Food that is not suitable for eating with chocolate

It is easy to have diarrhea when milk and chocolate are eaten together. Milk is rich in protein and calcium, while chocolate contains oxalic acid. If the two are mixed together, calcium in milk will combine with oxalic acid in chocolate to form a kind of water-insoluble calcium oxalate, which will not only be absorbed after eating, but also cause symptoms such as diarrhea and dry hair, which will affect growth and development.

No matter what flavor of chocolate is, it is a food with high calorie, high sugar and high fat, and it is not suitable to be mixed with soft drinks or juice with high sugar content. Drinking a cup of hot tea and eating chocolate is a good choice. Tea can absorb the fat in chocolate and reduce the probability of food accumulation.
