We’ve got a neighbor who eats 100% cacao chocolate. I prefer 70%-80% range, can tolerate 90%. Chocolate, especially dark chocolate, is rich in flavonoids, which are compounds that can support heart health and improve circulation. It also contains caffeine and magnesium, which can enhance mental acuity and energy levels.
I take CocoaVia 750 mg Ultra Cocoa Flavanol supplements which are rich in cocoa flavanols, especially (-)-epicatechin. No sugar, fat, or calories found in chocolate.
Chocolate is definitely a superfood. It’s the added sugar that’s the metabolic killer. I only use natural sweeteners that do not affect blood sugar. My favorite are Stevia and Monkfruit.
