Sure, Lindt uses a tad bit of cocoa butter in their truffle recipe, but they also mix in palm kernel oil—which is bad news for your health and weight loss progress. “The stearic acid in cocoa butter fights inflammation and staves off hunger, but the highly processed palm kernel oil promotes inflammation and passes quickly through the GI tract, so you won’t likely won’t reap much of this truffle’s cocoa benefits,” explains dietitian Cassie Bjork, RD, LD. That’s because this oil is made up of 80 percent saturated fats, which are notorious for causing inflammation in large doses.
