in that category similar

154
00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:44,280
Speaker 3: to meat and dairy, and you want to eliminate as

155
00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:46,080
Speaker 3: much other process food as you can.

156
00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:47,720
Speaker 1: And I think that's a good point because I think

157
00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:49,359
Speaker 1: a lot of people would add in something like a

158
00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:51,440
Speaker 1: like this is eighty five percent coco. This is a

159
00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:53,440
Speaker 1: good quality type of dark chocolate. You know a lot

160
00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:55,640
Speaker 1: of brands out there will say it's dark chocolate. When

161
00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:58,039
Speaker 1: you look at the label it's like forty percent. You

162
00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:00,680
Speaker 1: know it's sixty percent. So really I think from the

163
00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:03,440
Speaker 1: research it shows, as Susie, it's over seventy is ever

164
00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:06,839
Speaker 1: seventy or eighty percent to really get the antioxidant benefits,

165
00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:07,520
Speaker 1: I think.

166
00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:08,080
Speaker 2: They're pretty similar.

167
00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:11,080
Speaker 3: I think basically the higher the better, the higher amount,

168
00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:14,200
Speaker 3: the better the quality. So as part of a Mediterranean diet,

169
00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:17,040
Speaker 3: a really well balanced diet that doesn't contain much other

170
00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:20,640
Speaker 3: process food at all. It's a great addition, but as

171
00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:23,120
Speaker 3: we're going to talk in a future episode, people add

172
00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:24,640
Speaker 3: this in and then their diet will still has the

173
00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:26,640
Speaker 3: other rubbish in it, and that's where it's not healthy.

174
00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:30,720
Speaker 3: So it's always about the context. So but it is

175
00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:33,760
Speaker 3: certainly I know that people love this flavor, lad and

176
00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:35,480
Speaker 3: that's important. You know, it's no good if we come

177
00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:37,040
Speaker 3: in here and say this is a great product if

178
00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:40,000
Speaker 3: it tastes like rubbish. So the fact we know this

179
00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:44,120
Speaker 3: is incredibly popular and then nutritionally really good quality at

180
00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:48,000
Speaker 3: eighty five percent level is fantastic. So yeah, absolutely, I

181
00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:51,720
Speaker 3: haven't been specifically recommending products like this, but I probably

182
00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:53,840
Speaker 3: will think about this a little bit more now I

183
00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:56,000
Speaker 3: know people like it, and it really does have that

184
00:07:56,120 --> 00:07:59,040
Speaker 3: very high percentage of cocoa, which is where the nutrition

185
00:07:59,120 --> 00:07:59,640
Speaker 3: comes from.

186
00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:03,920
Speaker 2: Going back to that Alcalis reduce that cocoa powder.

187
00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:07,520
Speaker 3: I suspect that's just to keep its shelf life stable, okay,

188
00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:10,040
Speaker 3: because it's important. They'll have quite a long life on it,

189
00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:11,960
Speaker 3: and because it is fat, it can be unstable and

190
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:14,640
Speaker 3: you get that bloom on it. So I would suspect

191
00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:16,800
Speaker 3: that's just a processing aid to keep it better in

192
00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:18,560
Speaker 3: good quality when you buy it at the shop.

193
00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:20,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, which I think is fine. Like I think people

194
00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:22,240
Speaker 1: you know, looking for really clean ingredient at least, we

195
00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:24,760
Speaker 1: don't want any extra things in there that it needs

196
00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:26,760
Speaker 1: to be there. But I think something like that to

197
00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:28,920
Speaker 1: keep it shelf stable, as you mentioned, is absolutely fine.

198
00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:31,080
Speaker 1: We wouldn't really be too concerned with that. But as

199
00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:33,120
Speaker 1: you said, I really agree the context is important. So

200
00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:35,960
Speaker 1: this is a better quality dark chocolate, but let's not sugarcoated.

201
00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:37,720
Speaker 1: It's still a chocolate at the end of the day.

202
00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:39,640
Speaker 1: And I think people when they look at something like that,

203
00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:41,960
Speaker 1: they're like, oh, this doesn't counter or it doesn't matter

204
00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:43,000
Speaker 1: because it's such a good quality.

205
00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:45,080
Speaker 2: I'll just add it in. But as you sid if you're.

206
00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:47,280
Speaker 1: Having two glasses of wine every night and you're having

207
00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:49,600
Speaker 1: a pastry in the afternoon, and you're having meat three

208
00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:52,840
Speaker 1: four five times a week, you're probably not doing yourself

209
00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:55,319
Speaker 1: a favor from a health perspective by adding something like this.

210
00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:57,080
Speaker 1: You really need to look at the quality of your

211
00:08:57,120 --> 00:08:57,800
Speaker 1: diet overall.

212
00:08:57,960 --> 00:08:58,720
Speaker 2: But I quite like this.

213
00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:01,640
Speaker 1: I really actually enjoy this brand from Aldi Suss. It's beautiful.

214
00:09:01,640 --> 00:09:03,200
Speaker 1: It has a beautiful mouth feel when you eat it

215
00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:05,040
Speaker 1: as well. I think that's from the high percentage of

216
00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:07,800
Speaker 1: cocoa butter. It's very popular, so and God, we included

217
00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:10,079
Speaker 1: this one today because it is very affordable, it's great

218
00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:12,160
Speaker 1: from a portion control perspective, and as you said, it

219
00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:14,800
Speaker 1: tastes delicious. So the other big one we're going to

220
00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:18,439
Speaker 1: review is a manufactured in France. This is our Lint brand,

221
00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:20,320
Speaker 1: and again Lint, I think probably has to be one

222
00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:23,160
Speaker 1: of the most popular chocolate brands of all time. I myself,

223
00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:25,440
Speaker 1: I'm a massive Lint fan. And even though they're not

224
00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:28,640
Speaker 1: individually portioned, when you break them off the squares, I

225
00:09:28,679 --> 00:09:31,400
Speaker 1: feel like they're individually portioned. So the squares are about

226
00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:34,000
Speaker 1: serving size is twenty grands in this one, so slightly

227
00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:36,880
Speaker 1: lower than the Aldi one at twenty five grams. And

228
00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:39,760
Speaker 1: the Lint we've chosen this seventy percent cocoa one in here.

229
00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:42,400
Speaker 1: As I said, Mahabi, it's the ninety five percent one,

230
00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:45,240
Speaker 1: so as I say, he's pretty hardcore. Seventy to eighty

231
00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:47,319
Speaker 1: percent is probably the most that I like. I think

232
00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:49,480
Speaker 1: it gets too bitter after that, but it is a

233
00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:52,280
Speaker 1: little bit more expensive. So this block retails for five

234
00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:54,880
Speaker 1: dollars for one hundred grams, compared to the Aldi one

235
00:09:55,040 --> 00:09:57,440
Speaker 1: is two ninety nine for one hundred and twenty five grams.

236
00:09:57,520 --> 00:09:59,360
Speaker 1: So I know it does come on sale. A lot

237
00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:01,480
Speaker 1: of Colson will, but this is one that is a

238
00:10:01,520 --> 00:10:04,880
Speaker 1: little bit more costly than some of the other brands.

239
00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:07,160
Speaker 1: So serving size is twenty grams. But again we'll go

240
00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:09,480
Speaker 1: through the one hundred gram column. So, Suzi, do you want

241
00:10:09,520 --> 00:10:12,199
Speaker 1: to run us through the per hundred gram amount on

242
00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:12,600
Speaker 1: this one?

243
00:10:12,760 --> 00:10:13,040
Speaker 2: Sure?

244
00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:16,199
Speaker 3: So per hundred grams it is two thy three hundred

245
00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:18,920
Speaker 3: and fifty kilo juels, which is what is that about?

246
00:10:18,920 --> 00:10:22,960
Speaker 3: Six almost six hundred calories nine point five grams are protein,

247
00:10:23,559 --> 00:10:26,839
Speaker 3: forty one percent total fat, so certainly a high fat food.

248
00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:31,160
Speaker 3: Twenty four gram saturated so that's about what is that

249
00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:34,800
Speaker 3: eight grams less so not insignificant, Sorry, yes, eight grams

250
00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:37,880
Speaker 3: less than the Audi product carbo hydrate thirty four grams,

251
00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:40,839
Speaker 3: twenty nine grams of which is sugar. So basically what's

252
00:10:40,880 --> 00:10:45,240
Speaker 3: happening in this formulation. It's got less saturated fat but

253
00:10:45,280 --> 00:10:46,880
Speaker 3: more sugar. And that's the way food works. You know,

254
00:10:46,920 --> 00:10:48,560
Speaker 3: if you've got something that's got less fat it's often

255
00:10:48,559 --> 00:10:50,600
Speaker 3: got more carbohydrate. They've got to make the food out

256
00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:54,520
Speaker 3: of something. So the ingredient les Land is really clean,

257
00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:58,640
Speaker 3: like cocoa, mass sugar, cocoa, butter, vanilla. So the Audi

258
00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:00,680
Speaker 3: one is pretty clean too, but this is even more

259
00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:03,920
Speaker 3: is even more clean. And all they've done, is we've said,

260
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:06,319
Speaker 3: is they've got a little because the cocoa percentage is

261
00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:09,640
Speaker 3: less seventy percent versus eighty five percent. They've pulled some

262
00:11:09,720 --> 00:11:12,920
Speaker 3: fat out and they've added extra sugar to give it

263
00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:15,120
Speaker 3: at you know, the flavor that we love, which is sweeter.

264
00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:16,800
Speaker 2: So this translates.

265
00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:19,280
Speaker 3: I think you'll be more familiar than this than I am,

266
00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:22,319
Speaker 3: because I'm not a link chocolate person. But a square

267
00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:24,840
Speaker 3: I believe of lint. So a little square of cabridge

268
00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:27,880
Speaker 3: is about five whereas a square of lintz ten gram,

269
00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:31,480
Speaker 3: So twenty grams is two of the largest squares. Now

270
00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:34,240
Speaker 3: lean The problem I have with lint is that in

271
00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:36,560
Speaker 3: terms of the Audi one, you take the row and

272
00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:39,760
Speaker 3: that's the serve, whereas this like only two thirds of

273
00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:41,960
Speaker 3: the rows to serve. Now let's be honest, who's leaving

274
00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:45,000
Speaker 3: an extra square? So most people are consuming thirty grams

275
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:48,320
Speaker 3: that's at least that's my experience. It's also relatively expensive,

276
00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:50,360
Speaker 3: like five dollars for that block is it is one

277
00:11:50,440 --> 00:11:53,360
Speaker 3: hundred grams, Like you are, you know, paying a premium

278
00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:55,560
Speaker 3: price for this. Now, I know that chocolate's often half

279
00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:58,839
Speaker 3: price in Woolies and Goals, but it's not an insignificant

280
00:11:58,840 --> 00:12:01,440
Speaker 3: amount to be spending either. They're on a treat type food,

281
00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:06,120
Speaker 3: I think overall in terms of the grocery budget. So

282
00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:09,000
Speaker 3: in terms of that twenty grams for two squares, it's

283
00:12:09,040 --> 00:12:11,040
Speaker 3: just over one hundred calories, which is quite a nice

284
00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:13,880
Speaker 3: portion if you can control yourself. Eight point two grams

285
00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:16,160
Speaker 3: are fat total and four point it saturated, so a

286
00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:19,000
Speaker 3: little bit less, but it's not so much less you

287
00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:21,319
Speaker 3: would say it's a much better product. It's still relatively

288
00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:24,160
Speaker 3: high and saturated fat. It's still giving you a third,

289
00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:27,280
Speaker 3: you know, a quarter of your recommended upper daily intake

290
00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:31,040
Speaker 3: in that couple of squares. The sugars again, it's almost double,

291
00:12:31,120 --> 00:12:34,040
Speaker 3: so five point eight gram so about just over a

292
00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:37,360
Speaker 3: teaspoon of sugar in those two tiny squares. So you know,

293
00:12:37,400 --> 00:12:39,680
Speaker 3: I kind of sit middle ground with it, leanne like,

294
00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:44,319
Speaker 3: I think it's quite a good product. I think if

295
00:12:44,360 --> 00:12:46,320
Speaker 3: I was choosing between the Audi and the Lin, I'd

296
00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:49,600
Speaker 3: probably say the Audi it because really, even though the

297
00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:54,120
Speaker 3: saturated fat in the AUDI is higher, it's it's a

298
00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:56,240
Speaker 3: good portion control. You're less like it over eat it

299
00:12:56,240 --> 00:12:58,920
Speaker 3: because if we said right, people are probably not going

300
00:12:58,960 --> 00:13:01,319
Speaker 3: to have two squares of They're probably gonna have three. Well,

301
00:13:01,320 --> 00:13:04,000
Speaker 3: then the saturated fat's almost the same as the AUDI one,

302
00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:08,200
Speaker 3: So I think it's mindful to be it's still a treat.

303
00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:11,520
Speaker 3: Two squares is a serve, and if you're going to

304
00:13:11,559 --> 00:13:13,319
Speaker 3: be buying this product, you really want to be able

305
00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:15,240
Speaker 3: to control yourself and make sure you can only have

306
00:13:15,280 --> 00:13:18,160
Speaker 3: two squares because in my experience, the squarestrope break off

307
00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:21,400
Speaker 3: that easily either so when you flip you break it,

308
00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:23,160
Speaker 3: you get a little bit of the next one anyway,

309
00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:24,600
Speaker 3: and of course then you eat it. So it's not

310
00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:27,360
Speaker 3: overly helpful when it comes to portion control. And I

311
00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:30,720
Speaker 3: would be encouraging Link to do more portion control packs myself,

312
00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:33,280
Speaker 3: because you know, it really does sit in a snack

313
00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:35,000
Speaker 3: category for a lot of people after dinner.

314
00:13:35,559 --> 00:13:37,440
Speaker 1: I mean, I love the limp balls because again, like

315
00:13:37,480 --> 00:13:40,360
Speaker 1: they're really easily portion controls, but they're expensive. I mean,

316
00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:42,319
Speaker 1: I really love them because I tend to. I think

317
00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:45,040
Speaker 1: people know that Link's one of my favorite brands. It's creamy,

318
00:13:45,080 --> 00:13:47,000
Speaker 1: the mouth feels beautiful, and I think I get a

319
00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:48,880
Speaker 1: lot of it if it's my birthaer, it's Christmas or

320
00:13:48,920 --> 00:13:50,760
Speaker 1: something like that. Like I said to Mum, I don't want,

321
00:13:50,760 --> 00:13:52,400
Speaker 1: you know, the normal chocolate. Give me some limp balls.

322
00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:55,720
Speaker 1: They're beautiful than my favorite, but they're honestly, they're really expensive,

323
00:13:55,720 --> 00:13:57,880
Speaker 1: and again, unless they're sort of half prize that calls

324
00:13:57,880 --> 00:14:00,679
Speaker 1: on wolves, I don't really touch them because they're not

325
00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:03,320
Speaker 1: really budget friendly at all, though they are delicious, So

326
00:14:03,559 --> 00:14:06,320
Speaker 1: I prefer the little balls versus sometimes they're squares because

327
00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:08,560
Speaker 1: they are a little bit better portion control wise. But

328
00:14:08,880 --> 00:14:10,840
Speaker 1: I agree, I think both of the products are excellent.

329
00:14:11,080 --> 00:14:13,400
Speaker 1: They're both very good quality dark chocolates. But I just

330
00:14:13,400 --> 00:14:15,120
Speaker 1: don't want people to lose sight of the fact that

331
00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:17,360
Speaker 1: it is still a chocolate. It's not something we can

332
00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:19,640
Speaker 1: just add will nearly into our diet and go all right,

333
00:14:19,640 --> 00:14:21,360
Speaker 1: We'll have a couple of squares every single night, and

334
00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:23,600
Speaker 1: that's fine and it doesn't count. But I don't think

335
00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:26,000
Speaker 1: there's too much of a different serving size wise to

336
00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:29,400
Speaker 1: say if you were, say diabetic versus having high cholesterol,

337
00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:31,880
Speaker 1: you would go one towards the other shore ones they're

338
00:14:31,880 --> 00:14:34,240
Speaker 1: audi ones higher and saturated fat, and they're lint ones

339
00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:36,360
Speaker 1: higher and sugar. But I don't really think it makes

340
00:14:36,400 --> 00:14:38,920
Speaker 1: as long as you can stick to the recommended portion sizes.

341
00:14:38,960 --> 00:14:41,360
Speaker 1: I don't really think it makes that much difference clinically

342
00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:44,040
Speaker 1: or have that much of a clinical difference or effect

343
00:14:44,200 --> 00:14:46,600
Speaker 1: to really be recommending one or the other. And I'm

344
00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:48,760
Speaker 1: like USUZI I would probably lean towards the ALDI one

345
00:14:48,920 --> 00:14:51,160
Speaker 1: just from a budgeting perspective, because I think it is

346
00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:52,320
Speaker 1: a lot more cost affordable.

347
00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:54,840
Speaker 3: I would agree, and it is reflective of the better

348
00:14:54,920 --> 00:14:58,160
Speaker 3: quality ingredients and sort of global issues in terms of supply,

349
00:14:58,400 --> 00:15:02,440
Speaker 3: so things like cocoa mass cocoa butter are very very expensive,

350
00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:05,080
Speaker 3: and the same in the case of Caboy's chocolate, which

351
00:15:05,120 --> 00:15:08,040
Speaker 3: is of course the milk based chocolate. Milk is really expensive,

352
00:15:08,160 --> 00:15:12,040
Speaker 3: so that explains why the cost of these products are increasing.

353
00:15:12,080 --> 00:15:15,160
Speaker 3: But I never would pay full price for chocolate, like

354
00:15:15,200 --> 00:15:17,680
Speaker 3: I will only ever purchase it when it's half priced,

355
00:15:17,680 --> 00:15:20,160
Speaker 3: So it's you know, as part of a budget issue.

356
00:15:20,240 --> 00:15:22,440
Speaker 3: It's some fair enough and the thing with limp balls

357
00:15:22,520 --> 00:15:24,880
Speaker 3: is that that one limp ball is not in significant

358
00:15:24,880 --> 00:15:27,880
Speaker 3: in calories either. So it's a rich food and a

359
00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:30,040
Speaker 3: reminder of how little of these high fat foods we

360
00:15:30,160 --> 00:15:33,760
Speaker 3: need to get the actual high fat amounts.

361
00:15:33,800 --> 00:15:34,600
Speaker 2: You know, they're not products.

362
00:15:34,600 --> 00:15:36,480
Speaker 3: You can have six limp balls, but I know what

363
00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:38,200
Speaker 3: to bring up to Brisbane next time. I know you're

364
00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:40,800
Speaker 3: a sneaky limp ball lover. Definitely that in a bottle

365
00:15:40,840 --> 00:15:42,680
Speaker 3: of French rose. I'll be your best friend.

366
00:15:43,800 --> 00:15:45,680
Speaker 1: But also a good point with limpballs, they're not the

367
00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:48,200
Speaker 1: high We're not getting the benefits of the antioxidant content

368
00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:50,320
Speaker 1: because the limp balls aren't eighty percent cocoa mass either,

369
00:15:50,560 --> 00:15:52,280
Speaker 1: So I think that's probably a good point there. More

370
00:15:52,640 --> 00:15:54,760
Speaker 1: like a milk chocolate based if anything, and it's something

371
00:15:54,800 --> 00:15:57,240
Speaker 1: that you're going to eat because it's delicious, but it's

372
00:15:57,320 --> 00:15:59,480
Speaker 1: very hard to sort of stop eating because although they

373
00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:01,360
Speaker 1: are portions size, you don't get that nice sort of

374
00:16:01,520 --> 00:16:04,120
Speaker 1: bitterness effect that a good quality dark chocolate gives you,

375
00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:06,280
Speaker 1: which really helps you to sort of stop over eating

376
00:16:06,360 --> 00:16:09,160
Speaker 1: or I feel anyway. So I think that's an important point.

377
00:16:09,200 --> 00:16:11,360
Speaker 1: It's really that you need to be you know, upwards

378
00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:13,920
Speaker 1: of seventy eighty percent coco to really get those high

379
00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:17,400
Speaker 1: quality antioxidant benefits. So the last one we've chosen SUSI

380
00:16:17,480 --> 00:16:20,160
Speaker 1: today is our good old friend Cabri, but we've chosen

381
00:16:20,240 --> 00:16:22,040
Speaker 1: the old Gold variety, and I think a lot of

382
00:16:22,040 --> 00:16:23,760
Speaker 1: people just look at that and think Cabria. It's not

383
00:16:23,800 --> 00:16:26,280
Speaker 1: actually that good quality. But I think some people would

384
00:16:26,280 --> 00:16:28,360
Speaker 1: be surprised to know that this actually has eighty one

385
00:16:28,400 --> 00:16:30,840
Speaker 1: percent dark chocolate in it. So we've gone towards the

386
00:16:30,880 --> 00:16:34,080
Speaker 1: old Gold Roast alm and variety. So this is five

387
00:16:34,160 --> 00:16:36,080
Speaker 1: dollars for a block, and I think the block is

388
00:16:36,080 --> 00:16:38,360
Speaker 1: one hundred and eighty grams, so compared to the lint

389
00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:41,720
Speaker 1: that was five dollars for a block, at one hundred grams,

390
00:16:41,760 --> 00:16:44,760
Speaker 1: you're getting nearly double the product for the same price.

391
00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:48,480
Speaker 1: So affordability wise, again, it's quite a lot more budget friendly.

392
00:16:48,680 --> 00:16:51,120
Speaker 1: So a serving size is twenty five grams in the

393
00:16:51,160 --> 00:16:54,200
Speaker 1: Old Gold Roast Almond or four squares. So these squares

394
00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:57,160
Speaker 1: are a lot smaller than the lint than the Limp variety.

395
00:16:57,200 --> 00:16:59,720
Speaker 1: Like I think they probably a third of the size,

396
00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:02,720
Speaker 1: half the size. They're quite smaller squares in the Old Gold.

397
00:17:02,920 --> 00:17:04,639
Speaker 2: Oh they're tiny. They're the typical cabri one.

398
00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:07,000
Speaker 3: But what I'm just checking the in is even though

399
00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:10,600
Speaker 3: the traditional old gold is listed to seventy percent cocoa mass,

400
00:17:11,119 --> 00:17:13,880
Speaker 3: it doesn't list on this product, which makes me think

401
00:17:13,920 --> 00:17:16,920
Speaker 3: it's not the See, this is only forty five percent cocoa,

402
00:17:17,480 --> 00:17:19,959
Speaker 3: so it's got a much lower percentage, which is why

403
00:17:20,040 --> 00:17:22,679
Speaker 3: it's not claimed. So it's one that allows it to

404
00:17:22,680 --> 00:17:25,879
Speaker 3: be cheaper, but you're not getting the antioxidant benefits that

405
00:17:25,920 --> 00:17:28,280
Speaker 3: you would have something that's the seventy or even eighty

406
00:17:28,359 --> 00:17:31,320
Speaker 3: five percent. So that's important to know because you can

407
00:17:31,400 --> 00:17:34,680
Speaker 3: get a high percentage cocoa goal, but it's not part

408
00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:36,760
Speaker 3: of this restim and this is only forty five percent.

409
00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:39,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, I see that now. So it says dark chocolate

410
00:17:39,040 --> 00:17:41,480
Speaker 1: eighty one percent, but that's sort of it's very misleading,

411
00:17:41,520 --> 00:17:44,040
Speaker 1: isn't it From a marketing perspective. The cocoa mass in

412
00:17:44,080 --> 00:17:46,359
Speaker 1: there is actually only forty five percent, So we wouldn't

413
00:17:46,400 --> 00:17:48,040
Speaker 1: call this very high, would we know?

414
00:17:48,119 --> 00:17:50,840
Speaker 2: Matter, that's why this sugar is first Yeah. Interesting.

415
00:17:51,280 --> 00:17:52,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, So there's a little tweak there, and that's the

416
00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:56,919
Speaker 3: difference in chocolates. That's why it's a bit cheaper. Obviously

417
00:17:57,000 --> 00:17:58,520
Speaker 3: you're getting some benefits of some numb and.

418
00:17:58,520 --> 00:17:59,960
Speaker 1: It doesn't taste anywhere near as bitter.

419
00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:03,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, And their first ingredients sugar, So that's just sort

420
00:18:03,160 --> 00:18:06,520
Speaker 3: of an indication of the different formulations.

421
00:18:05,800 --> 00:18:06,359
Speaker 1: And the quality.

422
00:18:06,440 --> 00:18:07,080
Speaker 2: Yeah. Interesting.

423
00:18:07,119 --> 00:18:08,760
Speaker 1: So if we look at the ingredient list, we've got

424
00:18:08,800 --> 00:18:12,240
Speaker 1: sugar first, and then cocoa mass, then almonds and cocoa

425
00:18:12,240 --> 00:18:16,280
Speaker 1: butter fourth, with milk solids and mulsifiers and it just

426
00:18:16,280 --> 00:18:18,359
Speaker 1: says flavor last. I'm not quite sure what the flavor

427
00:18:18,480 --> 00:18:20,760
Speaker 1: is there. So I think that's probably the biggest difference

428
00:18:20,760 --> 00:18:23,160
Speaker 1: between the three ones we've reviewed today. This one has

429
00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:25,800
Speaker 1: sugar first and cocoa butter four. So I think the

430
00:18:25,920 --> 00:18:29,120
Speaker 1: quality of this overall, if we're just comparing dark chocolates,

431
00:18:29,200 --> 00:18:30,720
Speaker 1: is just not as good quality.

432
00:18:30,880 --> 00:18:31,320
Speaker 2: As you said.

433
00:18:31,359 --> 00:18:34,200
Speaker 1: We're not getting those antioxidant benefits. So when we look

434
00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:37,359
Speaker 1: at the nutrition label per hundred grams, we've got just

435
00:18:37,440 --> 00:18:41,560
Speaker 1: over two thousand kilodels, we've got nine grams of nine

436
00:18:41,560 --> 00:18:44,760
Speaker 1: grams of protein and thirty four grams total fat and

437
00:18:44,800 --> 00:18:47,960
Speaker 1: sixteen grams of saturated fat, so lower saturated fat percentage,

438
00:18:47,960 --> 00:18:50,040
Speaker 1: which would make sense because cocoa butter is a little

439
00:18:50,040 --> 00:18:52,400
Speaker 1: bit further down the list of ingredients, then we've got

440
00:18:52,440 --> 00:18:55,600
Speaker 1: forty seven grams of carbohydrates and forty three grams of sugar,

441
00:18:55,760 --> 00:18:57,959
Speaker 1: So the sugar content in this one is a lot higher,

442
00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:00,680
Speaker 1: and that makes sense because sugar's our top ingredient. And

443
00:19:00,720 --> 00:19:03,040
Speaker 1: then we've got sotium listed of seven milligrams, which is

444
00:19:03,119 --> 00:19:06,000
Speaker 1: basically nothing. So when we look at the serving size

445
00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:08,680
Speaker 1: for twenty five grams, so four little squares gives us

446
00:19:08,760 --> 00:19:11,400
Speaker 1: five hundred and sixty eight kilodials, two grams of protein,

447
00:19:11,480 --> 00:19:14,080
Speaker 1: eight point six grams of total fat, four grams of

448
00:19:14,080 --> 00:19:17,879
Speaker 1: saturated fat, so lower saturated fat, but higher sugar at

449
00:19:17,920 --> 00:19:19,359
Speaker 1: ten point seven grams of sugar.

450
00:19:19,680 --> 00:19:20,960
Speaker 2: So I think this one.

451
00:19:20,880 --> 00:19:24,000
Speaker 1: SUSI would definitely come out of the three, definitely little last,

452
00:19:24,119 --> 00:19:26,560
Speaker 1: just because it's not that good quality as the other

453
00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:27,240
Speaker 1: two brands.

454
00:19:27,400 --> 00:19:29,960
Speaker 3: I think that the sugar is basically double so compared

455
00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:32,240
Speaker 3: to the other chocolates that you're getting in that little

456
00:19:32,240 --> 00:19:34,679
Speaker 3: sort of portion control just over a teaspoons here, you're

457
00:19:34,720 --> 00:19:38,080
Speaker 3: definitely getting two solid teaspoons of sugar, you know. And

458
00:19:38,119 --> 00:19:40,800
Speaker 3: I think for people who love roast almond and it's delicious,

459
00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:44,639
Speaker 3: and they really find that satisfying. You know, if you're

460
00:19:44,680 --> 00:19:48,560
Speaker 3: comparing say the four little pieces of it, about one

461
00:19:48,600 --> 00:19:51,240
Speaker 3: of those pieces you're supposed to get worth of an almond.

462
00:19:51,240 --> 00:19:52,440
Speaker 2: So it's not a huge amount either.

463
00:19:52,480 --> 00:19:54,280
Speaker 3: I think sometimes when we think there's nuts in chocolate,

464
00:19:54,280 --> 00:19:56,159
Speaker 3: we think, great, we'll get a served nuts. You'd be

465
00:19:56,200 --> 00:19:58,200
Speaker 3: lucky to get one or two almonds as part of that,

466
00:19:58,400 --> 00:20:03,280
Speaker 3: you know, overall chocolate. I think for me, lan if

467
00:20:03,320 --> 00:20:07,280
Speaker 3: you're someone who doesn't like, for example myself, I would

468
00:20:07,320 --> 00:20:10,080
Speaker 3: never buy dark chocolate as my soul food after dinner.

469
00:20:10,160 --> 00:20:11,000
Speaker 2: I just wouldn't.

470
00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:14,840
Speaker 3: But I would buy an old gold rum and raisin,

471
00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:16,920
Speaker 3: which I am a bit partial to. I will admit

472
00:20:17,560 --> 00:20:19,560
Speaker 3: and have that with a cup of tea and be

473
00:20:19,680 --> 00:20:22,320
Speaker 3: quite satisfied. So I think if it means that you're

474
00:20:22,760 --> 00:20:25,760
Speaker 3: going to have some dark chocolate rather than forty five

475
00:20:25,880 --> 00:20:29,520
Speaker 3: rows of milk, it's a good choice. But it's not

476
00:20:29,760 --> 00:20:31,960
Speaker 3: the best, you know, So I think that it's still

477
00:20:31,960 --> 00:20:36,960
Speaker 3: got some benefit. But absolutely the other two far outweigh nutritionally.

478
00:20:37,600 --> 00:20:39,760
Speaker 3: If you like them and sort of still get that

479
00:20:39,800 --> 00:20:41,600
Speaker 3: same level of enjoyment out of them.

480
00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:44,200
Speaker 1: I agree, And I think from a marketing perspective, people

481
00:20:44,200 --> 00:20:46,520
Speaker 1: are probably going to go towards this because they see

482
00:20:46,560 --> 00:20:48,159
Speaker 1: it labeled as dark choking. You think, well, I'm going

483
00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:50,639
Speaker 1: to get this because it's better than say the Cabria

484
00:20:50,680 --> 00:20:53,320
Speaker 1: milk chocolate. And sure, if we're looking at it, it probably

485
00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:55,800
Speaker 1: is better nutritionally because you're getting you know, you're getting

486
00:20:55,840 --> 00:20:58,080
Speaker 1: forty five percent cocoa solids, and you're getting some benefits

487
00:20:58,080 --> 00:21:00,880
Speaker 1: of the roast almond, although you know, roast overalls only

488
00:21:00,960 --> 00:21:03,320
Speaker 1: nineteen percent, so in terms of added nuts, you're not

489
00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:05,439
Speaker 1: getting too much. So I think it more has a

490
00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:08,080
Speaker 1: health halo effect to it. So I agree with you

491
00:21:08,160 --> 00:21:10,359
Speaker 1: choose the one that you like or enjoy the most

492
00:21:10,480 --> 00:21:13,359
Speaker 1: and the one you're less likely to really overret on,

493
00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:15,320
Speaker 1: because I really think portion control. This is still a

494
00:21:15,359 --> 00:21:17,200
Speaker 1: treat at the end of the day. We can't sugarcoat

495
00:21:17,240 --> 00:21:20,240
Speaker 1: that it's still a treat. It's still it's still chocolate

496
00:21:20,240 --> 00:21:21,840
Speaker 1: at the end of the day. So it's really what

497
00:21:21,880 --> 00:21:23,760
Speaker 1: you prefer and what you like the most, and you're

498
00:21:23,760 --> 00:21:26,240
Speaker 1: able to kind of portion size the most because this

499
00:21:26,320 --> 00:21:29,440
Speaker 1: isn't something that's good for our health necessarily, and we're

500
00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:31,800
Speaker 1: not really getting any added health benefits from this one.

501
00:21:31,800 --> 00:21:34,879
Speaker 1: In particular. The other two shore, we're getting some added antioxidants,

502
00:21:34,880 --> 00:21:37,760
Speaker 1: but they're still quite high in saturated fat and sugar overall.

503
00:21:37,880 --> 00:21:39,840
Speaker 1: So I think I think this one as well. It's

504
00:21:39,880 --> 00:21:42,320
Speaker 1: not overly cheap either. It's five dollars for a block

505
00:21:42,359 --> 00:21:44,640
Speaker 1: of it as well, so I'm probably I think the

506
00:21:44,680 --> 00:21:47,040
Speaker 1: Aldi one for me, Susie really tops us out today.

507
00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:48,880
Speaker 1: I think that's probably my favorite one of the three,

508
00:21:48,960 --> 00:21:51,680
Speaker 1: if you're someone that can actually enjoy eighty five percent

509
00:21:51,760 --> 00:21:53,240
Speaker 1: cocoa and a lot A lot of people find it

510
00:21:53,280 --> 00:21:54,000
Speaker 1: too bitter.

511
00:21:53,880 --> 00:21:55,879
Speaker 3: True, and I love the portion control. I think the

512
00:21:55,920 --> 00:21:58,480
Speaker 3: more portion control switch we have, the better. But you know,

513
00:21:58,560 --> 00:22:00,760
Speaker 3: companies don't want to portion control because they want you

514
00:22:00,760 --> 00:22:03,440
Speaker 3: to eat the block exactly at the end of the day,

515
00:22:03,520 --> 00:22:05,800
Speaker 3: so there's no real incentive for them. So you know,

516
00:22:05,880 --> 00:22:07,800
Speaker 3: I think that it's really worth of a discussion, and

517
00:22:07,840 --> 00:22:11,000
Speaker 3: I think it's also a great opportunity lean to get

518
00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:13,800
Speaker 3: people aware of the individual portions of saturated fat, which

519
00:22:13,800 --> 00:22:16,280
Speaker 3: we don't always speak of. So you know, roughly you've

520
00:22:16,280 --> 00:22:18,960
Speaker 3: probably got fifteen, maybe twenty grams of saturated fat to

521
00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:20,880
Speaker 3: play with, and if you want to use a third

522
00:22:20,920 --> 00:22:22,600
Speaker 3: of that for your chocolate, just keep in mind the

523
00:22:22,640 --> 00:22:25,560
Speaker 3: other food choices do need to be lower saturated fat

524
00:22:25,800 --> 00:22:27,959
Speaker 3: and also our sugars. LeAnn, you know, it's recommended by

525
00:22:27,960 --> 00:22:31,320
Speaker 3: the World Health Organization that Australian adults consume less than

526
00:22:31,320 --> 00:22:35,760
Speaker 3: twenty five grams six tea spoons of added sugar into

527
00:22:35,760 --> 00:22:38,480
Speaker 3: their diet each day. And in the case of the

528
00:22:38,680 --> 00:22:41,600
Speaker 3: old Gold, that's more than a third of your recommended

529
00:22:41,600 --> 00:22:44,359
Speaker 3: intake of added sugars that are coming from other foods.

530
00:22:44,359 --> 00:22:46,000
Speaker 3: So if you want to do a little quick calculation,

531
00:22:46,400 --> 00:22:48,640
Speaker 3: it's a good opportunity to see where those slip in

532
00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:51,280
Speaker 3: and how easy it is to over shoot the mark

533
00:22:51,320 --> 00:22:53,600
Speaker 3: and have far more than that. So I've loved this

534
00:22:53,640 --> 00:22:56,000
Speaker 3: discussion because I think it really breaks down those specific

535
00:22:56,040 --> 00:22:59,000
Speaker 3: amounts of nutrients that you and I calculated in our

536
00:22:59,040 --> 00:23:01,320
Speaker 3: mind when we're working on meal plans, but for people

537
00:23:01,320 --> 00:23:02,840
Speaker 3: to be aware of it too and have a bit

538
00:23:02,880 --> 00:23:04,960
Speaker 3: of a better look at those labels. But do take

539
00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:07,280
Speaker 3: your glasses because let's be honestly, and those labels on

540
00:23:07,320 --> 00:23:09,720
Speaker 3: these chocolate packets are tiny.

541
00:23:10,400 --> 00:23:12,679
Speaker 1: Well, I enjoyed our discussion today as well, and I

542
00:23:12,680 --> 00:23:14,879
Speaker 1: really like that we're getting a nice mix of different products.

543
00:23:14,920 --> 00:23:17,200
Speaker 1: You know, shout out to our student Amy, she went

544
00:23:17,200 --> 00:23:18,879
Speaker 1: to Aldi and she found a good product for us

545
00:23:18,920 --> 00:23:22,120
Speaker 1: as well today, so we could listen some comparative reviews

546
00:23:22,119 --> 00:23:23,119
Speaker 1: for you guys as well.

547
00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:25,320
Speaker 3: And the other thing we have just spoken about was

548
00:23:25,359 --> 00:23:27,879
Speaker 3: we sort of debated whether to include sugar free chocolate

549
00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:29,720
Speaker 3: in this discussion because we know there's quite a few

550
00:23:29,720 --> 00:23:31,880
Speaker 3: out there that with that everyone loves. And what we've

551
00:23:31,880 --> 00:23:34,080
Speaker 3: decided is we will do a separate review on the

552
00:23:34,119 --> 00:23:37,720
Speaker 3: sugar free varieties of chocolate in an upcoming episode.

553
00:23:37,359 --> 00:23:39,280
Speaker 1: So stay tuned and don't forget guys. We have our
