Chocolate milk is sweet chocolate milk. Can be made by mixing chocolate syrup (or cocoa powder) with milk (from cow, goat, soybeans, rice, etc.). It can be purchased pre-mixed with milk or made at home by combining milk with cocoa powder and sweeteners (such as sugar or sugar substitutes), melted chocolate, chocolate syrup, or pre-made milk chocolate milk mixture. Other ingredients, such as starch, salt, carrageenan, vanilla, or artificial flavoring are sometimes added. To increase the nutritional value of the product, sometimes some minerals such as zinc oxide or iron are added.
Carrageenan is used at very low concentrations to form an invisible weak gel that prevents large solid brown particles from sedimentation. Chocolate milk should be refrigerated like milk without flavor, with the exception of some high temperature pasteurized drinks (UHT), which can be stored at room temperature. Chocolate milk was first made by Hans Sloane in Ireland in the late 1700s, and was generally served cold. The nutritional quality of chocolate milk is a matter of debate: while some studies have criticized the high sugar content of chocolate milk, other studies have shown that chocolate milk is superior to white milk.

Some nutritionists criticize chocolate milk due to its high sugar content and its association with childhood obesity. In New York City, food school officials reported that nearly 60 percent of the 100 million cartons served annually contain fat-free chocolate milk. Because chocolate milk can contain twice as much sugar than regular low-fat milk from extra sugar, some school districts have stopped presenting products altogether, including some areas in California and Washington, D.C.
According to a national online representative survey commissioned by Innovation Center of US Dairy, seven percent of American adults believe that chocolate milk comes from cow chocolate.

Nutrition study
A number of studies have been issued related to the nutritional milk of chocolate. A 2005 study by the Department of Education of New York City (NYC) found that by removing whole milk and replacing it with low fat or fat-free chocolate milk, students were served about 5,960 fewer calories and 619 grams less per year.. However, recent research shows that fat-free and low-fat milk can actually increase body fat and contribute to obesity. Whole milk is actually healthier for obese children than low fat or nonfat milk.
In a study conducted in 2006, the researchers stated that the benefits of drinking chocolate milk is likely due to the ratio of carbohydrates to proteins, among other nutritional properties. However, this study is small-scale because it is performed only on nine athletes and partially funded by the dairy industry. In addition, this study compared chocolate milk with two energy drinks and unflavored milk was not used for comparison, so it is not known whether chocolate milk is superior to milk without flavor as a recovery drink.
An April 2007 study from Loughborough University showed that chocolate milk can improve recovery when taken after athletic workouts. The study found that milk is an effective rehydration drink.
A November 2009 study conducted by scientists in Barcelona, ​​Spain showed that regularly consuming skim milk with rich cocoa flavonoids can reduce inflammation and slow or prevent the progression of atherosclerosis. However, the study notes that the effect is not as seen in the consumption of red wine.
A study published in 2009 compared chocolate milk with commercial recovery drinks (matched for carbohydrate and protein content) given to cyclists after intense exercise. The researchers found no difference in post-exercise plasma kinase levels and muscle pain, or in cycling to fatigue. However, since chocolate milk is usually cheaper than commercial recovery drinks, the researchers conclude that chocolate milk "serves as a more convenient, cheaper recovery... option for many athletes".
A sports nutrition study in May 2010 concluded that "the recovery of exercise during the short-term period of heavy football training seems to be the same when Chocolate Milk drinks and CHO (Carbohydrates) are consumed after exercise".
Yet another study in 2011 at Kean University in New Jersey concluded the same results in male soccer players found that there was an increase in time for fatigue when milk chocolate was consumed. Kean University studies also see the effects of chocolate milk on female football players who undergo morning and afternoon practices during the preseason. They were given electrolyte or chocolate milk beverages between morning and afternoon pramus practices. Following every afternoon workout, each athlete completes a walking shuttle for exhaustion. The study concluded that chocolate milk is as beneficial as carbohydrate-electrolyte drinks in promoting recovery in women.
Nutritional value
There are 5 milligrams of caffeine in every carton of mini milk chocolate. Chocolate has oxalic acid, which reacts with calcium in milk that produces calcium oxalate, preventing calcium from being absorbed in the intestine. However, it is present in a fairly small amount so that the effect on calcium absorption can be neglected. Because chocolate contains a relatively small amount of oxalate, it is unclear how far chocolate consumption affects healthy people with a calcium-rich diet.
In a 2008 study, participants who consumed one or more servings of chocolate each day had a lower bone density and strength than participants who ate one serving of chocolate six times a week or less. The researchers believe this may be because oxalates inhibit the absorption of calcium - but it could also be because of the sugar content in chocolate, which can increase the excretion of calcium. It is clear, however, that eating foods high in oxalate - and in turn its effect on calcium absorption - is a more significant concern for people with oxalate kidney stones, which occur when there is too much oxalate in the urine. These people should primarily reduce their oxalate intake and increase their calcium intake. However, the high magnesium content in chocolate tends to reduce the risk of stone formation, because like citrate, magnesium is also an inhibitor of urinary crystal formation. Contrary to popular belief, chocolate milk has been proven in some studies to be actually healthier than white milk. Various nutrients provided by chocolate milk more than white milk nutrition.
