" Are candies made from carob a healthier substitute for chocolate? Don&amp;#039;t let carob confections, often found in health-food stores, fool you. Although carob powder is lower in fat and naturally sweeter than cocoa powder, fat is added to turn carob powder into candy, so its total fat and calorie counts are usually the same as in chocolate. The difference: The cocoa butter added to chocolate bars is rich in stearic acid (a saturated fat which has been shown not to raise blood cholesterol levels), while any type of fatmay be added to carob -- including artery-clogging palm kernel oil and coconut oil. --Delia Hammock, M.S., R.D., and Samantha Buckanoff, M.S., R.D.
