A rich, warm chocolaty cup of cocoa should warm your heart, not hurt it.

For those freaking out over the addition of cornstarch: Italian hot chocolate has always been made this way. Also, from the comments about its being "unhealthy, " I think some of you may be confusing cornstarch with corn syrup.

Dude... Full fat milk has been proven *multiple times* to be healthier for you.

The fat helps with the absorption of important nutrients such as calcium and iron. :)

Don't worry about low fat milk, the fat is not proven to cause heart disease directly


Especially if ur KETO, then you would want more good fats like saturated, and avoiding sodium and sugar

will it not be too bitter without any sugar..?

Corn starch??! LoL.... C'mon American Heart Association, if people are surfing the web for "healthy alternatives" recipes then they're bound to find out that corn starch is NOT healthy at some point. Help your credibility a bit by researching healthier alternative thickening agents. If you're going to use something that has such a high glycemic index number, like corn starch, then you might as well just add sugar.

Am appalled that this is from the American heart association 😣
For those who are considering to follow this recipe, I implore u to do some research on the ingredients they are suggesting u use here 🙏

This has corn starch in it so is NOT healthy, so go somewhere else for your recipe.
