Dark chocolate is actually better for you than milk chocolate. The additional milk in milk chocolate greatly increases the chocolate's fat content. Furthermore, a greater amount of sugar is added to milk chocolate to give it it's trademark sweetness, dark chocolate is not as sweet but it is richer. Dark chocolate also contains higher amounts of cocoa which has been shown to be good as a cancer preventitive and good for the heart - almost in the same way as red wine.
In terms of chocolate though, the best chocolate for you is actually carob chocolate. This chocolate is made from the carob plant which ahas a natural chocolate flavour and is naturally sweet. To make chocolate from cocoa, the cocoa beans are roasted then large quantities of sugar and milk are added to the cocoa to sweeten it and give it the creamy texture. Carob choclate contains less milk, is free from lactose (an additive put in the milk after it is taken from the cow and is actually bad for you), is naturally sweet so conatins less sugar and most importantly contains very little caffene. We are all aware of the harmful effects of caffene most commonly as affecting sleep but there are other health problems.
Thus, dark chocolate is better than milk but carob chocolate is the best of all 3.
(dark chocolate tastes the best tho!)
