Is chocolate bad for cancer?
There is no evidence that chocolate cures cancer or benefits from eating chocolate during cancer. Chocolate is still a candy high in fat and sugar, so you should limit its use whether you have cancer or not.
1. Can cancer eat chocolate?
Research shows that flavanols in cocoa beans (the ingredients in chocolate) are antioxidants, they can reduce cell damage (damaged cells can lead to cancer development). What we don't know is whether chocolate itself has any effect on cancer.
There have been some studies on the health benefits of chocolate, but they mostly asked people to remember how much chocolate or chocolate products they ate, and then compare it to whether they had heart disease or cancer. mail or not.
Studies have shown mixed results. Some reports suggest that eating chocolate treats cancer or reduces the risk of cancer, while others do not show this benefit.

There is stronger evidence that chocolate can help prevent heart disease. Flavanol has been shown to lower blood pressure and make your heart, veins, and arteries work better.
It's important to remember that chocolate is still candy and it has extra calories, sugar, and fat so it should be eaten sparingly. After all, we know that being overweight is linked to several types of cancer, not to mention diabetes, heart disease and other chronic diseases. If you want to get more antioxidants, you can eat fruits and vegetables instead of eating lots of chocolate.
2. Eat chocolate when you have cancer
But if you still crave chocolate, try a small amount of high-quality, dark chocolate with at least 70% cocoa. It may give your heart some benefits and is generally lower in sugar and saturated fat than milk chocolate or other chocolates.
Thus, we currently have no evidence that chocolate cures cancer or that there is much benefit from eating chocolate during cancer. Chocolate is still a candy high in fat and sugar, so you should limit its use whether or not you have cancer.
