I think the catch is for chocolate that isn't dark chocolate

It doesn't require a prescription!

You can't PATENT it so drug companies will seek to imitate it, if it is found to be useful.

Aren't the calories from the SUGAR and not the Coco?

No sugar. That basically destroys the effect along with high temps in processing.

There is a new product coming out that addresses these concerns. One of which is the taste. It uses stevia, a natural sweetener with no impact on blood sugar so diabetics ought to love this stuff.

Sugar lobby kept it out of the US for decades. 200 times sweeter than sugar and it is all natural.

CacaoTech is the name of the cacao product but they do not have a website yet. Production starts this coming month.

100% of people who have used cocoa, have eventually died.

I'm sure a study will come out in the future that refutes this study or that cocoa is bad for some other part of the body.

This is killing me. I already take an aspirin a day, a glass of wine, a beer, an apple and several things that are supposed to be good for me and now I have to drink cocoa too?

Flavanols are all well & good, but you need fats to work with them.

The flavanols dilate the arteries, and the fats lubricate the corpuscles, so they slide through easier.

Always make your hot chocolate with either table cream or half & half, and add a pat of butter, and don't forget to float the whipped cream on top.

Forget the marshmallows; they'll kill you.

Cocoa is great, but even better with marshmallows.

Don't forget a banana a day. Maybe frozen dipped in chocolate?
