Do chocolate brownies provide calcium

Answer 1

No, not in a significant amount. In children or in healthy adults who are not overweight the benefits are many. The reason why this question is common is that chocolate milk contains a small amount of oxalic acid (0.5-0.6%), a compound occurring naturally in cocoa beans and other plants. Because oxalic acid can combine with calcium in the intestine to form calcium oxalate, calcium's availability from chocolate milk has been questioned. However, there is no scientific evidence that oxalic acid in chocolate milk impairs the absorption of calcium from this food. One study found that calcium absorption from chocolate milk was similar to that from unflavored milk and other calcium-containing foods. A reason why calcium absorption from chocolate milk is not decreased is that the cacao beans used in the production of chocolate milk are always fermented and processed, which reduces oxalate levels. As children and many adults tend to be willing to drink chocolate or other flavored milks more than they would regular milk, chocolate milk is a good way of ensuring that they get all of the many valuable nutrients available from milk. A regular cup of chocolate milk contains about 2-4 teaspoons of sugar (~60 calories) so overweight individuals should be aware of this and drink it in moderation.
