This product, like any food, should be consumed in moderation as part of an overall healthy diet. CocoaVia® Snacks can be enjoyed as a substitute for other foods that may not provide heart health benefits. Per serving, each CocoaVia® Snack contains 1.1–1.5 g sterol esters (0.7–0.9 g free sterols). Research demonstrates that consuming more than 3 grams of plant sterols (~5 g as sterol esters) per day provides little additional cholesterol lowering benefits.

People with diabetes may have specific nutritional requirements, since they are at increased risk for heart disease, stroke and high cholesterol. It is best to speak with your physician about your cholesterol levels and how CocoaVia® products fit into an appropriate diabetic diet. Consuming plant sterols may be one way to help maintain cholesterol levels within the normal range, but blood sugar levels and body weight must be monitored and maintained.

The pre-portioned CocoaVia® Dark and Milk Chocolate bars range from 2 grams to 7 grams of fat per serving — which is less than most larger-sized chocolate bars. The Milk Chocolate Covered Raisins contain 6 grams of fat per serving. The Dark Chocolate Covered Almonds contain 11 grams of fat per package, but the majority of the fat comes from the almonds — which are rich in monounsaturated fat and are considered a "good" fat.

Each serving of CocoaVia® provides 1.1 to 1.5 grams of plant sterols. The FDA has said that 1.3 grams of plant sterols a day are needed to show a significant cholesterol-lowering effect if eaten at two different times a day with other foods and incorporated into a diet that's low in saturated fat and cholesterol.

You may have heard that a higher percentage of cocoa means that the product contains more heart healthy flavanols. When it comes to heart health and cocoa flavanols, the most important factor is whether the naturally occurring flavanols have been preserved or maintained in the final product. Seeing 30%, 50% or 70% cocoa on the label does not guarantee that it has higher levels of cocoa flavanols.

CocoaVia® contains 1 gram to 3.5 grams of saturated fat per serving. But it's important to remember that the saturated fat in cocoa butter is made up of approximately equal parts of stearic, oleic and palmitic acids. This combination doesn't act like a saturated fat, and research supports that the cocoa butter in chocolate does not raise blood cholesterol like other saturated fatty acids.

That means fewer calories compared to a regular, larger-sized chocolate bar.

No, antioxidants are not the same as flavanols. Antioxidants are compounds which can slow or prevent the oxidation of other molecules. While flavanols have been shown to have some antioxidant-like effects, it is a true understatement to refer to them as solely antioxidants.

If you are allergic or sensitive to certain foods or ingredients, you should always read the ingredient statement and any allergen statements to ensure the product does not contain ingredients of concern to you. Some CocoaVia® Snacks contain nuts and other allergens which are clearly indicated in either the ingredient listing on the label or just below it in an Allergy Information statement.
