Iv started eating 70% cocoa dark chocolate now and I don’t even think about milk chocolate anymore I’m getting beautiful taste and more health benefits it’s a no brainer
cocoa is for taste profiles, usually preferred by small chocolatier, sweet stores working with smaller farms aimed to keep greater quality, cacao is organic raw material, both can be used 👌 purposes
I have a small coffee bean grinder. I soak a few cashews, then toss them in the grinder with some cacao and a spoon of raw honey. I then add some hot water, not boiling then blend. It’s milky and awesome. Oops, also a touch of salt/cinnamon
Thank you, I am definitely going to try this, I tried the other weight loss and fat burning things, I must let you know it is working. Thank you Dr. Mandell
In the reviews for that brand of cacao I saw that there was a prop California warning saying it had lots of cadmium, and some brands (I don’t know about this one) also have high amounts of lead as well. What do you recommend?
Yes cacao is the main ingredient in dark chocolate, and it’s really just a bean! The closer you can get to the raw product, the better. Children can have a serving just like adults!
High in oxalic acid which interferes with calcium in the body and helps form kidney stones in some people. Oxalates also upset the protective balance in the mouth.

Will placing raw cacao in hot water or coffee kill off the benefits?

Do you know if the Hershey's cocoa powder that says it's unsweetened cacao natural is real?

I'm just now discovering this nutritious powerhouse and I'd like to know which brand do you use?
@@RobertSpiller I usually get Navitas Organics
Does the one you use have high concentrations of cadmium and lead like most on the market?

I usually get Navitas Organics- Organic Cacao Powder
@@HealthyFamilyDoc ok thank you that one is one of the best reviewed ones with the lowest lead and cadmium results.
Where do you source your Cacao Powder from?
Hi. Is it ok to give to children and how much ?
Yes cacao is the main ingredient in dark chocolate, and it’s really just a bean! The closer you can get to the raw product, the better. Children can have a serving just like adults!
If you powder cacao nibs , do you get cacao powder
@@sr5726 yes you can buy raw cocao powder, I keep that at the house in place of traditional cocoa powder!
Thanks
Cocoa powder isn't always sweetened
High in oxalic acid which interferes with calcium in the body and helps form kidney stones in some people. Oxalates also upset the protective balance in the mouth.
Which is better doctor?
That only happens if you overconsume cacao. You're only supposed to have it in moderation.
@@chrystianaw8256 taking 4 times a week doctor?
@kunalkhati8708 I'm not a doctor, but that's too often. I'd take it only once or twice a week.
