Some Amazing Facts About

The Nutrition and Health Benefits of Raw Cacao

-

There is a whopping 955 ORAC Units found in each gram of raw Sunfood Nutrition organic Cacao Powder, with 367% more antixodants in raw cacao as compared to the very best cooked version. In fact, pure dark chocolate (which, to most researchers, is the benchmark of healthy chocolate) contains about 132 ORAC units per gram, so based on the statistics explained on David Wolfe’s Sunfood Nutrition site, raw cacao may actually have approximately 723% (7 times) the antioxidant power as cooked cocoa!

Some research findings on cooked cacao (bear in mind it may be seven times higher for raw cacao):

-
* Cornell University food scientists say that cocoa has nearly twice the antioxidants of red wine and up to three times those found in green tea. With Raw Cacao Powder, it would be 14 times more than Red Wine and 21 times more than Green Tea!

-
* Italian researchers found eating 100 grams of dark chocolate each day for 15 days lowered blood pressure in the 15-person study. The University of L’Aquila team also found the body’s ability to metabolize sugar — a problem for people with diabetes — was improved. Because the effect was believed to be due to Antioxidant levels, with Raw Cacao Powder we can likely multiply this effect.

-
* Doctor Gabriel Cousens’ clinical research (which David Wolfe took part in) has demonstrated that eating cacao and cacao products (chocolate powder) are safe and healthy and can actually help to improve some blood sugar disorders. According to Dr. Cousens:
-
Cacao polyphenols have been scientifically shown to:

• 1. Lower blood pressure
• 2. Lower vascular cell adhesion
• 3. Increase circulating Nitric Oxide
• 4. Decrease platelet aggregation
• 5. Decrease rates of death from cardiac mortality and all mortality in general
• 6. Improve insulin sensitivity
• 7. Decrease fasting insulin
• 8. Increase blood flow to the brain
• 9. Inhibit plasma lipid oxidation
• 10. Decrease chronic inflammation in the body and cardio-vascular system in general.”

-
* Dutch researchers indicate that dark chocolate contains four times the amount of catechin antioxidants than black tea. With Raw Cacao Powder, it would be 28 times more than Black Tea and potentially 7 times the protection!

-
* In trials, doctors at Harvard found that Antioxidant compounds called Flavonols in chocolate help the body to produce Nitric Oxide, a compound essential for proper heart function. (Nitric oxide is also believed by some bodybuilders to help increase muscularity). Again, with Raw Cacao Powder, this effect could easily be multiplied.–

You get the point. Just remember this figure of roughly 723% (or 7 times) when you read about the health benefits of dark chocolate — because that’s how much MORE Antioxidant activity Sunfood Nutrition’s™ Raw Cacao Powder has.

-
* Did you know the amino acid Tryptophan is found naturally in cacao? Tryptophan enhances relaxation and promotes better sleep. You’ll get at least 33% more tryptophan when you use Raw Cacao Powder!

-
* Researchers have discovered that phenylethylamine (PEA) has a positive effect in enhancing feelings of falling in LOVE! And Chocolate has been proven to be an excellent source of PEA. Now you can love at least 33% more with Raw Cacao Powder!

-
* Cacao is the richest food source of magnesium of any common food. Magnesium is the number one mineral that assists and supports healthy heart functioning. Now you get at least 33% more magnesium gram-per-gram with Raw Cacao Powder!

-
* Raw Cacao Powder has at least 33% more Arginine, the aphrodisiac-like amino acid believed by body builders to build muscle and aid in recovery.
-

Here are just a few ideas for using your Raw Cacao Powder. You can… –

* Add it to your favorite smoothies-elixir (one heaping tablespoon will do) and watch them instantly become Raw Chocolate masterpieces!
* You can blend it with Virgin Coconut Oil and Agave — for instant Raw Chocolate Syrup! (Then put this on top of raw ice cream or fresh fruit —AMAZING!)
* You can blend it in a food processor with raw nut butters and agave nectar, for the most delicious dessert you’ve ever had.
* You can make any cookie, brownie or pie INSTANTLY more chocolaty and delicious — just add a level tablespoon or more to taste.
* You can blend it with almond milk or hemp milk. This gives you a creamy dark chocolate milk that’s LOADED with antioxidant power and tastes out of this world!
* Blend some cacao powder directly into your favorite herbal tea and make your tea into an alchemical warm chocolate beverage!
* And so much more!
