We all know chocolate comes laden with calories that can upset our diet, especially if we don’t know when to stop. The good news for all chocaholics out there is that scientists have finally come up with a recipe for chocolate with less calories and, even better, with the same exquisite taste, as the Daily Mail can confirm.
Scientists working on this at the University of Birmingham insist that nothing is lost in terms of taste with the new and improved type of chocolate. It is obtained by means of a method that replaces fat in foods with non-fat substances like water, gel or air. The same method will be later applied to other foods that are considered responsible for the ongoing obesity pandemic, like mayonnaise and junk food.
Aside from the taste, which remains the same, the flavor and smell of the low-fat food are also unaltered, researchers say. Moreover, they’re also working on creating a tasty porridge that should make one feel full for several hours in a row, thus eliminating the need of snacking and, subsequently, the mindless eating some engage in. This “super porridge” should go into production soon, and works “by using a liquid which changes into a gel when it comes into contact with acid in the stomach,” the Mail says.
