If you milk chocolate and dark chocolate+milk the same?

between milk chocolate and dark chocolate, dark chocolate is said to be the beneficial one. but what if you eat dark chocolate with a glass of milk? is that the same thing as milk chocolate in theory or is that combination still better than milk chocolate?

    According to the article below, milk blocks antioxidants in the dark chocolate. So dark chocolate alone, without milk, is best.

    No, its not the same, technically. Milk chocolate is composed of chocolate liquor+cocoa butter+vanilla+sugar+lecithin+milk solids whereas dark chocolate is composed of the same with the exception of the milk solids. Milk contains milk solids but the structure is completely different. As far as dark chocolate being more beneficial, that is debatable. Chocolate (cocao beans) in its raw form without being processed is said to be good for you, as in the times of the Aztecs when they would brew the beans similar to coffee and drink it. But with processing and the addition of sugar, it looses that beneficial factor. Cocao beans in their raw form are very bitter and not pleasant to drink but the Aztecs would drink it before war to keep their stamina up from the caffeine. And just for fun, all the chocolate of the world is picked by hand and dried out by the sun. It is only processed after it has been picked and dried.

    no, it is not the same. dark chocolate plus milk will still be healthier than milk chocolate. youll have the healthy qualities of dark chocolate, plus the added health benefits of milk. milk chocolate is a different kind of chocolate that is not beneficial to your health.
