    I suffered severe anemia up to the point that my doctor advised me to undergo blood transfusion. But I refused. Thanks to pure cacao tablea bcoz it saved my life without undergoing blood transfusion. I used to drink pure cacao tablea and it dramatically helped me to get rid of my anemia.😍

    I have been doing keto. Prior to this I only found milk chocolate paletable and didn't like dark. I let my body and taste buds adjust for 1 month on keto with no milk chocolate no sugar etc. Then I tried 90% dark chocolate from lindt. The endorphin hit from just 1 square was phenomenal. It also doesnt taste bitter to me now, and I can taste the small amount of sugar in it. It actually melts really nice and is so satisfying, i feel like I would choose it over milk chocolate every time now. Tge flavour of chocolate is so intense and I think I crave this. Im also anemic and like it just before my period.
    I think there are 2 types of ppl who say they love chocolate. 1 is the type who actually just like sugar and say they like chocolate. 2 is what I and others are, we crave the Flavour of the chocolate and our bodies want the minerals from it, this is why we can overindulgence in milk chocolate because we sense a small amount but with dark we get more satisfaction and can stop with a smaller portion.

      I have an awesome solution man. If you like hot chocolate 🍫 you will absolutely thank me for this and it is very addictive in a good way. Get the highest percentage you could possibly find. I suggest you go to your local chocolate store. Most of the time they have fresh raw squares, goooood stuff. Get a couple of jugs of whole vitamin D milk 🥛, it’s going to be that delicious. Get some pure honey, make sure it pure and not fake. Food Lion pure honey is real, I actually tested the hell out of it. Get a GLASS measuring cup, no BPA plastic crap. Fill it to your desired amount with milk and put it in the microwave. Better yet get yourself an electric pot, they are awesome. Drop about 2 to 4 squares in hot milk and add honey to sweeten it up. So many benefits in honey. Stir it all up and enjoy. The flavor will knock your socks off and your girl will surely salute you in the bedroom, because it will stand up nice and tall. Everything is consumed in moderation, but this tonic ain’t no joke.

    If you must eat chocolate then dark chocolate is fine but when you consider the amount of fat sugar and calories in it for the amount of nutrients you get from it - infact it’s all most a junk food - fruit and veg provides more nutrients without all the excess calories and fat eg a small bowl of grapes provides a lot more resveratrol than a bar of dark chocolate .
    Another thing about dark chocolate with high cocoa content is that some can contain high amounts of cadmium and lead so be careful which one you buy and the quantities you consume - so is it really that healthy for us ? Might as well have a glass of red wine . Also a lot of chocolate manufacturers use Dutch processing to make there dark chocolate more smoother but this process removes a lot of the nutritional benefit as well so again look out for that.
    infact I don’t personally find eating dark chocolate that enjoyable as I find it too bitter compared to milk and I think the potential risks and calories outweighs the benefits .

    yea too bad kids love white chocolate and only later in life they start liking dark chocolate. Dark chocolate should be promoted more as most snacks, sweets, cookies and biscuits have milk chocolate or white chocolate and rarely dark chocolate.
