Raw Cacao Powder

Nutritional Benefits:
* Cornell University 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 a 15-person study. The University of L'Aquila of L'Aquila team also found the body's ability to metabolize sugar, a problem for people with diabetes, was improved. The effect was believed to be due to antioxidant levels; with Raw Cacao Powder we can likely multiply this effect.

* Dutch researchers indicate that dark chocolate contains four times the amount of cachetin antioxidants than black tea; which is suspected of having a protective effect against heart disease and possibly cancer due to its antioxidant properties. With raw cacao powder, it would be 28 times more than black tea and potentially 7 times the protection!

* In trials, doctors at Harvard University 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 pro bodybuilders to help increase muscularity.) Again, with raw cacao powder, this effect could easily be multiplied.

In Raw Cacao Powder, much of the oil is removed, while nearly all of the active nutrients remain. For example...

*The amino acid Tryptophan is found naturally in cacao. Tryptophan enhances relaxation and promotes better sleep. Now you'll get at least 33% more when you use Raw Cacao Powder!

*Researchers have discovered that phenylethylamine (PEA) has a positive effect in enhancing feelings of love. 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.

Now you can eat pure raw cacao chocolate and share in these amazing benefits!
