Health Effects of Chocolate $64.36 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles Health effects of chocolate include both positive and negative effects. While chocolate is regularly eaten for pleasure, there are potential beneficial health effects of eating chocolate. Cocoa or dark chocolate benefits the circulatory system. Other beneficial effects suggested include anticancer, brain stimulator, cough preventor and antidiarrhoeal effects. An aphrodisiac effect is yet unproven. On the other hand, the unconstrained consumption of large quantities of any energy-rich food such as chocolate is thought to increase the risk of obesity without a corresponding increase in activity. Raw chocolate is high in cocoa butter, a fat which is removed during chocolate refining, then added back in in varying proportions during the manufacturing process. Manufacturers may add other fats, sugars, and milk as well, all of which increase the caloric content of chocolate. There is concern of mild lead poisoning for some types of chocolate. Chocolate is toxic to many animals because of insufficient capacity to metabolize theobromine. |

Lemon Berry Rose Bar $8.5 Ingredients are 100% Organic and 100% RawCacao Beans, Cacao Butter, Dried Strawberries, Goji Berries, Black Currants, Cherries, Almonds, Cashews, Agave Nectar, Freeze-Dried Strawberries, Rose Hips, Rose Petals, Camu Camu Berry, Passion Flower, Lemon Zest, Vanilla Bean, Crystal Manna, Lemon Essential Oil, Rose Essential Oil,Love.The Lemon Berry Rose Bar introduces an entirely new combination of ingredients to the world of raw chocolate, destined to become a superfood favorite. With a wide array of ingredients contributing the immunity-supportive power of Vitamin C, plus the inherent antioxidant and mineral-rich properties of raw dark chocolate (cacao), this bar offers healing potential exceeded only by its singular berry-scented taste. Vitamin C has been studied for the incredible support it offers to the immune system, and it has traditionally been known that one of the best ways to ward off infections is to take a wide variety of foods rich in Vitamin C. The Lemon Berry Rose Bar offers Vitamin C in Camu-Camu Berry (the most potent source of this vital nutrient on the plant), rose petals, rose hips, and lemon. Vitamin C has also been linked to relieving depression, as described in Depression-Free for Life by Gabriel Cousens, M.D. It is clear that maintaining a strong immune system is closely tied to a positive outlook on life.Plant sources of Iron are best absorbed in the presence of Vitamin C, as discussed in the book Eating for Beauty by David Wolfe. The Lemon Berry Rose Bar supplies high amounts of iron from raw, organic cacao beans, Camu-Camu berry, cherries (one of the top alkalinizing fruits), and cashews. Iron is essential for proper oxygenation of the blood, which, in combination with high levels of Vitamin C, represents an efficient pathway leading to enhanced immunity. Yet the power of this combination rests with the taste of the foods contributing these healing elements. The Lemon Berry Bar combines the floral aroma of roses with a tangy sweetness offered |

While cayenne and red pepper flakes increase metabolism and help to open the heart and warm you up during these winter months, blue-green algae helps to increase brain function and improve the mood while contributing Phenethylamine (PEA), which works in concert with the same element in raw cacao. Dried cranberries and currants round out this fiery recipe, adding extra benefits for digestion and cleansing. This bar is truly in a class by itself. This is cacao prepared according to tradition, yet served in an entirely new form. Enjoy!

What if there were a convenient way to get an abundant dose of protection from free radicals that was also delicious and offered additional benefits to our mental focus and concentration? The Pomegranate A??ai Bar combines the profound antioxidant protection of A??ai and pomegranate with the newly recognized therapeutic qualities of raw, dark chocolate. Cacao, a??ai, and pomegranates have been revered for generations for their healing properties, yet only in modern times have antioxidants been revealed as the key to their restorative, youthening actions.Organic, raw dark chocolate (cacao) is high in Phenethylamine (PEA), which helps to increase our focus and heighten our ability to stay alert.

With these essential brain-supportive attributes, plus potent antioxidants of its own, raw cacao neatly complements blueberries and pomegranates in nutritional power. Even more promising, every fruit used in the Pomegranate A??ai Bar is richly colored, a characteristic shared by antioxidant-rich foods which is discussed at greater length in The Sunfood Diet Success System by David Wolfe.
