IMPORTANT info on your favourite food

Most people thing of chocolate as a treat or a 'naughty food' because it is mostly full of sugar and milk and after it has been so processed any of the anti-oxidants have been boiled, chopped, crushed, heated, roasted and whipped away.
BUT the raw ingredients of cacao are our best known source of magnesium and anti-oxidents on the planet (30 times higher anti-oxidents levels than found in green tea). Raw cacao also has more than 300 known phytochemicals including tryptophan (seratonin builder and anti-depressant).
Just to clarify:
Cocoa is a processed subastance used to make
'normal' chocolate.
Cacao is the beans pod - seed of the fruit from the cacao tree.
Coco - is from coconut.
Coca - is the leaf of the plant from which cocaine is derived.
Kola- is the nut used to flavour soft drinks.

Cacao is the most nutrient dense and complex food known to man. Eat some now!
