benefits
Science has recently been able to explain why eating chocolate is good.
Cacao benefits:
- #1 food source of antioxidants – up to 5 times higher than the next highest source
- #1 food source of magnesium – this mineral is the biggest deficiency in the Standard America Diet
- Phenylethylamine (PEA) - the compound which scientists believe is released when you're in love
- Anandamide - the ‘bliss chemical’
- Tryptophan – the precursor to serotonin
- MAO Inhibitors – allows more serotonin to flow in your body
- Appetite suppresant & aphrodisiac
None of the above statements have been evaluated by the FDA, although they told us they really love raw chocolate.
