There is caffeine in chocolate, present only in small amounts. For those who must avoid caffeinecompletely, this may be bad news. However, for those who can have a small amount of caffeine, the caffeine in chocolate is not likely to be problematic unless one consumes vast quantities ofchocolate on a regular basis.

The caffeine in chocolate varies according to the type of chocolate one chooses. Caffeine inchocolate that is unsweetened or is semi-sweet usually contains about five to 10 milligrams ofcaffeine per ounce of chocolate. Caffeine in chocolate with milk added is usually measured at five milligrams or less per ounce. Generally, caffeine in chocolate is present in higher amounts, as the chocolate gets darker.

Usually, the highest caffeine measurement for an ounce of chocolate is 10 milligrams. One can compare this to coffee to see that this is a relatively minuscule amount. The average cup of coffee contains about ten to fifteen times the amount of caffeine in one ounce of chocolate. Usually coffee contains between 100-150 milligrams of caffeine in an eight-ounce cup. This may vary slightly according to brand and roast style.

The caffeine in tea also can be compared to caffeine in chocolate. Green tea is much lower incaffeine than coffee, containing between 15-40 milligrams per eight-ounce cup. Black tea has an average of 50 milligrams of caffeine per cup. Both green and black tea will have a higher caffeinerating depending upon amount of tea used and brewing time. hope this helps you..

Is dark chocolate a diaretic?

Dark chocolate is not classified as a diuretic, but it does contain some compounds that can have mild diuretic effects, such as caffeine and theobromine. These substances can promote increased urine production in some individuals. However, the diuretic effect is generally not strong enough to consider dark chocolate a reliable diuretic. It is important to consume it in moderation as part of a balanced diet.
