Grease in chocolate, often called cocoa butter, mostly composed of saturated grease (60%), especially stearic. However, the Chocolate grease is a vegetable grease that didn't contain cholesterol. High content of stearic to chocolate allegedly the reason why chocolate grease is not as bad as animal grease. Have long been known that stearic is a neutral fatty acid that will not trigger blood cholesterol. Because, it turns out stearic digested slowly by the body and also absorbed less.
One third of grease found in chocolate is oleic acid is an unsaturated fatty acid. Oleic acid was also dominant in the olive oil. Epidemiological studies in a Mediterranean population consume a lot of oleic acid from olive oil oleic concluded positive effect on heart health.
