Milk chocolates account for about 50% of all chocolate consumption but they, in general, contain as little as 10% cocoa.

Dark chocolate contains high amounts of antioxidants, which are believed to delay or prevent certain types of diseases like cardiac arrest. These health benefits, perceived by people and doctors, is one of the main reason behind strong growth for products with high quantities of cocoa.
