No, chocolates don't contain caffine.
Cocoa solids
in chocolate do contain some caffeine so any drink with chocolate in is not
going to be caffeine free. But milk chocolate contains a lot less cocoa solids
than dark chocolate, so the type of chocolate used to make the drink will
significantly alter the amount of caffeine in it.
Yes chocolate does have caffeine in (about 5mg in a bar) but compared to how much is in a cup of coffee it really is not something to worry about.
if you drink it in moderation you can have hot chocolate with diabetes. It's better to make your own with unsweetened cocoa powder and then use artificial sweeteners to make it taste sweeter. You can use packet hot chocolate but you must read the nutritional information at the back so you know what's in it. You can also buy low-sugar versions.
Yes. Women
are generally recommended to cut down on their caffeine intake during
pregnancy but the amount of caffeine in
a cup of hot chocolate is much less than you find in coffee or even tea.
So keep drinking your hot chocolate. Obviously an excess of anything isn't good for you, so just aim for a balanced healthy diet.
there has
been some research which suggests that high-fat foods can interrupt your sleep
cycle. Also they are heavy to digest which can also influence the kind of sleep
that you have.
Caffeine is
also another big culprit of sleep disruption and even small amounts can cause a
problem. It's not just coffee that contains caffeine but also cola, chocolate
and decaf coffee too.
Watch out
for medications - some tablets also contain caffeine and can affect sleep.
