I think thinks probably the best presented video I’ve ever watched on RUclips. What a fantastic presenter, amazing informative content that is laymen can understand at the right pace and no waffle. Just awesome, can’t wait to check out more of this presenters video!!
@@outofthedoldrumsyes Cocoa is really healthy, unfortunately chocolate has lot's of heavy metals such as lead, and cadmium making it something not good for you
Yes I also enjoy the format. Excellent vid. and channel that I have only just now discovered. I know I will be watching many more. I’m so excited to learn more, cheers from Australia.
Dr Van Dyken, many thanks for that comprehensive video. We are working on the relationship of cacao nibs quality with the duration of fermentation. Your video is so helpful to us.
Hi Dr Van Dyken! I just joined your channel. Thanks for the ton of information and enlightening me on the whole topic of Nitric Oxide. Before you I was in the dark on this topic. Thanks again! R
I had van internal bleeding from blood thinner. Oct 1,2024 I was admitted to the hospital with my blood pressure being 211/109.., on the 16th of October I started eating dark chocolate 85% cacao . By October 20 my blood pressure is 209/70 🥳also no getting up in the middle of the night to pee.🎉
Dr. Irminne, I've been consuming cocoa powder, the type before roasted, that means, it's the 1st powder, it is light brown, also acid plus bitter, 3 times per week, 2 dessertspoons, and although I have no disease, afther watching your video I'll be observing myself, thanks.
Dr. Van Dyken you are awesome thank you soooo much! I'm adding cocoa powder to my coffee, which I've also recently begun to supercharge with herbs/spices! I'm using turmeric and and tiny bit of black pepper, cinnamon, ginger, also a teeny bit of clove and cayenne... and I like it a little sweet so I add a bit of stevia (whole ground leaf). Sometimes I lighten it up with a nut or oat beverage. --- I also will just eat a 1/4 teaspoon or so along with some banana or date -and nuts. I think of it as making a candy bar in my mouth. 🤣I love that cocoa powder is such a tasty and inexpensive way to boost nitric oxide!! 💪💚
@@toughlife3084 Ok friend, I'll try the nibs one day. 😋 At 15:14 Dr. Van Dyken states "When we talk about epicatechin and catechin content in cacao and cocoa products, the highest levels are found in nibs, then cocoa powder..." So that's good enough for me for now. ✌&🌱
I really love this channel! Dr Van Dyken, thank you so much for all that you do. You provide us with valuable, cutting edge information. I first heard about how to increase nitric oxide from your channel. Similarly, I first heard about urolithin A here. And this video on cacao is the best I've seen. By the way, I recently discovered that a cocoa plus turmeric drink doesn't taste bad! Two of my favourites in one drink! My only very mild criticism is that, like most doctors, you focus more on discouraging saturated fat consumption, rather than on sugar (especially fructose) and most polyunsaturated oils (seed oils high in omega-6 linoleic acid) as the major culprits in inflammation. And it's a bit ironic because cacao is one of very few plant foods that's actually high in saturated fats.
Thank you very much. Mam. You help. Alot of. People. Eith your. Informative. Videos.... EVEN YOUR. NOT A DICTOR.. YOU MAKE US LESSENED OUR PAINS AND OTHER ISSUES. HEALTH. I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS.

So thankful I watched this awesome presentation on cocoa....thank you so much. From now on my chocolate drink of choice....always 100% cocoa in hot water...no sugar. And treats of at least 70% dark chocolate bars.
Thanks for this video I was going to buy a chocolate that had alkali and realized it wouldn’t be good for me and I LOVE how you discussed about the harmful chemicals in some
You are cute, great n smart... Thanks for the information on Cacao benefit.... Just this week i start drinking Cacao Twice a day without sugar. Sometimes, i mix it with matcha green tea. The result is great especially in bllod circulation. I am from Indonesia... Love your content.... Accurate n awesome...
Dr. Van Dyken, thank you so much for your videos! Loving the videos on NO and dealing with hypertension. Now, I am trying to include cacao as well. You mentioned the suggestion/recommendation of CocoaVia's CardioHealth as a Cacao without cadmium. I appreciate that. After starting to include this cacao power into my routine, I noticed the ingredience includes cocao processed with alkali. I've searched that alkali meaned dutched processing. I've seen other videos from another YT influencer, who is a heart doctor by training, says this process removes all the helpful polyphenols. For now, I think 90% dark chocolate is better than nothing, but I am confused how/if dutch processing matters.
Cacao is the purest form and is made by cold pressing. Once heat is used to roast it is turned into cocoa and heat destroys almost all of the antioxidants. If it's dutch processed then it's regular cocoa with basically no health benefits, but tastes better for baking.
Thank you for this information! The Chocolate industry need to be regulated like tobacco. I have seen the consumer Lab test and others on dark chocolate bar's lead and cadmium content.😢😮 From now on only one brand I will buy and import and pay 4 times more! A bad joke 💩
Many thanks. Excellent video on the superfood cacao. This is one of the best videos I've seen on cacao. Very detailed with some information I did not know about raw cacao. I've been using raw organic cacao for almost 18 months. And it's been amazing. Cacao has stopped my love of coffee for good. I don't even miss drinking coffee. I think more people need to know about this powerful superfood. I've subscribed to your RUclips channel. Once again many thanks for an excellent video. I will share it with friends.
Hello if you are sensitive to caffeine please approach this with caution and baby small doses sincerely I had a not so good experience with this you may not and I’m not here to scare you but to bring awareness because when I was looking for reviews I seen mostly positive which is great for those people for me not so much I had racing heart beat, sleep was messed up, I took it early too like 11am early the next 2-3 days I had horrible anxiety, crying all kinds of weird shit I’m not telling you not to try it you may can try it in moderation and be fine idk I just know if you already have anxiety and have an issue at all with caffeine just tread lightly, wisely or not at all I hope this helps and kuddos to those who have no side effects from it. ❤
I'm consuming 30 to 40 oz of hot cocoa per day (raw cocoa and a little honey in milk) Is that sufficient to produced the benefits you are talking about?
Thank you for your work! Can you please suggest a brand of cacao nibs available on Amazon that is low in cadmium? I tried to check this out, but I found conflicting information. With your expertise you could resolve which conflicting claims are more likely correcte. Thanks again.
I’ve heard that fermented Hake fish oil, which may be the same as cod liver oil, can decalcify the pineal gland. I use this because I’m allergic to chocolate. I also use nattokinase. Love chocolate though. It’s second to the fermented hake fish oil in effectiveness. I had heard this on Ted X.
I've discovered 85% chocolate to be the perfect amount of flavor and bitterness while still having all the benefits like higher fiber, protein, and very low sugar. I tried 90% but the flavor was too dark with almost no added benefits to 85%.
There's very little benefit to dark chocolate if there was heat used in making it. Heat destroys almost all of cacaos antioxidants, turning it into cocoa.
I’m substituting coffee for cacao drink in the morning. I’m using organic %100 cocao about 2 tablespoons of powder everyday. Should I be worried about heavy metals if I’m a healthy adult?
I have a bag of cacao nibs from Whole Foods. It’s organic and says “no added sugars,” and “no additives.” It’s from Peru. It’s brand is “Natierra: superfoods with soul.” it’s fat content is 15grams of fat per 3 tablespoons serving and out of that there’s 9 grams of saturated fat. Should I be concerned?
I found a Whole Cacao dark chocolate bar at Whole Foods. Looks to be made by Blue Stripes Urban Cacao. Says it’s made with the entire cacao pod. Only down side is the 6g of added sugars but that looks to be “cacao sugar” and “coconut sugar.”
Thanks for the very informative video Just one question, I hear that cacao is very high in fats and particularly saturated fat. What's it's effect on ldl-c please?
That's old thinking! Fats are safe as long as they are animal fats or olive oils MCT oils even butter is safe a animal derived fat! Stay away from seed oils! The fats and oils only become a problem when the sugars or processed foods and added chemicals are added. ✌
Take one table spoon of cacao one table spoon sugar pour hemp milk and a little goats milkix it together,a tasty healthy drink every morning,don't stress about the sugar get a hold of yourself
I have a heaping tablespoon of 100% caco baking chocolate powder in my morning coffee . Is that enough or should i have a couple of squares of dark choclate bar in the afternoon as well?
It seems the US is lagging behind the EU on many front regarding chemical regulation. Not sure why. Perhaps the public in the EU is more educated on some of these issues. Think here in Australia we all also lagging behind the EU. Peace all, good health to you

Using cacao twice daily, my blood pressure is down and I feel great. Thanks for your informative video.👍🏾
Cacao is super high in potassium, good for blood pressure (unless you are on a potassium medication then it's on the "food to avoid" list.)
