In a relevant development, an Iranian Ph.D. student succeeded in production of ultra-beneficial dietary chocolate which can prevent constipation and osteoporosis, reduce weight and treat kidney stones.
“Natural sweeteners can be used as a suitable substitute for sugar in the diet of diabetic patients and the people who want to reduce calorie intake and thus it loses weight,” Sousan Karimi, a Ph.D. student of Food Technology at Islamic Azad University’s Shahr-e Kord branch, told ANA.
She described chocolate as one of the most consumed non-dairy food products among all age groups, specially children and teenagers, saying that since chocolate is a food product with fast metabolism and high calories, the sucrose inside it can be replaced with low-digestible carbohydrates to reduce calories and glycemic index and prevent obesity, blood lipids, diabetes and tooth decay.
“The beneficial dietary chocolate contains sugar substitutes along with oleaster powder rich in fiber to prevent constipation and osteoporosis, treat kidney stones, lose weight and improve digestive system’s performance,” Karimi said.
