Why Is Raw Cacao So Amazing?
All chocolate begins as raw cacao. The cacao bean comes from the fruit of the cacao plant, which grows in tropical jungle regions. When raw cacao is processed to make chocolate, it undergoes exposure to extreme heat, which destroys most of the heat-sensitive nutrients. When cacao is kept in its raw state, it is the most nutritionally potent food on the planet. It contains:
- More antioxidants than any known food (including pomegranates, red wine, blueberries and green tea). The antioxidants in raw cacao are highly stable and easily metabolized. NOTE: Studies indicate that dairy products specifically block the absorption of all the great antioxidants in cacao.
- MAGNESIUM. (The highest source of magnesium of any known food) Magnesium balances brain chemistry, builds strong bones (by balancing calcium levels), and is associated with more happiness. Magnesium is one of the major minerals in the Standard American Diet (SAD) that people are deficient in; over 80 percent of Americans are chronically deficient in Magnesium.
- SULFUR. Known as the beauty mineral, sulfur builds strong nails, hair, beautiful, shiny skin, detoxifies the liver, and supports healthy pancreas functioning. Anecdotal reports indicate that cacao detoxifies mercury because of its high sulfur content.
- MAO Inhibitors. Cacao seems to diminish appetite, probably due to its monoamine oxidase enzyme inhibitors. These rare MAO inhibitors facilitate enhancing and rejuvenation.
- Phenylethylamine (PEA). PEA is an adrenal-related chemical that is also created within the brain and released when we are in love. This is one of the reasons why love and chocolate have a deep correlation. PEA also plays a role in increasing focus and alertness.
- Anandamide (The Bliss Chemical). Produced naturally in the brain, this neurotransmitter has been isolated in cacao. Anandamide is known as “The Bliss Chemical” because it is released while we are feeling great. Cacao contains enzyme inhibitors that decrease our bodies’ ability to breakdown anandamide. This means that natural anandamide and/or cacao anandamide may stick around longer when we eat cacao.
- Theobromine, a relative of caffeine, which has a relaxing effect on the smooth muscle groups, deepens breathing, and produces a subtle, clear sense of emotional well-being. Also, theobromine has been found to destroy 102 types of bacteria!
- Surprisingly high amounts of vitamin C, higher than any other nut or seed, by far. There is no vitamin C in processed chocolate.
Simply put, raw cacao is the most nutrient dense and chemically complex food known to man.
