Additionally, chocolate often has a high amount of heavy metals in it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RzWWOQMLttE I like chocolate as much as the next guy, but personally my skin always starts itching all over (inflammation!) and breaking out in acneic pustules on the chin, be it dark, milk, cacao powder, whatever. It's the same reaction I get from other high sugar content candy.

Dark chocolate has about half as much sugar as milk chocolate. Seems reasonable to be OK with eating a bit of dark chocolate but not milk or white.

The discussion is about chocolate in general, so noting that one form of chocolate is much lower in sugar than another is hardly "whataboutism".
