As I understand, the beneficial antioxidants come from the cocoa bean. There may be more cocoa in dark chocolate but there is still some cocoa in milk chocolate. Yet the articles I have read indicate the only chocolate with this benefit is dark.

    Because there is little to no “bad fat” in dark chocolate and a lot less sugar.

    Dark chocolate generally has less fat and sugar than milk chocolate.
