“Aaaay, if I didn’t get so fat…” How many times have we said or heard this phrase? It is the ‘neither with you nor without you’ for women, the maximum temptation of desire, the great and only substitute for sex… which is pronounced almost as quickly as it disappears in the hands: chocolate.
- We women love chocolate, a food that makes us feel better, that gives us strength and energy, that gets us out of bed when nothing and nobody can, that restores our emotional well-being. All these psychological benefits are provided by various components with stimulating properties, especially phenylethylamine, a component of the amphetamine family.
- However, it is fattening. And a lot. Its high fat content makes women feel bad for consuming it or directly prohibit or dose it. Because chocolate is also hooked, and whoever tries it wants more and more… until it seems that we are going to explode, we feel remorseful and let’s say “I don’t eat it anymore”.
Fat free chocolate
- That “I want but I can’t” of the woman could end forever. Scientists from Great Britain have found the key to creating a chocolate that retains its properties but with half the fat content. Yes, you’re reading that right: finally, a chocolate that doesn’t get fat!
- But how? We explain it; It is a question of substituting up to 50% of the fat of the cocoa butter and milk with small drops of fruit juice, without touching the content of Polimorpho V, a substance that gives the chocolate that unique texture due to which it melts in the mouth.
- The only appreciable difference is a slightly fruity taste. But even this could be avoided, since those responsible for the invention ensure that the juice could be replaced by water and small amounts of ascorbic acid (vitamin C). Then there would be no difference to the original chocolate.
- The question is, what are you waiting for to market it?
