White chocolate says it is worse than black chocolate, is it?
There are people who categorically ensure that white chocolate is not chocolate ...
It is practically in its entirety cocoa butter (fat), no cocoa and sugar, therefore, of course, it is worse than any chocolate (cocoa almost entirely: more cocoa less sugar) more pure.

In my opinion to white they should not call it chocolate!Oh well
I take 85% cocoa chocolate from time to time, but it is not worth whim.That was repeated here many times.
Keep in mind, that more than half is fat (and a lot of saturated), so that the carbohydrates that have very slowly enter.
In my case, the chocolate that I take for 100 gr about 20 gr of carbohydrates.I take when I feel like (because I love the bitter taste that it has) a small tablet of about 10 grams, that is, about 2 gr of carbohydrates that I do not tell, although I notice them after a while with a slight climb on the sensor, but verybit.And I stay so comfortable
All the best

In flavor, in price, in quality ...?
Regarding glycemia?Your question is very relative.As for blood glucose, I suppose it is what is referred to, white chocolate is sweeter than black chocolate because it carries more sugar -& GT;The sugar rises more, at the expense of a better flavor.
So, as for your question ... Is it worse?
As for flavor: no.In fact, it is sweeter than black chocolate and, therefore, more pleasant for the palate.
In terms of glycemic climb: yes.Obviously, due to its greater amount of glucose.
I hope I have clarified your doubts.For the next one, the precision as to what you ask is of vital importance 😉
All the best!
