It's misleading to refer to such products as healthy when they are laden with sugar and fat. What is undoubtedly healthy however is pure unadulterated cocoa powder which has no sugar added to it and only has fat that is naturally present in it rather than any additives and so on.

It also states that "cocoa powder has been found to contain high levels of acrylamides, substances known to increase the cancer rate in animals and is considered to be a probable human carcinogen". Are these acrylamides due to additions to cocoa during processing? How can cocoa contain both carcinogenic and anti-carcinogenic substances at the same time. Please clarify.
