Only dark chocolate is healthy as far as I know. This is because the ratio of cacao used is higher compared to other variants such as milk and white chocolate. I think white chocolate is the one with the most fat content, while milk chocolate somehow falls in between. In a nutshell, go for chocolates with 60% cacao or higher. Although, I must warn you that the higher the percentage of cacao, the more bitter it gets. I've tries one at 80% cacao and didn't like it at all. It tastes a little nasty boohooho. From what I've read up on, dark chocolate is an anti-oxidant, meaning that it helps keep your cells healthy. Some also claim that it helps prevent cancer, probably linked to the antioxidant properties it has. Hope this helps.
