Eating chocolate on an empty stomach can also cause digestive tract diseases. Because after the chocolate is chewed, it turns into a small amount of liquid and cannot expand the gastrointestinal tract as it would after a normal meal, so the gastrointestinal tract remains in a shriveled state. At this time, the continuously secreted gastrointestinal digestive juices will irritate the gastrointestinal wall and cause diseases such as gastrointestinal ulcers.

Chocolate is the transliteration of a foreign word, Chocolate (translated as “Chocolate” in the Cantonese-speaking regions of Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao). The main ingredient is cocoa beans (coconut-like fruits that bloom and bear fruit on the tree trunk). It has a very early origin, starting from Montezuma, the last emperor of the once-prosperous Astycar dynasty in Mexico. At that time, it was a society that worshipped chocolate. People liked to add chili peppers, paprika, vanilla beans and spices to drinks, make foam, and drink 50CC a day from a golden cup. It was a drink for court members. Its scientific name Theobroma means "drink of the gods" and it is regarded as a precious cardiotonic and diuretic. It has an activating effect on the proteolytic enzymes in gastric juice and can aid digestion.
