• Cocoa and chocolate come from the seed of the cacao plant, which contains a number of compounds that benefit your health, including epicatechin and resveratrol
• I provide a video on how to make healthy homemade chocolate with no sugar that allows you to benefit from all of chocolate’s many benefits while avoiding the toxic additives of most all commercial chocolate.
• Dr. Beatrice Golomb discusses the health benefits of chocolate, including how to identify a high-quality chocolate and how to determine your optimal chocolate “dose”
• Polyphenols in cacao can help protect your heart by preventing the adverse effects of nitric oxide (NO) production and helping to counter your age-related decline in NO production
• When selecting chocolate, choose one that is high in cacao/cocoa, low in sugar, organic, free of additives, and whose only fat is cocoa butter, which is the type of fat naturally found in cacao beans
