Not sure if this should be here or in la cuisine, but nevertheless.

Long story short, by replacing fats with fruit juices, scientists can now make chocolate with 50% less fat, without compromising on taste.


Great news for all, I hope the food industry starts using this asap

Fats are good! fruit juices are crap!

I'm more worried about the sugar than the fats.

Why is this "fat" thing still being said as fact? Sugar in stuff is what's gonna make you put weight on.

It makes me cringe that people still believe the blanket statement of dietary fat = body fat.

Is it referring to saturated fats.

Exactly. Nothing more evil than fruit juices. Why not just empty a buttload of sugar into a glass, throw in an apple and chuck it in the blender.

Poor pancreas get slammed each time the juice goes down the hatch.

SUGAR is the one to watch for.

Saturated fats are good.

Likewise. There's a lot of sugar in chocolate anyway, so if they've taken half the fat out and replaced it with some sort of concentrated fruit juice (which will be mostly sugar) the sugar content will be astonishing. May as well sprinkle some cocoa powder on granulated sugar and eat that instead.

1350kg of milk chocolate of which 640kg is sugar.
White chocolate is worse, its more than 60% sugar per 1000kg.

The final product will taste fruity - but there is the option to use water and a small amount of ascorbic acid (vitamin C) instead of juice to maintain a chocolatey taste.

Sounds like less fat and no extra sugar to me. Win win.

You mad?

I scanned the article but couldn't see whether it mentions the fruit juice is concentrate or 100% squeezed. lol at the drama queens saying fruit juice is evil.

What?

People are saying that it has nothing to do with the fat, SUGAR is the problem.
