What Chocolate Milk Is Healthy?
To its credit, chocolate milk has the same nutrients as regular, nonflavored milk. Whether flavored or plain, milk is a valuable source of protein, vitamin D, calcium, and potassium, which are especially important in bone health and growth in children.
It doubles the amount of sugar in a cup of milk, and increases the number of calories from 100 to 140. It trains kids to have a sweeter palate — if your child is constantly drinking chocolate milk, he/she will have hard time drinking regular milk, or really anything that doesn’t have high sugar content.
•Chocolate milk hydrates your body and quenches your thirst because milk is 87 per cent water. After physical activity chocolate milk helps to replenish your body’s energy stores, and build and repair muscle. •One cup of chocolate milk contains about the same amount of caffeine as decaffeinated coffee.
On the whole, based on the composition of chocolate milk, it is not as lousy soda or other sweetened drinks. The health benefits certainly outweigh the bad. The main point of contention with beverages like chocolate milk is the presence of added sugar.
