Lindt is a great chocolate bar, but one should be wary of which Lindt bar you choose if you are also seeking the health benefits of eating chocolate.
If you buy the 70% or 85% bar, then you are safe. They do not use the dutching process (use of an alkalizing agent to process cocoa) for these two products. However, Lindt uses the dutching process for the 90% bar, so beware. This process unfortunately takes many of the flavonoids out of the chocolate, deleting the antioxidant ability it might have had. I have also heard bad things about the soya lecithin they use (interrupts testosterone production) but this may just be a rumor or an over-dramatization of its effect.
Therefore, stick with the 70% or the 85% bar if you want the health benefits of eating this chocolate. And, believe me, Lindt is the way to go for this benefit, since these bars taste great, and they are some of the cheaper quality bars on the market. Don’t get me wrong, they are not gourmet chocolate bars, but they are quite good, and they also preserve most of the health benefits too.
