	Chocolate - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Chocolate is made from the fermented, roasted, and ground beans taken from the pod of the tropical cacao tree Theobroma cacao native to Central America, which has an intensely flavoured bitter taste.
		Mars is presently marketing the Cocoavia™ brand, a line of functional food chocolates which have cholesterol-reducing phytosterols and at least 100 milligrams of flavanols.
		Unless the chocolate is specifically labelled as vegan, another complication for strict vegans is that the sugar used in a particular chocolate may have been processed with bone char.

	Science Notes 2000--Cheers for Chocolate
		Mars also funded a nutritionist to investigate the historical use of chocolate as a medicine, perhaps searching for additional health claims.
		Chocolate beans, however, are extremely bitter, a taste associated with poisonous plants.

		Mars executives apparently believe a less murky image will help them attract talent, for one; for another, those same executives believe that Mars needs to respond to consumers' increasing demands to know more about the companies they buy products from.
		What we call chocolate is, essentially, the highly processed combination of the cocoa butter, chocolate liquor and sometimes powdered cocoa that are derived from the beans, and which is then combined with sugar, emulsifiers and (often) milk.
		While Mars had spent at least $800,000 financing Keen's studies, Keen told me he had no qualms, then or now, about using private-industry money, despite the potential for perceived bias; if other food companies spent as much as Mars on studies, he said, the science of nutrition might be much further along.

	The Emperors of Chocolate by Joel Glenn Brenner
		Mars was the only company to operate an air-conditioned distribution warehouse and control an enormous fleet of refrigerated supply trucks, a boon to the troops who were being scattered throughout the 400,000 square miles of Saudi Desert.
		Not that it is difficult to produce a non-melting chocolate; Hershey had solved that riddle long ago by simply replacing the cocoa butter in the Ration D with a fat that could withstand extremely high temperatures.
		If the chocolate tasted good enough, they believed there was a solid market for it, especially in the southern half of the United States, where chocolate consumption has always lagged behind the rest of the nation.

		Mars went to work for the Swiss masters Tobler and Nestlé, and learned some of their chocolatiering secrets.
		When Mars finally consolidated his ownership of the company in 1964 he held an executive staff meeting at which he sank to his knees and announced, “I pray for Milky way, I pray for Snickers.” He fired the staff’s French chef, had the executive dining room demolished, and sold the art collection.

		The new display case looked like any ordinary shelf unit, but it was refrigerated, allowing merchants to prominently display Mars chocolates in the heat of the day while the competition's candy stayed buried in the freezer in the back of the store-a distinct advantage for Mars.
		But the men from Mars were oblivious to all of this; their mission, as spelled out by headquarters, was to protect the Mars franchise-to sell Mars bars, Milky Ways, Starburst Fruit Chews and Uncle Ben's rice to anyone who could possibly use the products during the standoff.
		Outraged at losing the bid and certain Mars had cheated to win it, they accused Mars of making its chocolate bars with excessive amounts of lactose-a sugar found in milk that is permitted only in limited amounts under the Food and Drug Administration's standards for chocolate.

	Global Exchange : Chocolate
		While chocolate is sweet for us, it can be heartbreaking for the hundreds of thousands of child laborers that pick the cocoa that goes into some of our favorite treats.

		Mars (as in the chocolate maker), is footing research to show that cocoa -- which most of its chocolate candies contain -- can be used to treat diabetes, strokes, and vascular disease.
		But the wildest part of this flavanol story is that Mars launched a new commercial candy bar, the CocoaVia Chocolate Crunch Bar, which -- while it does contain only 80 calories and specially preserved flavanols -- also includes 9 grams of sugar and 15 g of carbs.
		I'm hoping that Mars Inc. will work toward perfecting the best processing techniques and come up with some new products to support this research, which is, after all, supported by Mars Inc. for the most part.
