The raw facts on cacao...

Cacao is one of the most magnesium-rich western foods...and it’s great brain and heart food...Cacao is also number one in the world in antioxidants of any major fruit or nut. It contains 10 times the antioxidant level of blueberries, 20 times what red wine has, 30 times what green tea has. Furthermore, cacao contains zero caffeine. Instead, what is present is theobromine, which is the sister molecule to caffeine and is better than any asthma medication, is a bronchial dilator and circulatory system dilator.

Cacao is lastly a brilliant weight loss food. It gives the body ample energy. Five or six cacao beans can keep a person going for a couple of hours.
