XOCAI DARK CHOCOLATE
I thought chocolate was bad for you!
Most chocolate is filled with high levels of processed sugars, conventional milk, genetically modified soy lecithin, contaminants such as lead and debris, added caffeine, as well as waxes and fillers. Some are even sweetened with artificial sweeteners and preserved with chemicals and hydrogenated oils. For these reasons, typically we request people to avoid chocolate. Besides the issues with type 2 diabetes and excess sweets, milk chocolate is also linked with increased tooth decay, the caffeine is linked with lack of focus and hyperactivity especially in children, hydrogenated oils contribute to heart disease, and many have allergies to
genetically modified soy or conventional milk products.
What makes this Xocai chocolate different from an organic dark chocolate?
As far as we are aware, this is the only cold-processed chocolate available. This is critical in providing health benefits because all of the beneficial flavonoids are retained. Even a quality organic dark chocolate in the store will have lost 70% of the beneficial nutrients.
What makes this Xocai chocolate unique?
-Cold Processing retains all of the beneficial flavonoids and antioxidants, whereas all regular dark
chocolate loses about 70% in the processing. We don't know of ANY dark chocolate that is cold processed like this chocolate.
-The soy lecithin is non-GMO (non-genetically modified). Most dark chocolate contains soy leci-
thin, of which 89% is GMO. GMO soy is linked to numerous health problems.
-The chocolate is screened for contaminants, including lead. Regular chocolate is a high source
of lead contamination.
-The chocolate is fair-trade.
- Along with the cold processing, additional acai berry and blueberry make this the highest
flavonoid-rich chocolate available. High flavonoid diets prevent numerous health risks, including cancer, heart disease.
Doctors Speak on Chocolate:
A study in the Journal of Cardiovascular Pharmacology showed an increase of blood flow to the brain with flavonoid rich cocoa. Two studies in the Journal of the American Medical Association showed improvement in blood flow and reduction in blood pressure with small
amounts of dark chocolate daily. Dark chocolate increases nitric oxide production which relaxes arteries and lowers blood pressure.
"I just had a piece of chocolate. Dark chocolate. It was delicious. I have a
little chocolate almost every day. Now, you may be wondering if I'm cheating on my very own diet. Well, no, I'm not. I'm enjoying my very own diet." Dr. Ornish, MD, cardiologist, from the first page of "The Spectrum", his latest book on reversing heart disease, breast cancer, and prostate cancer.
"Don't go for the milk chocolate... you need dark chocolate with 70% or more pure cocoa to reap the benefits of flavonoids. Flavonoids are these really powerful, vitamin-like substances that when you eat them, guess what they do? They dilate the arteries...We actually have data they may be beneficial to the heart. So a little bit of dark chocolate is a wonderful dessert." Dr. Mehmet Oz, author of “You: The Ownersʼ Manual”
