This is the second time I-ve seen cocoa extolled with no mention of the more flavenal rich cacao

Exactly. I take a morning “potion” of 3.2g cacoa powder, 3g matcha, 2g beetroot powder, .5g each ginger and turmeric, .3g NAC, and .5g acteyl l-carnatine. I used to take 2g turmeric, but it caused nosebleeds. I also usually enjoy 12-25g 85% dark chocolate.

I do a tablespoon of Hersheys Cacao powder with one square of 86% dark chocolate in a mug of coffee. Cocoa has Theobromine which helps relax the arteries and lowers blood pressure.

Also, if your CRP level is high,(over 5), try CBD. It lowered my CRP 11 points in two weeks when medicine didn’t do squat.

I generally have a small piece of 90% coco dark chocolate after lunch.
