Excellent report - I am an agent orange exposed two terminal cancer patient just turned 80. I have been eating chocolate twice weekly from a variety of brands in cacao ranging from 72 to 95%. From the Consumer Reports finding of high cadmium and lead in many brands I switched to exclusively consuming the brands TAZA 95% cacao & only 2% sugar per serving and Ghirardelli 92% cacao & also 2% sugar per serving. I began consuming twice weekly chocolate in late 2019 after getting off dialysis after 7.5 months. At that time I was taking three blood pressure meds and for the last 4 months I have not had the need to take any after a tapering off for several years. BP not perfect but I no longer suffer light-headedness, shortness of breath and chronic coughing since eliminating and finally getting off BP meds. My community of Docs are beginning to seriously ask me what I am doing to be maintaining such a high level of function and well ... "Health". Chocolate may be a piece of the metabolic puzzle I am working on.
I'm replying in the hopes viewers will READ the article (on RUclips, here, or at its published site), because, while the Moss's are awesome, this report is instead, saying dark chocolate users (IG1 group) had a "lower" (Glutathione / GSH / antioxidant) level, and a "higher" peroxidation (oxidation), and IL-6 (inflammatory cytokine) level (which generally increase (but not always assist cancer growth, etc.)(according to Pubmed studies), vs. over the control and/or the white chocolate (IG2) groups. How the Moss's made this error is puzzling. In contrast, however, was my own experimentation by eating a large portion of dark chocolate (unknown cocoa% (for effect), to treat my systemic arthritic condition, which subsided greatly within an hour of taking it (three times in a row now and for many, many hours), so if the quality of life improves because our brain's serotonin and other brain chemicals improve, along with perhaps improving other inflammatory markers (not showing in this study that I can see in this You Tube video), then I guess terminal patients have everything to gain by taking dark and white chocolate (at least according to this study). Whether healthy people can prevent or treat early cancer (for each type of cancer), requires substantial additional studies and review. God Bless everyone here.
MY WONDERFUL MOM USED TO PUT A SQUARE OF CHOCOLAT WHEN MAKING COFEE AND PEOPLE SAID THAT THR COFFEE TESTED MUCH BETTER WITHOUT KNOWING THAT SHE PUT CHOCOLAT TO MAKE THE COFFEE
I make chocolate at home. I buy cocoa butter from the Health Shop, and also I prepare first sesame seeds, I toast them in a frying pan( only a little) also I toast pepitas , and sunflower seeds. I melt the cocoa butter, mix with warm coconut milk, and add cocoa . a teaspoon of coffee and the sesame seeds, pepitas, sunflowers , almonds powder, dried blackcurrants, dried cranberries, fine desiccated coconut powder, and a bit of honey, mix all together and put in a mould and put it in the fridge. When cold I cut it in pieces, and keep it in the fridge. It is delicious and healthy. You can add pine nuts,,or bits of walnuts.
I make my own dark chocolate and it is delicious!! I simply mix cacao powder plus coconut oil, plus raw honey,plus vanilla extract. Super food and i love it.
My Grandmother lived to be 103 she proved that everything in modern works and what happens when you eat too much ice-cream and chocolate sauce .She gained a bunch of weight decided she didn't like being overweight, quit eating ice cream and lost everything she gained forever. Also she did love her Hershey chocolate bar with almonds . She would eat a small peice ever so often .
Love you guys and your chosen food topics which we've been incorporating into my son's diet plus a few other things. He had an aggressive type of cancer which led to stage 4 however through a combination of chemo and diet his cancers all over his body amazingly had all but disappeared whereas chemo on it's own was failing and they had given up on trying to beat it. We still lost him sadly at age 30 but 3 years of chemo destroyed his platelets and he suffered a massive stroke. I am however a convert as to the power of diet and you two have helped enormously to educate my family when doctors were telling us diet does very little so a big thankyou to you both.
Have been eating Choclate for years. Use cocoa powder, which has no sugar, to make a cup hot chocolate every morning after my morning coffee. Also by the cocoa beans and eat baker chocolate (no sugar). I usually drink decaf coffee and decaf tea to avoid over stimulation from the combination of cocoa, coffee, and tea. Recommend experimenting. I can easily eat 100% dark chocolate or Baker chocolate which has zero sugar. Find your brand and add it to your overall polyphenol intake.
I too take in 72% daily, usually 1-2 squares. It is high in Oxalates. Another thing to consider on eating dark chocolate is that some brands are higher than others in cadmium & lead. There is a website that tested all the major brands. I found in the results that Ghirardelli’s “Intense Dark” 72 was very low in both.
Dr. Becky Gillaspy she broke it down pretty good although she looked at it from a keto thing with spikes in blood sugar it was realy good it suprised me because it seemed the 72percent was better for you then higher coca.
The tests on individual bars of chocolate vary greatly. For Instance, some Ghiradelli bars were low, others were high in toxic metals. The yousowthis test of dozens of brands only tests each bar once, and the ones for Ghiradeli were done in 2014, so could be way off. Also, Ghiradelli uses flavoring agents, soy lecithin, and their vanilla extract comes from the testicles of deer.
I recently came across the discussions between the father and the son. Amazing! So informative, factual, and composed! I wish I had the similar discussions with my parents. Love the podcast and wish it spread across the world
I always do a teaspoon of cocoa nibs with either some almond butter or peanut butter or sunflower butter, this tastes great and I get a nice little rush of energy
I get my cacao from my own field in Kerala.I make my own cacao powder then add it to sauted dates after making it soft by blanching it in hot water.Think this way we can avoid the sugar.also I add some palm jaggery,
I use 1 tsp of 100% coca powder for baking in my coffee every morning. It is more convenient to use than bar chocolate . The powder has had the fat removed. So, I had a tsp of coconut oil to it. I have been doing this for years. I am 72 . I take no medications and have no health issues. I make no claims but I just like it.
I frequently use the raw cacao. Cacao is the natural fruit or nut that coco or chocolate is made from. You can get cacao in dried 'nibs' form. I also use organic 85% chocolate chips made by Pascha
I buy organic unsweetened dark chocolate chips online from a company in California, and add chocolate to my black coffee (and cinnamon) each morning. (This tastes very good, and I am not getting any sugar from it, which I prefer.) I boil water with freshly ground cloves in it and use that in a French press with a light, organic roasted bean. There are more polyphenols, which promote health, in cloves than any other spice or herb. Research consistently shows that adding milk or any dairy to the coffee prevents the absorption of the health-promoting compounds in coffee, like chlorogenic acid--this is why I drink it black.
Thank you both for highlighting the potential health benefits of these wonderful, natural, un-Patent-able, non-Copyright-able, traditional and historically valuable plants (and hopefully 'minerals' in your future reviews). It is no surprise to me that they are rarely funded for study, and the few 'funded studies' that you mention are usually not using the whole, natural, unadulterated plant (with it's hundreds/thousands of organic components - in Mother Nature's quantity ratio) but 'commercial' patented, copyrighted extracts/supplements/branded 'products'. I trust you have Cayenne; Hawthorn; Stingy Nettle; Elderberry; Ginger; Garlic; Algae and other such edible treasures lined up for future review.
I have a lot more than one square per day! I eat four squares per day of 90% cocoa chocolate with only 7g of sugar per 100g. I always eat it after having a meal very high in fibre so blood sugar levels don’t rise much.
Interesting about the connection between chocolate and olive oil. I was taking two tablespoons of very high polyphenol olive oil in warm water every morning for months (partly to manage the constipation from the cancer drugs I take) and my doctor reports I’m now in "deep remission". Can’t be sure it’s from the olive oil rather than the treatment but others have not responded as well as I have,so that’s something.
In the morning I can’t eat breakfast. I have a mug of coffee with a level teaspoon of organic cacao, a pinch of cayenne pepper and a large spoonful of heavy cream. It fills me up until my first meal of the day at about 2/3 pm. It tastes really good.
I sometimes get the high dark chocolate bars....ie; that may be ~76% or more. I prefer the more pure Cacao powder OR Cacao nibs (as opposed to Cocoa) . I actually don't mind the minor bitterness. I bought the fantastic, highly-rated book, Healing Spices, shortly upon release in 2011. That Naturapathic Doctor, who is one of the principal doctors studying natural product at the highly rated MD Anderson Cancer Center in Texas, RAVES about pure dark chocolate in that book. He references a culture in SA that consumes Cacao in VERY high daily amounts that has very little cancer or heart disease..
I‘m Swiss, living in THE Land of Chocolate and I eat 100% Black Chocolate 50g per Day. No Sugar at all. If you stick to the 100% ones the taste is much better than of the dark ones around 80 to 90%. Check it out ❤
The issue in the USA is there is no chocolate purity law like what you have in Switzerland. Most chocolate in the USA has soy lethicin in it, even Lindt.
I mix a spoon of cacao with tumeric powder and a spoon or more of olive oil, pepper and salt, this with boiling water and a dash of milk . Tumeric has been shown to improve outcomes for pre diabetics. The pepper and oil boost the absorption of tumeric, This makes a good fasting breakfast without a big suger spike. Best of all ive got to really enjoy its flavour.
I take zero cacao sugar wafers, melt them in a pot with grass fed butter, ceylon cinnamon, pecans or macadamia nuts, add some green leaf stevia, then put it in the freezer to make my own chocolate bars, for my wives chocolate bar I add blueberries.
Organic home grown Cacao from Ecuador grind one to two tablespoon(s) in small amount of heated water to dissolve, then add coconut milk (8-10 oz) continue heating top it off with cinnamon or cayenne pepper (spicy with bitter cacao taste). Vitamin C complex is more than just ascorbic acid. Vit. C has P factor J factor and K factor. The P factor is rutin and bioflavinoids.
As a discussion on chocolate and cancer, how could you leave out ACRYLAMIDE? Recent studies have found very high levels of acrylamide in cocoa, due to the drying process (length and temperatures involved). Surely this should would have been very relevant to this discussion. PS: glad you mentioned heavy metals, it is annoying this (or even country of origin) are not mandatory information listed on products.
I prepare a cup of filtered organic coffee, then add one level teaspoon each of organic pure cacao powder and organic matcha green tea powder each morning. The taste is a bit strong but I gradually got used to it and love the idea of having all the healthy benefits of these antioxydants in one shot first thing in the morning.
I eat about 3 oz of dark chocolate per day a) because I like it and b) because i have read many glowing reports of its health benefits. I'm 85 and very fit and healthy, so it seems to work. Of course I do many other things to promote good health, so I cant give all the credit to chocolate, but chocolate is OK as part of a healthy, balanced diet. I also take plenty of exercise.
It is really great to add sources to the best quality chocolates ..or any other product you discuss. To help us consume high quality medically proven effective brands
Lots of people aren't eating enough good fats. I buy theobromine powder and add a carefully small amount to my green tea. Pinch of bitter chocolate in the coffee.
Thank you. You are teaching me to eat better. I feel when people are on an island, they’re exposed to less foods that are industrialized. Like the Blue Zone countries. I am from the Republic of Palau and I worry because the Western diet has reached us. This information is so vital to all the world. Thank you. God bless you both. 🙏🏼❤️
My husband (with Parkinson's) and I toast and grind raw cocoa beans that we source locally here in Mexico, and add a teaspoonful to our fruit smoothies every day. Oddly it's quite tasty, not bitter. I wonder if there are particular benefits to consuming the bean as opposed to chocolate bars. Also, would the Mexican bean have more or less cadmium and lead?
Thank you for this report. It encourages me to continue to eat a small portion of 71% cholate from Aldi's. I especially appreciate the fact that for several years now I have been able to eat chocolate again. For some years in the past, I got migraine headaches after eating chocolate (Hershey bars for example), changed my diet, supplements, etc. and kept testing each Christmas with a chocolate chip. If an aura appearred, no more chocolate for anothr year. But about 4 years ago, no aura, so ate another, and gratefully, I now can enjoy a favorite food again...in moderation!!. I am 85 and grateful for life and thankful for Dr. Moss and his reports over the years. Our family has dealt with cancer and Dr.Moss's reports have been helpful. Thank You.
Thank you for sharing this info. I can eat chocolate, but Hershey chocolate makes me feel awful. I’ve noticed that my body responds differently to different sugars and chocolates. For example, I can no longer eat Snickers bars, but I can consume a small, chocolate McDonald’s milkshake once a week. Even small amounts of caffeine elevate my blood pressure.
❤🙏Good morning everyone there is no more health for the body than peace being humble with little what is it we think that having everything makes you feel good on the contrary having a busy brain and nutrition ❤️ live
Love your video’s, you guy are the best. I love the bantering back and forth.it’s really educating people about your body and what to eat and what no to and it health effects. God bless both of you..I’ll been battling prostate cancer for over 15 years. Still hanging in there.
It depends on what chocolate you are eating. If it is cooked as in commercially made chocolate, it is useless, nutritionally. Raw powder with coconut oil makes a good chocolate. All antioxidants are good for cancer, raw foods are very important and also fasting helps kill cancer.
Wait, regarding chocolate consumption, smoking, and cancer is that saying dark chocolate protects against cancer? I read about a French woman who was asked about her secret to longevity after reaching 100 and she attributed it to riding her bicycle every day, eating dark chocolate every day, and smoking every day. I'm not suggesting we tell people to go buy cigarettes but maybe she inadvertently protected herself with dark chocolate and exercise?
@@TheMossReport For lunch, she’d have rich foods like braised beef or duck, according to the book Jeanne Calment, the Secret of Longevity Unravelled. She regularly smoked cigarettes and drank port wine daily. Until she was 119 years old, she ate about two pounds of chocolate per week. When she could, she’d cover her meals in olive oil, attributing her health to an abundance of it, inside and out. She was still eating sweets and drinking cheap red wine until her death in 1997 and had only quit smoking at the age of 117.
My grandma lived to 102 years old, despite Lynch syndrome (multiple cancers) and epilepsy. She lived on a traditional farmers diet - meat, eggs, cheese, fruits, vegetables and plenty of chocolate!
I wouldn't be able to stop at one square, just start to get the best of the beautiful taste from about number 3 onwards, stopping at number one would be a cruel tease😢
I put one square of 90% dark chocolate into my porridge while cooking it, it dissolves easily and makes lovely chocolate porridge, sweetened with honey.
I do similarly and put a bit around one tablespoon of organic powdered cacao in my one large (16 ounce)cup of coffee along with a bit more than a tablespoon of honey and about 2 ounces of 2% milk. Does this sound like a good compromise. I also like 70% organic chocolate. You opinions are appreciated.
Excellent report. Thank you. I've been told I have advanced PCa because my PSA is nearly 3,000. I refuse to cooperate with any western trained doctors, I know they have no idea what cancer is, they have no clue about the biology of cancer cells. I am my own doctor, plus I follow yourselves, Prof Thomas Seyfreid, Prof Russel Reiter, Dr Eric Berg, Dr Joe Dispenza, Bruce Lipton, etc. I do low carb ketogenic diet and intermittent fasting. I too take 2 squares of dark chocolate daily.
It's too bad Thomas Seyfried speaks in word salad. Albert Einstein famously said, "If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough."
I EAT DARK CHOCOLATE EVERY DAY 2 SQUARE FOR BREAKFAST AND AFTER DINNER 2 SQUARES 78 PC OR MORE I DO NOT EAT SWEETS AS I DO NOT HAVE A SWEET TOOTH AS WE SAY
Thanks for your lovely, steady, interesting, evidence based information. Only thing I'm disappointed to hear is that I should only eat one square!....😢😆🙄
Well, Dr Moss eats one, and he has a very low sugar intake, and the science says even one square has the benefit, but maybe it’s fine to have a little more 😍
I didn’t know that others were drinking coffee ☕️ as I do since I ditched added sugar. I put cinnamon stick, grate some nutmeg, prekese(what it’s called in Ghana) and sometimes a pinch of rock salt if I’ve already sweated a lot. I’m planning on adding real vanilla extract soon.
I use the cocoa powder or dark chocolate pieces mixed in with coconut flakes after I make coconut milk then blend it together on a low heat (double boiler) and may stick a walnut half in it then put in the fridge. I can have 1 a day without feeling deprived. Try to keep portion at 2 tsp size ball. Not sweet but a way to get the flavonoids in. In the winter I add to coffee but also have the palpitations like described and not crazy about altering flavor of coffee. Love the organic Charleston Roaster dark roast. I grow stevia, occasionally chopped down fresh and put in as well.
About the fact that the dose doesn't seem to make a difference in the chinese study, maybe it's because the cadmium counters the beneficial effect that the higher intake could have. Perhaps Jeanne calment, who was eating 100 to 150g of chocolate per day, was lucky to have stumbled on a chocolate with low cadmium, so she could have more benefits. Perhaps it's the same for those people on that island. Just wondering.

Tumeric has been shown to improve outcomes for pre diabetics.
The pepper and oil boost the absorption of tumeric,
This makes a good fasting
breakfast without a big suger spike.
Best of all ive got to really enjoy its flavour.
Please see our episode on Turmeric, Curcumin & cancer
This is a very good information Thank you
Father and Son Moss.
Blessed
I like this team. Thank you for the info
I take zero cacao sugar wafers, melt them in a pot with grass fed butter, ceylon cinnamon, pecans or macadamia nuts, add some green leaf stevia, then put it in the freezer to make my own chocolate bars, for my wives chocolate bar I add blueberries.
Sounds great!
I make things with cacao and no sugar ..
Organic home grown Cacao from Ecuador grind one to two tablespoon(s) in small amount of heated water to dissolve, then add coconut milk (8-10 oz) continue heating top it off with cinnamon or cayenne pepper (spicy with bitter cacao taste). Vitamin C complex is more than just ascorbic acid. Vit. C has P factor J factor and K factor. The P factor is rutin and bioflavinoids.
As a discussion on chocolate and cancer, how could you leave out ACRYLAMIDE?
Recent studies have found very high levels of acrylamide in cocoa, due to the drying process (length and temperatures involved).
Surely this should would have been very relevant to this discussion.
PS: glad you mentioned heavy metals, it is annoying this (or even country of origin) are not mandatory information listed on products.
And oxalate
I prepare a cup of filtered organic coffee, then add one level teaspoon each of organic pure cacao powder and organic matcha green tea powder each morning. The taste is a bit strong but I gradually got used to it and love the idea of having all the healthy benefits of these antioxydants in one shot first thing in the morning.
What a Blessings. Thank you for all you do.
Excellent episode, short to the point and interesting on the links to cancer.
I eat about 3 oz of dark chocolate per day a) because I like it and b) because i have read many glowing reports of its health benefits. I'm 85 and very fit and healthy, so it seems to work. Of course I do many other things to promote good health, so I cant give all the credit to chocolate, but chocolate is OK as part of a healthy, balanced diet. I also take plenty of exercise.
It is really great to add sources to the best quality chocolates ..or any other product you discuss. To help us consume high quality medically proven effective brands
We link to some in the description. Thanks for watching
Listening all the way from Botswana.Very interesting.My son eats lots of chocos im joining from today..Thanks so much.
Lots of people aren't eating enough good fats. I buy theobromine powder and add a carefully small amount to my green tea. Pinch of bitter chocolate in the coffee.
Thank you. You are teaching me to eat better. I feel when people are on an island, they’re exposed to less foods that are industrialized. Like the Blue Zone countries. I am from the Republic of Palau and I worry because the Western diet has reached us. This information is so vital to all the world. Thank you. God bless you both. 🙏🏼❤️
Try using organic Cocao instead of Cocoa powder😊
In the 80s two guys who go hunting into the bush takes a bar of chocolate with them. They said it gives them energy is this true.
Yes
Cacao butter can be bought now. Still considering how to add this to my diet. Maybe pulsed with berries and nuts.
I make my own sometimes. I use coconut oil, organic cacao, some nuts, dried cranberries and either coconut sugar or monk sugar or a bit of each.
My husband (with Parkinson's) and I toast and grind raw cocoa beans that we source locally here in Mexico, and add a teaspoonful to our fruit smoothies every day. Oddly it's quite tasty, not bitter. I wonder if there are particular benefits to consuming the bean as opposed to chocolate bars. Also, would the Mexican bean have more or less cadmium and lead?
according to studie,s only the West African chocolate is lower in lead & cadmium
Thank you for this report. It encourages me to continue to eat a small portion of 71% cholate from Aldi's. I especially appreciate the fact that for several years now I have been able to eat chocolate again. For some years in the past, I got migraine headaches after eating chocolate (Hershey bars for example), changed my diet, supplements, etc. and kept testing each Christmas with a chocolate chip. If an aura appearred, no more chocolate for anothr year. But about 4 years ago, no aura, so ate another, and gratefully, I now can enjoy a favorite food again...in moderation!!. I am 85 and grateful for life and thankful for Dr. Moss and his reports over the years. Our family has dealt with cancer and Dr.Moss's reports have been helpful. Thank You.
Thank you so much 😊
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you for sharing this info. I can eat chocolate, but Hershey chocolate makes me feel awful. I’ve noticed that my body responds differently to different sugars and chocolates. For example, I can no longer eat Snickers bars, but I can consume a small, chocolate McDonald’s milkshake once a week. Even small amounts of caffeine elevate my blood pressure.
I get JD Gross chocolate from Lidl.
Why eating chocolate instead of drinking chocolate from the same Aldi for 1,59 Euro?
We put cocoa in our coffee. We also add a tablespoon of Ashwaganda, which adds a sweet note that helps level it out.
Dr you are right
my husband dye of heart because of so many treatments quimos, radiation,
and he wasnt ill in his heart before
He had a good heart❤
we are watching the entire video till the end 😊
❤🙏Good morning everyone there is no more health for the body than peace being humble with little what is it we think that having everything makes you feel good on the contrary having a busy brain and nutrition ❤️ live
Would you guys kindly do a report on the cancer and health benefits of coffee please? Eagerly awaiting the new release...!
Oops. I guess you did it 4 years ago :)
ruclips.net/video/Uv2zAVTJtlI/видео.html
We are intending to revisit this topic, stay tuned!
@@TheMossReport HOORAAY! I've been following the work of you two for many years. Love the current Podcast Q&A format!
Very interesting to listen to these knowledgeable gentlemen
Occasionally, I go full Native Azteca... and add red hot chilli peppers.
I loved your video. So interesting!!
Working on 72% right now and it’s been going great
Love your video’s, you guy are the best. I love the bantering back and forth.it’s really educating people about your body and what to eat and what no to and it health effects. God bless both of you..I’ll been battling prostate cancer for over 15 years. Still hanging in there.
It depends on what chocolate you are eating. If it is cooked as in commercially made chocolate, it is useless, nutritionally. Raw powder with coconut oil makes a good chocolate. All antioxidants are good for cancer, raw foods are very important and also fasting helps kill cancer.
Please watch our recent video on fasting. Thanks for watching and your comments.
Wait, regarding chocolate consumption, smoking, and cancer is that saying dark chocolate protects against cancer? I read about a French woman who was asked about her secret to longevity after reaching 100 and she attributed it to riding her bicycle every day, eating dark chocolate every day, and smoking every day. I'm not suggesting we tell people to go buy cigarettes but maybe she inadvertently protected herself with dark chocolate and exercise?
I can’t imagine the cigarettes were healthy
Thanks for information for health benefits dad and father discussion in RUclips.
What's the best chocolate bar
We prefer Ghiradelli but there are some other good ones out there check our description for links and thanks for watching
Dr.thanks,very informative, I love chocolate, but I’ve learned to eat it in moderation 😊
😊 add a bit of coco powder to your coffee , how does it taste 😊
Make your own chocolate: organic cocoa, butter, vanilla, stevia, if you want,some cream and honey. It’s so good and no sugar. Keep in fridge! 😋 yum
Or add pomegranate to make it sweeter!
You can add 1 teaspoon of cocoa to decaffeinated coffee. You can drink decaffeinated green tea.
1 kg of chocolate a week helped a French woman make it to 126 years old.
Are you joking?
@@TheMossReport For lunch, she’d have rich foods like braised beef or duck, according to the book Jeanne Calment, the Secret of Longevity Unravelled. She regularly smoked cigarettes and drank port wine daily. Until she was 119 years old, she ate about two pounds of chocolate per week.
When she could, she’d cover her meals in olive oil, attributing her health to an abundance of it, inside and out. She was still eating sweets and drinking cheap red wine until her death in 1997 and had only quit smoking at the age of 117.
She stopped smoking at 114 and ate lots of chocolate and lived to 122.
My grandma lived to 102 years old, despite Lynch syndrome (multiple cancers) and epilepsy. She lived on a traditional farmers diet - meat, eggs, cheese, fruits, vegetables and plenty of chocolate!
Article on it?
Thank you for another wonderful broadcast, nice to see you both!😊😊
Does your father eat any fruits or berries? Thank you very much!
He does enjoy berries in moderation as they are a fairly low glycemic fruit. Mostly blueberries and raspberries.
@@TheMossReport I do eat berries also . I had some chocolate yesterday! Thank you very much, see you soon Ben !
@@marthab4172 see you in the next episode! Thanks for watching!
Starting my cocoa flavonoids today 😊
I wouldn't be able to stop at one square, just start to get the best of the beautiful taste from about number 3 onwards, stopping at number one would be a cruel tease😢
Thank u again for ur help ❤️
I put one square of 90% dark chocolate into my porridge while cooking it, it dissolves easily and makes lovely chocolate porridge, sweetened with honey.
I do similarly and put a bit around one tablespoon of organic powdered cacao in my one large (16 ounce)cup of coffee along with a bit more than a tablespoon of honey and about 2 ounces of 2% milk. Does this sound like a good compromise. I also like 70% organic chocolate. You opinions are appreciated.
I put a tbsp cacao in my coffee and I can hardly taste it. It's supposed to be very healthy. I don't add it to my second cup.
Hi I have a type 2 diabetes and operated of kidney stones and I use organic powder cacao
Dr Jason Fung , have you looked into him? Nephrologist that uses fasting to get rid of diabetes.
Excellent report. Thank you. I've been told I have advanced PCa because my PSA is nearly 3,000. I refuse to cooperate with any western trained doctors, I know they have no idea what cancer is, they have no clue about the biology of cancer cells. I am my own doctor, plus I follow yourselves, Prof Thomas Seyfreid, Prof Russel Reiter, Dr Eric Berg, Dr Joe Dispenza, Bruce Lipton, etc.
I do low carb ketogenic diet and intermittent fasting. I too take 2 squares of dark chocolate daily.
Thanks for sharing
It's too bad Thomas Seyfried speaks in word salad. Albert Einstein famously said, "If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough."
Ghirardelli 72% has lowest lead and cadmium! Other can be quite high!!
sorry but that is BS. Ghiradelli is as high as the others in lead and cadmium according to other tests. Every test is different.
I EAT DARK CHOCOLATE EVERY DAY 2 SQUARE FOR BREAKFAST AND AFTER DINNER 2 SQUARES 78 PC OR MORE I DO NOT EAT SWEETS AS I DO NOT HAVE A SWEET TOOTH AS WE SAY
Thanks for your lovely, steady, interesting, evidence based information. Only thing I'm disappointed to hear is that I should only eat one square!....😢😆🙄
Well, Dr Moss eats one, and he has a very low sugar intake, and the science says even one square has the benefit, but maybe it’s fine to have a little more 😍
I once heard someone say we must be good to Earth because it's the only planet that has chocolate.
How much better would raw cacao from the Kuna do in these tests? The chocolate Westerners eat is alkanized also called the dutch process.
One study showed benefits without a quality control
Thankyou for the video, im gonna start doing this.
I put a tablespoon of cacao and an eighth of a teaspoon of organic stevia in my coffee. Delicious
Thanks for the video
I didn’t know that others were drinking coffee ☕️ as I do since I ditched added sugar.
I put cinnamon stick, grate some nutmeg, prekese(what it’s called in Ghana) and sometimes a pinch of rock salt if I’ve already sweated a lot.
I’m planning on adding real vanilla extract soon.
Nice talk grand paa ❤
I use the cocoa powder or dark chocolate pieces mixed in with coconut flakes after I make coconut milk then blend it together on a low heat (double boiler) and may stick a walnut half in it then put in the fridge. I can have 1 a day without feeling deprived. Try to keep portion at 2 tsp size ball. Not sweet but a way to get the flavonoids in. In the winter I add to coffee but also have the palpitations like described and not crazy about altering flavor of coffee. Love the organic Charleston Roaster dark roast. I grow stevia, occasionally chopped down fresh and put in as well.
Lindt Dark Chocolate is very nice. But it has caffeine. So one should only have 1 square. Thank you..
and lots of cadmium, lead
This is about the best health news I have ever heard of! And so delicious too!
About the fact that the dose doesn't seem to make a difference in the chinese study, maybe it's because the cadmium counters the beneficial effect that the higher intake could have. Perhaps Jeanne calment, who was eating 100 to 150g of chocolate per day, was lucky to have stumbled on a chocolate with low cadmium, so she could have more benefits. Perhaps it's the same for those people on that island. Just wondering.
At those quantities, any impurities would add up quickly!
THANK FOR MORE UPDATE 😊😊
