Short excerpt from a YouTube video by Aaron Hartman, MD (Gut Health 101-5) arguing that candy is generally junk food but offering one exception: high-quality dark chocolate. The speaker recommends the brand Hue, notes its simple ingredients (coconut, sugar), and reports personal moderation (one or two pieces, not an entire bar).

Candy is junk 100% of the time. The one exception that I would, I personally believe to that is dark chocolate is you can find pretty good high quality dark chocolate. Hue is a great brand that has dark chocolate that's really delicious. Very simple ingredients. They use coconut, sugar. So it's a real natural thing. Like I personally can eat a piece or two of that and I'm not suddenly like, oh, no, I ate like an entire chocolate bar like in one sitting. But it's good. I mean, it's good quality stuff.
