The fats in chocolate are 1/3 oleic acid, 1/3 stearic acid and 1/3 palmitic acid.

Oleic Acid is a healthy monounsaturated fat that is also found in olive oil.

Stearic Acid is a saturated fat but one which research shows has a neutral effect on cholesterol.

Palmitic Acid is a saturated fat which raises cholesterol and heart disease risk.

That means only 1/3 of the fat in dark chocolate is bad for you.
