Why are you saying that I'm suggesting one piece of chocolate a day will bring on diabetes or obesity? You may as well say that I'm suggesting they only eat one piece of chocolate a day and will die of starvation as it would be just as justifiable a reading.
No, eating chocolate every day (and in my mind I thought of the kind of chocolate confectionary one would buy in a corner shop) would suggest an unhealthy lifestyle in general and an inability to eat healthily, again, in general.

Again, why are you reading things that I did not state? I wrote "obesity and diabetes". Obesity is definitely a major risk factor, if not a direct cause of type 2 diabetes. The risk of it increases linearly with BMI.
To think I suggested that eating one bar of chocolate alone would cause diabetes is absurd.
- bruce511 3y agoYour follow up is perhaps more nuanced than your original post, and does a better job of explaining your thinking here. I simply took your original post as it was stated; >> On the other hand, eating a piece every day for 3 years will likely bring other health effects (primarily, obesity and diabetes) I appreciate you glorifying your original intent.
- brigandish 3y agoThat's fair enough, several people interpreted what was written in a way I did not intend. glorifying? I don't know if that's autocorrect or a dig but it did make me smile! Anyway, no bother either way.
