WEBVTT - TNC Review: Dark Chocolate 0:00:00.640 --> 0:00:03.000 Are you a chocolate lover and do you try and 0:00:03.080 --> 0:00:06.160 buy dark chocolate as a healthier option? We do you 0:00:06.200 --> 0:00:10.200 find yourself eating the entire block anyway? On today's product review, 0:00:10.440 --> 0:00:12.800 which we are thinking will be one of our most popular, 0:00:13.000 --> 0:00:15.760 we review some of the best dark chocolate varieties in 0:00:15.840 --> 0:00:20.720 supermarkets and discuss is there really a healthier type of chocolate? Hi, 0:00:20.880 --> 0:00:23.120 I'm Leanne Wood and I'm Suzy Burrow, and as two 0:00:23.160 --> 0:00:25.959 of us stas leading dietitians, we bring you the nutrition 0:00:26.079 --> 0:00:29.040 Couch product grooview, a weekly chat on new products and 0:00:29.120 --> 0:00:33.080 old favorites you can find at AUSSI supermarkets. So chocolate, 0:00:33.360 --> 0:00:36.000 let's be honest, Susie, who doesn't love chocolate? But do 0:00:36.040 --> 0:00:38.599 you love a dark chocolate? And are you're a fan? Oh? 0:00:38.640 --> 0:00:40.400 I can eat Unlike most people, Lean I can eat 0:00:40.400 --> 0:00:45.440 any chocolate. I am a chocolate lover, but my natural 0:00:45.479 --> 0:00:47.680 tendency is to go towards milk, and I do go 0:00:47.760 --> 0:00:50.560 through sort of phases of different types. At the moment, 0:00:50.560 --> 0:00:55.240 I'm obsessed with boost bars. I do wish that one 0:00:55.360 --> 0:00:56.960 that you don't have to buy the entire box of 0:00:57.000 --> 0:00:59.200 Favorites to get the mini boosts, which are obviously better 0:00:59.200 --> 0:01:01.760 for portion control. I'm waiting for them to bring out 0:01:01.760 --> 0:01:05.120 a mini boost pack so I can portion control. But 0:01:05.200 --> 0:01:06.800 I go through phases, you know, that might last for 0:01:06.840 --> 0:01:08.600 two or three months, and then I'll be onto something else. 0:01:08.840 --> 0:01:11.440 But yeah, I don't mind dark chocolate, but I don't 0:01:11.520 --> 0:01:14.440 routinely buy it. And it probably lends itself to a 0:01:14.440 --> 0:01:17.040 bit of a chat about the cognitive control of chocolate 0:01:17.360 --> 0:01:21.280 versus as you described as your soul foods. So I 0:01:21.280 --> 0:01:24.240 always say to clients, don't buy the dark chocolate and 0:01:24.280 --> 0:01:26.800 eat the whole block because you think it's better. Really 0:01:26.880 --> 0:01:29.760 think about what you enjoy the most. But you know, 0:01:29.800 --> 0:01:31.600 there is some evidence also to show that there's a 0:01:31.640 --> 0:01:34.560 programming effect. You know, over time you can program yourself 0:01:34.560 --> 0:01:36.360 to look for the more richer flavor. I know that 0:01:36.440 --> 0:01:39.120 you love dark chocolate. You've got one that is it mint? 0:01:39.120 --> 0:01:40.000 That the one that you love? 0:01:40.080 --> 0:01:41.280 Yeah, I love a min one. I love a good 0:01:41.319 --> 0:01:43.440 midone and assalted caramel. I love the link. The link 0:01:43.440 --> 0:01:46.840 squares the dark chocolate salted caramel. Yeah, David's pretty hard cool. 0:01:46.840 --> 0:01:48.720 I think you buzz a lint ninety seven ninety seven 0:01:48.760 --> 0:01:50.639 percent That for me is just a little bit too bitter. 0:01:50.800 --> 0:01:53.320 But he has problems with portion control, so he likes 0:01:53.360 --> 0:01:55.320 it because he really just the one squads enough for him. 0:01:55.480 --> 0:01:57.440 If we bought the milk chocolate, he'd eat the entire block, 0:01:57.560 --> 0:01:59.760 So for him that works really well for portion control. 0:02:00.080 --> 0:02:02.000 I have found as I get older, I can't have 0:02:02.040 --> 0:02:04.040 blocks of chocolate ever, Like everyone will to eat the 0:02:04.040 --> 0:02:06.520 whole block because it's so Moorish. So you're not alone 0:02:06.560 --> 0:02:08.440 if you're a whole block eater. It's about learning how 0:02:08.440 --> 0:02:11.240 to portion controller, which we will cover a little bit today. 0:02:11.320 --> 0:02:12.960 Yeah, and I find dark chocolate for me, it's just 0:02:13.000 --> 0:02:15.960 easier like it. It's more satisfying. Like with milk chocolate. 0:02:16.000 --> 0:02:17.959 I'll eat and eat and eat it and be like, yeah, 0:02:18.000 --> 0:02:20.000 that's okay, but I I don't love it, so I'm 0:02:20.040 --> 0:02:22.120 not fully satisfied. So for me, the dark chocolate is 0:02:22.120 --> 0:02:24.440 actually more satisfying. I think for whatever reason, I just 0:02:24.440 --> 0:02:26.600 don't think it's as I don't know. I just don't 0:02:26.639 --> 0:02:28.359 want to keep going back for more of it. So 0:02:28.600 --> 0:02:31.120 I'm excited about our review today and the first product. 0:02:31.320 --> 0:02:34.000 Due to popular demand, we've got another Audi product in here. 0:02:34.280 --> 0:02:38.239 So it's the Monsa Roth eighty five percent coco block 0:02:38.320 --> 0:02:40.440 of chocolate. So this is two ninety nine at Aldi 0:02:40.600 --> 0:02:42.679 and a serving size is twenty five grams, so they're 0:02:42.680 --> 0:02:46.600 actually portioned to these little like individually bars, So portion 0:02:46.720 --> 0:02:49.440 control wise they're pretty good, even though I would probably say, Susie, 0:02:49.440 --> 0:02:53.360 a portion is probably bigger than some other sort of 0:02:53.360 --> 0:02:55.320 pre portion like the mini little blocks of chocolate or 0:02:55.320 --> 0:02:57.359 little snack pack. So I think twenty five grams is 0:02:57.400 --> 0:02:59.600 a decent serving for a portion size, so that's pretty good. 0:03:00.680 --> 0:03:03.320 I'm thinking we should probably review per hundred grams though today, 0:03:03.400 --> 0:03:06.400 because each one is a different size. 0:03:06.520 --> 0:03:08.920 I do. I love these portion control packs, and it's 0:03:08.919 --> 0:03:11.360 actually reminder to me because I don't routinely shop at 0:03:11.360 --> 0:03:13.959 Audi one, I know how much people love this product, 0:03:14.080 --> 0:03:15.720 but also that it is one of the few that 0:03:15.760 --> 0:03:19.240 does come in portion controls like this is fantastic, and 0:03:19.440 --> 0:03:22.399 I agree, let's we'll review one hundred grams for comparison. 0:03:22.480 --> 0:03:25.160 But I think this kind of twenty gram twenty five 0:03:25.200 --> 0:03:28.080 gram service makes it so much easier when it comes 0:03:28.080 --> 0:03:30.640 to controlling ourselves around tempting food. 0:03:31.000 --> 0:03:32.960 And individually portioned as well. It's not just you know, 0:03:32.960 --> 0:03:34.600 put into little squares. It's sort of like you have 0:03:34.600 --> 0:03:36.600 to unwrap a whole new thing each time, which is good, 0:03:36.640 --> 0:03:38.120 and it's a good amount so you don't feel like 0:03:38.120 --> 0:03:40.480 you're deprived. It's a great amount. Yeah, yeah, so per 0:03:40.560 --> 0:03:43.960 one hundred grams. So we're comparing similar amounts through the 0:03:43.960 --> 0:03:46.800 three different chocolates we're reviewing. So energy wise, we've got 0:03:46.800 --> 0:03:49.120 two thy five hundred killo duels or just shy of 0:03:49.160 --> 0:03:52.560 six hundred calories. We've got eleven grams of protein, fifty 0:03:52.600 --> 0:03:55.440 grams of total fat, thirty of that being saturated fat. 0:03:55.440 --> 0:04:00.000 It's actually quite high saturated fat, nearly twenty grams of carbohydrates, 0:04:00.160 --> 0:04:03.600 nearly fourteen grams of sugar, so I guess quite low 0:04:03.680 --> 0:04:06.600 sugar in comparison to high fat. And then that probably 0:04:06.680 --> 0:04:08.640 makes sense when we look at the ingredient list, which 0:04:08.680 --> 0:04:12.600 we've got cocoa mass, cocoa butter, then sugar, then alkalis, 0:04:12.680 --> 0:04:15.760 reduced fat, cocoa powder which I've actually never heard of before, 0:04:15.800 --> 0:04:20.080 susi a multifier, and vanilla extract. And the allergen listed 0:04:20.200 --> 0:04:22.479 is soy, so it actually contains soy for anyone with 0:04:22.520 --> 0:04:26.320 our soy allergies at home. Made in Germany. Yeah, what 0:04:26.360 --> 0:04:28.480 do we think about this one? It's very high saturated fat. 0:04:28.480 --> 0:04:29.960 That's probably the first thing that stood out to me. 0:04:29.960 --> 0:04:32.599 So if you're somebody with kardiak issues or heart problems 0:04:32.680 --> 0:04:34.600 or in the family, this is probably something that I 0:04:34.640 --> 0:04:37.920 would be very mindful in terms of portion size wise, 0:04:37.960 --> 0:04:42.320 because for our cardiac population, probably not great to have 0:04:42.360 --> 0:04:43.640 something so high and saturated. 0:04:43.640 --> 0:04:46.200 But I think it's a reflection of the quality because 0:04:46.240 --> 0:04:49.039 of course a chocolate that's eighty five percent cocoa and 0:04:49.400 --> 0:04:52.000 well made will have a higher proportion of fat coming 0:04:52.080 --> 0:04:54.920 from the actual cocoa butter, which is why it tastes 0:04:55.000 --> 0:04:58.160 great now, just as a reference point, So per serve 0:04:58.240 --> 0:04:59.880 on that I know we're talking about one hundred gram 0:05:00.120 --> 0:05:03.320 but per serve at seven point seven grams are saturated fat. 0:05:03.360 --> 0:05:06.560 So for context, if we are trying to achieve what 0:05:06.600 --> 0:05:09.080 we call a one to one to one PMS or 0:05:09.120 --> 0:05:12.919 poly tomonoisaturated fat ratios, which is what is ideal to 0:05:13.000 --> 0:05:16.359 promote cellular health and reduce inflammation in the body for 0:05:16.400 --> 0:05:19.280 the average adult, who's say aiming between sixty to eighty 0:05:19.320 --> 0:05:23.080 grams of fat in total per day for weight control, 0:05:23.320 --> 0:05:26.000 and we're breaking that down to roughly fifteen to twenty 0:05:26.279 --> 0:05:31.200 maybe slightly higher grams of each polymonos and saturates for balance. 0:05:31.680 --> 0:05:36.479 So that is giving you about maybe up to a 0:05:36.600 --> 0:05:40.479 half of your entire recommended upper intake of saturated fat 0:05:40.480 --> 0:05:43.359 per day. So for me, if I was counting it, 0:05:43.360 --> 0:05:45.120 I would be like, well, you certainly want to be 0:05:45.160 --> 0:05:48.200 having reduced fat, dairy, low fat dairy. You certainly want 0:05:48.240 --> 0:05:50.200 to keep an eye how much cheese you're having, and 0:05:50.240 --> 0:05:52.680 you certainly want to be choosing extremely lean red meat 0:05:52.680 --> 0:05:55.440 and eating it sparingly. Because where we get saturated fat 0:05:55.440 --> 0:05:58.400 in the diet is from snack food, it is from 0:05:58.440 --> 0:06:01.600 cakes and pastries, it is dairy, and it is from meat. 0:06:01.880 --> 0:06:04.440 So it's just good to be aware that if you 0:06:04.520 --> 0:06:06.200 do have high cholesterol and you do need to be 0:06:06.240 --> 0:06:08.839 a little bit mindful about your saturated fat intake, this 0:06:09.000 --> 0:06:10.920 is giving you a good chunk at least a third 0:06:10.960 --> 0:06:13.800 of your upper daily intake in that portion. But you 0:06:13.839 --> 0:06:15.760 are right, it's relatively low in sugars. They and it's 0:06:15.760 --> 0:06:18.119 three point five grams for that twenty five gram serve 0:06:18.400 --> 0:06:20.880 and the calories at one point fifty. I you know, 0:06:20.960 --> 0:06:22.440 if at the end of the day with clients I 0:06:22.560 --> 0:06:24.719 sway to them, you've probably got one hundred maybe churn 0:06:24.720 --> 0:06:26.760 to calories spare if you want to have dessert or 0:06:26.800 --> 0:06:28.360 if you want to have a glass of wine. So 0:06:28.440 --> 0:06:31.360 this will sort of fit there quite nicely in portion control. 0:06:31.480 --> 0:06:34.240 So there's pros and colons like anything, but you're right, 0:06:34.279 --> 0:06:36.840 you know, for those people who have a history of 0:06:37.279 --> 0:06:39.400 issues with cholesterol and liver, you do have to be 0:06:39.440 --> 0:06:42.120 a little bit mindful. It sits in that category similar 0:06:42.200 --> 0:06:44.320 to meat and dairy, and you want to eliminate as 0:06:44.360 --> 0:06:46.120 much other processed food as you can. 0:06:46.240 --> 0:06:47.760 And I think that's a good point because I think 0:06:47.760 --> 0:06:49.400 a lot of people would add in something like a 0:06:49.760 --> 0:06:51.640 this is eighty five percent coco. This is a good 0:06:51.720 --> 0:06:53.520 quality type of dark chocolate. You know a lot of 0:06:53.520 --> 0:06:55.760 brands out there will say it's dark chocolate. When you 0:06:55.800 --> 0:06:58.200 look at the label it's like forty percent. You know 0:06:58.320 --> 0:07:01.160 it's sixty percent. So I think from the research it 0:07:01.200 --> 0:07:03.919 shows as Susie, it's over seventy is over seventy or 0:07:03.920 --> 0:07:07.200 eighty percent to really get the antioxidant benefits. 0:07:07.200 --> 0:07:09.120 I think they're pretty similar. I think basically the higher 0:07:09.160 --> 0:07:12.480 the better, the higher amount, the better the quality. So 0:07:12.520 --> 0:07:15.120 as part of a Mediterranean diet, a really well balanced 0:07:15.160 --> 0:07:18.440 diet that doesn't contain much other processed food at all. 0:07:18.760 --> 0:07:21.200 It's a great addition, but as we're going to talk 0:07:21.240 --> 0:07:23.720 in a future episode, people add this in and then 0:07:23.720 --> 0:07:25.440 their diet will still has the other rubbish in it, 0:07:25.440 --> 0:07:27.640 and that's where it's not healthy. So it's always about 0:07:27.680 --> 0:07:32.080 the context. So but it is certainly I know that 0:07:32.120 --> 0:07:34.600 people love this flavor lead and that's important. You know, 0:07:34.600 --> 0:07:36.120 it's no good if we come in here and say 0:07:36.120 --> 0:07:38.360 this is a great product if it tastes like rubbish. 0:07:38.720 --> 0:07:41.960 So the fact we know this is incredibly popular and 0:07:42.000 --> 0:07:45.520 then nutritionally really good quality at eighty five percent level 0:07:45.560 --> 0:07:50.360 is fantastic. So yeah, absolutely, I haven't been specifically recommending 0:07:50.360 --> 0:07:52.920 products like this, but I probably will think about this 0:07:52.960 --> 0:07:55.000 a little bit more now I know people like it, 0:07:55.040 --> 0:07:58.040 and it really does have that very high percentage of cocoa, 0:07:58.080 --> 0:08:00.720 which is where the nutrition comes from. Just going back 0:08:00.760 --> 0:08:05.080 to that alcalis reduce that cocoa powder. I suspect that's 0:08:05.160 --> 0:08:08.040 just to keep its shelf life stable. Yeah, okay, because 0:08:08.040 --> 0:08:10.040 it's important. They'll have quite a long life on it, 0:08:10.080 --> 0:08:12.000 and because it is fat, it can be unstable and 0:08:12.040 --> 0:08:14.600 you get that bloom on it. So I would suspect 0:08:14.680 --> 0:08:16.840 that's just a processing aid to keep it better in 0:08:16.880 --> 0:08:18.600 good quality when you buy it at the shop. 0:08:18.680 --> 0:08:20.440 Yeah, which I think is fine. Like I think people 0:08:20.480 --> 0:08:22.240 you know, looking for a really clean ingredient least, we 0:08:22.240 --> 0:08:24.480 don't want any you know, extra things in there that 0:08:24.480 --> 0:08:26.000 it needs to be there. But I think something like 0:08:26.040 --> 0:08:28.360 that to keep it shelf stable, as you mentioned, is 0:08:28.360 --> 0:08:30.600 absolutely fine. We wouldn't really be too concerned with that. 0:08:30.800 --> 0:08:33.079 But as you said, I really agree the context is important. 0:08:33.080 --> 0:08:35.240 So this is a better quality dark chocolate, but let's 0:08:35.240 --> 0:08:37.360 not sugarcoated. It's still a chocolate at the end of 0:08:37.400 --> 0:08:39.160 the day. And I think people when they look at 0:08:39.160 --> 0:08:41.400 something like that, they're like, oh, this doesn't counter or 0:08:41.440 --> 0:08:43.200 it doesn't matter because it's such a good quality, I'll 0:08:43.240 --> 0:08:44.959 just add it in. But as you said, if you're 0:08:44.960 --> 0:08:47.280 having two glasses of wine every night and you're having 0:08:47.280 --> 0:08:49.880 a pastry in the afternoon, and you're having meat three four, 0:08:49.960 --> 0:08:52.960 five times a week, you're probably not doing yourself a 0:08:52.960 --> 0:08:55.320 favor from a health perspective by adding something like this. 0:08:55.600 --> 0:08:57.120 You really need to look at the quality of your 0:08:57.160 --> 0:08:59.520 diet overall. But I quite like this. I really actually 0:08:59.600 --> 0:09:01.719 enjoy this brand from Aldi sus It's it's beautiful. It 0:09:01.720 --> 0:09:03.640 has a beautiful mouth feel when you eat it as well. 0:09:03.760 --> 0:09:05.640 I think that's from the high percentage of cocoa butter. 0:09:05.960 --> 0:09:08.040 It's very popular. So I glad we included this one 0:09:08.080 --> 0:09:10.280 to day because it is very affordable, it's great from 0:09:10.320 --> 0:09:13.040 a portion control perspective, and as you said, it tastes delicious. 0:09:13.080 --> 0:09:15.960 So the other big one we're going to review is 0:09:16.000 --> 0:09:18.560 a manufactured in France. This is our Lint brand, and 0:09:18.600 --> 0:09:20.400 again Lint, I think probably has to be one of 0:09:20.440 --> 0:09:23.160 the most popular chocolate brands of all time. I myself, 0:09:23.200 --> 0:09:25.480 I'm a massive Lint fan, and even though they're not 0:09:25.520 --> 0:09:28.679 individually portioned, when you break them off the squares, I 0:09:28.720 --> 0:09:31.360 feel like they're individually portioned. So the squares are about 0:09:31.640 --> 0:09:34.040 serving size is twenty grands in this one, so slightly 0:09:34.080 --> 0:09:36.880 lower than the Audi one at twenty five grams, and 0:09:36.920 --> 0:09:39.800 the Lint we've chosen this seventy percent cocoa one in here. 0:09:40.320 --> 0:09:42.439 As I said, Mahabi, it's the ninety five percent one, 0:09:42.480 --> 0:09:45.280 so as I say, he's pretty hardcore. Seventy to eighty 0:09:45.280 --> 0:09:47.360 percent is probably the most that I like. I think 0:09:47.360 --> 0:09:49.520 it gets too bitter after that, but it is a 0:09:49.520 --> 0:09:52.319 little bit more expensive. So this block retails for five 0:09:52.360 --> 0:09:54.880 dollars for one hundred grams, compared to the Audi one 0:09:55.080 --> 0:09:57.520 is two ninety nine for one hundred and twenty five grams. 0:09:57.559 --> 0:09:59.360 So I know it does come on sale a lot 0:09:59.360 --> 0:10:01.439 of coals and will, but this is one that is 0:10:01.480 --> 0:10:04.920 a little bit more costly than some of the other brands. 0:10:04.960 --> 0:10:07.200 So serving size is twenty grams. But again we'll go 0:10:07.200 --> 0:10:09.360 through the one hundred gram column. So, Suzi, do you 0:10:09.360 --> 0:10:12.160 want to run us through the per hundred gram amount 0:10:12.160 --> 0:10:12.600 on this one? 0:10:12.800 --> 0:10:16.240 Sure, So per hundred grams it is twenty three hundred 0:10:16.240 --> 0:10:18.920 and fifty kilo jewels, which is what is that about? 0:10:18.960 --> 0:10:22.960 Six almost six hundred calories nine point five grams are protein, 0:10:23.600 --> 0:10:26.880 forty one percent total fat, so certainly a high fat food. 0:10:26.920 --> 0:10:31.160 Twenty four gram saturated so that's about what is that 0:10:31.200 --> 0:10:34.800 eight grams less so not insignificant, sorry, yes, eight grams 0:10:34.880 --> 0:10:37.920 less than the AUDI product carbo hydrate thirty four grams, 0:10:37.960 --> 0:10:40.880 twenty nine grams of which is sugar. So basically what's 0:10:40.880 --> 0:10:45.240 happening in this formulation. It's got less saturated fat but 0:10:45.280 --> 0:10:46.920 more sugar, and that's the way food works. You know, 0:10:46.920 --> 0:10:48.559 if you've got something that's got less fat, it's often 0:10:48.600 --> 0:10:50.640 got more carbohydrate. They've got to make the food out 0:10:50.640 --> 0:10:54.520 of something. So the ingredient lis Land is really clean, 0:10:54.600 --> 0:10:58.640 like cocoa, mass, sugar, cocoa, butter, vanilla. So the Audi 0:10:58.679 --> 0:11:00.720 one is pretty clean too, but this is even more 0:11:00.920 --> 0:11:03.960 is even more clean. And all they've done, is we've said, 0:11:04.040 --> 0:11:06.360 is they've got a little because the cocoa percentage is 0:11:06.400 --> 0:11:09.679 less seventy percent versus eighty five percent. They've pulled some 0:11:09.720 --> 0:11:12.920 fat out and they've added extra sugar to give it 0:11:12.960 --> 0:11:15.160 at you know, the flavor that we love, which is sweeter. 0:11:15.360 --> 0:11:18.840 So this translates. I think you'll be more familiar than 0:11:18.880 --> 0:11:21.040 this an I am, because I'm not a link chocolate person. 0:11:21.520 --> 0:11:24.079 But a square I believe of lint. So a little 0:11:24.080 --> 0:11:27.000 square of cabridge is about five whereas a square of 0:11:27.040 --> 0:11:29.640 lintz ten gram, So twenty grams is two of the 0:11:29.720 --> 0:11:33.240 largest squares. Now, lean The problem I have with lint 0:11:33.679 --> 0:11:35.960 is that in terms of the Audi one, you take 0:11:36.000 --> 0:11:39.080 the row and that's the serve, whereas this like only 0:11:39.120 --> 0:11:41.440 two thirds of the rows to serve. Now, let's be honest, 0:11:41.440 --> 0:11:44.360 who's leaving an extra square, so most people are consuming 0:11:44.360 --> 0:11:47.400 thirty grams. That's at least that's my experience. It's also 0:11:47.440 --> 0:11:50.120 relatively expensive, like five dollars for that block, is it 0:11:50.160 --> 0:11:52.800 is one hundred grams, Like you are, you know, paying 0:11:52.840 --> 0:11:55.080 a premium price for this. Now, I know that chocolate's 0:11:55.080 --> 0:11:57.600 often half price in Woolies and Goals, but it's not 0:11:57.840 --> 0:12:00.520 an insignificant amount to be spending. Eye they're on a 0:12:00.559 --> 0:12:04.320 treat type food, I think overall in terms of the 0:12:04.360 --> 0:12:07.920 grocery budget. So in terms of that twenty grams for 0:12:07.960 --> 0:12:10.439 two squares, it's just over one hundred calories, which is 0:12:10.520 --> 0:12:13.160 quite a nice portion if you can control yourself. Eight 0:12:13.160 --> 0:12:15.920 point two grams are fat total and four point it saturated, 0:12:15.960 --> 0:12:18.680 so a little bit less, but it's not so much 0:12:18.760 --> 0:12:20.720 less you would say it's a much better product. It's 0:12:20.720 --> 0:12:23.200 still relatively high and saturated fat. It's still giving you 0:12:23.640 --> 0:12:26.560 a third, you know, a quarter of your recommended upper 0:12:26.640 --> 0:12:30.079 daily intake in that couple of squares. The sugars again, 0:12:30.160 --> 0:12:33.600 it's almost double, so five point eight gram so about 0:12:33.640 --> 0:12:36.520 just over a teaspoon of sugar in those two tiny squares. 0:12:36.600 --> 0:12:39.000 So you know, I kind of sit middle ground with it. 0:12:39.200 --> 0:12:43.520 Leanne like, I think it's quite a good product. I 0:12:43.559 --> 0:12:46.079 think if I was choosing between the Audi and the LIN, 0:12:46.160 --> 0:12:49.559 I'd probably say the Audi it because really, even though 0:12:49.559 --> 0:12:53.880 the saturated fat in the AUDI is higher, it's it's 0:12:53.960 --> 0:12:56.160 a good portion control. You're less like it over eat 0:12:56.160 --> 0:12:58.760 it because if we said, right, people are probably not 0:12:58.840 --> 0:13:00.720 going to have two squares of LIN, They're probably going 0:13:00.760 --> 0:13:02.680 to have three. Well, then the saturated fat's almost the 0:13:02.720 --> 0:13:06.680 same as the AUDI one, So I think it's mindful 0:13:06.760 --> 0:13:10.400 to be It's still a treat. Two squares is a serve, 0:13:10.880 --> 0:13:12.680 and if you're going to be buying this product, you 0:13:12.720 --> 0:13:14.320 really want to be able to control yourself and make 0:13:14.360 --> 0:13:17.080 sure you can only have two squares because in my experience, 0:13:17.120 --> 0:13:19.680 the squares strope break off that easily either so when 0:13:19.679 --> 0:13:22.320 you flip you break it, you get a little bit 0:13:22.320 --> 0:13:23.760 of the next one anyway, and of course then you 0:13:23.840 --> 0:13:25.920 eat it. So it's not overly helpful when it comes 0:13:25.920 --> 0:13:28.640 to portion control. And I would be encouraging Link to 0:13:28.800 --> 0:13:32.120 do more portion control packs myself, because you know, it 0:13:32.160 --> 0:13:34.040 really does sit in a snack category for a lot 0:13:34.080 --> 0:13:35.000 of people after dinner. 0:13:35.600 --> 0:13:37.439 I mean, I love the limp balls because again, like 0:13:37.520 --> 0:13:40.360 they're really easily portion controls, but they're expensive. I mean, 0:13:40.800 --> 0:13:42.360 I really love them because I tend to. I think 0:13:42.400 --> 0:13:45.040 people know that Link's one of my favorite brands. It's creamy, 0:13:45.120 --> 0:13:47.000 the mouth feels beautiful, and I think I get a 0:13:47.040 --> 0:13:48.960 lot of it if it's my birthaer, it's Christmas or 0:13:48.960 --> 0:13:50.760 something like that. Like I said to Mum, I don't want, 0:13:50.800 --> 0:13:52.440 you know, the normal chocolate. Give me some limp balls. 0:13:52.440 --> 0:13:55.720 They're beautiful than my favorite, but they're honestly, they're really expensive, 0:13:55.760 --> 0:13:57.920 and again, unless they're sort of half prize that calls 0:13:57.920 --> 0:14:00.720 on waves, I don't really touch them because they're not 0:14:00.840 --> 0:14:03.360 really budget friendly at all, although they are delicious, So 0:14:03.559 --> 0:14:06.360 I prefer the little balls versus sometimes they're squares because 0:14:06.360 --> 0:14:08.600 they are a little bit better portion control wise. But 0:14:08.880 --> 0:14:10.880 I agree. I think both of the products are excellent. 0:14:11.080 --> 0:14:13.400 They're both very good quality dark chocolates. But I just 0:14:13.440 --> 0:14:15.120 don't want people to lose sight of the fact that 0:14:15.200 --> 0:14:17.400 it is still at chocolate. It's not something we can 0:14:17.440 --> 0:14:19.680 just add will nearly into our diet and go all right, 0:14:19.680 --> 0:14:21.320 We'll have a couple of squares every single night, and 0:14:21.400 --> 0:14:23.600 that's fine and it doesn't count. But I don't think 0:14:23.640 --> 0:14:26.320 there's too much of a different serving size wise to say, 0:14:26.520 --> 0:14:29.680 if you were, say diabetic versus having high cholesterol, you 0:14:29.680 --> 0:14:32.240 would go one towards the other shore ones they're audi 0:14:32.280 --> 0:14:34.600 ones higher and saturated fat, and they're lit ones higher 0:14:34.640 --> 0:14:36.520 and sugar. But I don't really think it makes as 0:14:36.560 --> 0:14:38.960 long as you can stick to the recommended portion sizes. 0:14:39.000 --> 0:14:41.360 I don't really think it makes that much difference clinically 0:14:41.880 --> 0:14:44.080 or have that much of a clinical difference or effect 0:14:44.240 --> 0:14:46.600 to really be recommending one or the other. And I'm 0:14:46.640 --> 0:14:48.800 like USUZI I would probably lean towards the audi one 0:14:48.960 --> 0:14:51.200 just from a budgeting perspective, because I think it is 0:14:51.240 --> 0:14:52.360 a lot more cost affordable. 0:14:52.400 --> 0:14:54.880 I would agree, and it is reflective of the better 0:14:54.960 --> 0:14:58.200 quality ingredients and sort of global issues in terms of supply, 0:14:58.440 --> 0:15:02.480 So things like cocoa mass cocoa butter are very very expensive, 0:15:02.800 --> 0:15:05.120 and the same in the case of Caboy's chocolate, which 0:15:05.160 --> 0:15:08.080 is of course a milk based chocolate. Milk is really expensive, 0:15:08.160 --> 0:15:12.080 so that explains why the cost of these products are increasing. 0:15:12.120 --> 0:15:15.200 But I never would pay full price for chocolate, like 0:15:15.240 --> 0:15:17.720 I will only ever purchase it when it's half priced, 0:15:17.720 --> 0:15:20.240 So it's you know, as part of a budget issue. 0:15:20.280 --> 0:15:22.480 It's some fair enough. And the thing with limp balls 0:15:22.560 --> 0:15:24.880 is that that one limp ball is not in significant 0:15:24.920 --> 0:15:27.880 in calories either. So it's a rich food and a 0:15:27.920 --> 0:15:30.080 reminder of how little of these high fat foods we 0:15:30.160 --> 0:15:33.960 need to get the actual high fat amounts. You know, 0:15:33.960 --> 0:15:35.840 they're not products. You can have six limp balls, but 0:15:36.160 --> 0:15:37.840 I know what to bring up to Brisbane next time. 0:15:37.880 --> 0:15:40.200 I know you're a sneaky limp ball lover. Definitely that 0:15:40.240 --> 0:15:42.720 in the bottle of French rose. I'll be your best friend. 0:15:43.800 --> 0:15:45.720 But also a good point with limpballs. They're not the 0:15:45.800 --> 0:15:48.160 high We're not getting the benefits of the antioxidant content 0:15:48.200 --> 0:15:50.360 because the limp balls aren't eighty percent cocoa mass either, 0:15:50.560 --> 0:15:52.320 So I think that's probably a good point. Then. More 0:15:52.680 --> 0:15:54.800 like a milk chocolate based if anything, and it's something 0:15:54.800 --> 0:15:57.240 that you're going to eat because it's delicious, but it's 0:15:57.360 --> 0:15:59.520 very hard to sort of stop eating because although they 0:15:59.520 --> 0:16:01.360 are portioned size, you don't get that nice sort of 0:16:01.560 --> 0:16:04.160 bitterness effect that a good quality dark chocolate gives you, 0:16:04.200 --> 0:16:06.320 which really helps you to sort of stop over eating, 0:16:06.400 --> 0:16:08.920 or I feel anyway, So I think that's an important 0:16:08.920 --> 0:16:10.920 point it's really that you need to be, you know, 0:16:11.000 --> 0:16:13.680 upwards of seventy eighty percent coco to really get those 0:16:13.760 --> 0:16:17.080 high quality antioxidant benefits. So the last one we've chosen 0:16:17.120 --> 0:16:19.880 Susy today is our good old friend Cabri, but we've 0:16:19.920 --> 0:16:22.000 chosen the old Gold variety, and I think a lot 0:16:22.000 --> 0:16:23.720 of people just look at that and think Cabria. It's 0:16:23.720 --> 0:16:26.040 not actually that good quality. But I think some people 0:16:26.080 --> 0:16:28.200 would be surprised to know that this actually has eighty 0:16:28.240 --> 0:16:30.800 one percent dark chocolate in it. So we've gone towards 0:16:30.800 --> 0:16:33.840 the old Gold Roast alm and variety. So this is 0:16:33.880 --> 0:16:36.000 five dollars for a block, and I think the block 0:16:36.040 --> 0:16:38.000 is one hundred and eighty grams, so compared to the 0:16:38.080 --> 0:16:41.080 lint that was five dollars for a block, at one 0:16:41.160 --> 0:16:44.160 hundred grams, you're getting nearly double the product for the 0:16:44.200 --> 0:16:47.680 same price. So affordability wise, again, it's quite a lot 0:16:47.680 --> 0:16:50.400 more budget friendly. So a serving size is twenty five 0:16:50.480 --> 0:16:53.400 grams in the old Gold Roast Almond or four squares. 0:16:53.560 --> 0:16:56.000 So these squares are a lot smaller than the lint, 0:16:56.320 --> 0:16:58.960 than the Limp variety. Like I think they probably a 0:16:59.040 --> 0:17:01.600 third of the size or half the size they're quite small. 0:17:01.640 --> 0:17:03.120 The squares in the old gold, Oh. 0:17:03.080 --> 0:17:05.240 They're tiny. They're the typical cabria. But what I'm just 0:17:05.320 --> 0:17:08.280 checking the in is even though the traditional old gold 0:17:08.520 --> 0:17:12.159 is listed to seventy percent cocoa mass, it doesn't list 0:17:12.240 --> 0:17:14.840 on this product, which makes me think it's not the See, 0:17:14.840 --> 0:17:18.040 this is only forty five percent cocoa, so it's got 0:17:18.080 --> 0:17:21.000 a much lower percentage, which is why it's not claimed. 0:17:21.040 --> 0:17:23.800 So it's one that allows it to be cheaper, but 0:17:23.920 --> 0:17:26.399 you're not getting the antioxidant benefits that you would have 0:17:26.440 --> 0:17:29.800 something that's the seventy or even eighty five percent. So 0:17:29.840 --> 0:17:32.040 that's important to know because you can get a high 0:17:32.440 --> 0:17:35.320 percentage cocoa goal, but it's not part of this rostum. 0:17:35.359 --> 0:17:36.760 And this is only forty five percent. 0:17:37.040 --> 0:17:39.000 Yeah, I see that now, So it says dark chocolate 0:17:39.080 --> 0:17:41.440 eighty one percent. But that's sort of it's very misleading, 0:17:41.520 --> 0:17:44.080
