We’ll all cherish the day we learned chocolate was good for us. Maybe a few naysayers still remain skeptical, but study after study is proclaiming the health benefits, both mental and physical, of chocolate. Even the Life Extension Foundation includes chocolate extract in their flagship vitamin formulas. Many folks are switching from their daily dose of coffee to a cup of hot chocolate. It’s an antidepressant, an antioxidant, its full of vitamins and minerals, it improves sex drive, AND it tastes good. Really good. So what is the best way to get the health benefits? Is it as simple as eating cases of your childhood favorite chocolates? As you might have thought, there are considerations when indulging in chocolate as a regular part of your diet. But it can be done! Let’s see how…

Raw, unroasted chocolate IS A MUST to really reap the health benefits. Little of this fact is given weight in the mass-media’s portrayal of chocolate’s health benefits, but its the crucial point for anyone interested in bettering their health naturally. There’s a big difference in the chemical composition of un-roasted, naturally-dried chocolate when compared to 99% of the chocolate products available today. Nearly every single chocolate bar or drink, even at the large-chain heath food markets, is made from chocolate that’s been roasted at high temperatures. ‘Organic’ does not mean raw; chocolate powder is not raw unless it says its raw. High-end organic hot chocolate drinks are still roasted, and likely processed with alkali to make them dissolve more easily. Why the roasting and processing? Because we’ve become accustom to chocolate looking and tasting like it has since our childhoods. Working with raw chocolate (called Cacao - note this is different than Cocoa!), like so many things that are really good for you, is best prepared at home using carefully selected ingredients. It’s easy to do, and we’ll include some recipes at the end. But first back to the question of why raw is better.

First the question of Caffeine. Many folks are sensitive to caffeine’s effect on their nervous system. It raises blood pressure, shortens tempers and keeps people awake. And we all know chocolate has caffeine in it, right? But what form is it in? Research done by homeopaths indicates a significant difference on the stimulating effects of chocolate depending on whether it’s been heated or not. A drink made with roasted chocolate evoked excitement of the nervous system that did not occur with unroasted chocolate. Alteration of chemical structures through heat is common, and occurs in the case of chocolate. The roasting process involves heating the beans between 250 and 350 degrees F for 30 minutes to 2 hours. Anecdotal reports of individuals moving from coffee or yerba mate as their morning drink to a cup of hot chocolate report gentle stimulating effects without anxiety, as their other drinks had produced. Even very sensitive people who do not do well with any form of caffeine report positive results with raw chocolate; nothing at all like the effects produced by coffee or caffeinated teas.

Next the question of anti-oxidants. Chocolate has been discovered to have exceptionally high quantities of important polyphenols. A study published in the Journal of Agriculture and Food Chemistry was titled: “Cocoa Has More Phenolic Phytochemicals and Higher Antioxidant Capacity than Teas and Red Wine.” It’s hard to argue with that. Here again the question of raw arises: One report notes that while roasted chocolate is made up of 5% antioxidants, raw chocolate contains twice as much at 10%. Another important note is the addition of milk to make milk chocolate. Research has shown that the addition of milk actually cancels-out the positive effects of chocolate’s antioxidants. And milk may be one of the reasons many people seem to be allergic to chocolate, as lactose intolerance is fairly common. Another chocolate myth is some individuals break out when ingesting high amounts; reports indicate that raw chocolate does not cause this response, and that it may be the refined fats and sugars present in most chocolate products producing this effect.

Maybe the most intriguing constituents of chocolate are it’s mood-altering chemicals besides its stimulation. Many users of raw chocolate find and even greater boost than from commercial chocolates. Like caffeine, some of the molecules attributed to mood-enhancement are also heat sensitive. Tryptophan, a precursor to serotonin, is present in significant amounts and is known to be broken down by heat (and apparently it’s not the Tryptophan in the turkey dinners that makes one tired, it’s the three servings followed by pie and ice cream!). Other natural constituents are dopamine and precursors to dopamine, one molecule called the ‘love chemical’ and another called the ‘bliss chemical’. Add to these monoamine oxidase inhibitors which actually enhance the activity of all of the above mood brighteners. Finally, there’s lots of easily absorbed magnesium in raw chocolate, a mineral associated with serotonin production (many pharmaceutical antidepressants increase serotonin activity), and the ability to relax. Raw chocolate offers the healthiest and most effective means of adding these happy-making nutrients to your daily diet.

Convinced? Ready for a little raw chocolate power? First its critical to find a good source; make sure the chocolate you’re buying is raw - it’s most often labeled as ‘Cacao’, the name for the raw chocolate beans and the tree on which they grow. Cacao nibs are small pieces of pure raw chocolate that can be eaten straight, or mixed with other healthy snacks like dried fruits. But the best-loved raw chocolate preparation is the original chocolate drink: hot chocolate. Now it won’t be hot enough for long enough to convert any chemicals or to cook the chocolate, just to make it a warm comforting drink - and of course, heating the water isn’t necessary at all (though in recipes calling for Coconut oil, it helps to blend the oil into the drink). So to make a cup, use powdered raw chocolate (grinding the nibs or beans in a coffee grinder can work, though you’ll find this challenging as the natural oils in the chocolate will heat up and liquefy before the grinding is complete, leaving little crunchy bits). Put one or two tablespoons powdered chocolate, one to two teaspoons raw dark agave nectar (a low-glycemic index natural sweetner) and one to two teaspoons of Coconut oil in a blender. Add eight to twelve ounces almost-boiling water and blend for ten seconds. That’s it! You’ll find your personal favorite formula after a few preparations - more or less chocolate, oil, sweetener or water.

There are many, many recipes available online and in books about raw chocolate. Some favorite additions to the drink are Maca, cinnamon, tocopherols (a form of Vitamin E), and for the truly hard core, blue green algae and spirulina. Your own raw chocolate bars are very easy to make, really just by omitting the water and adjusting the oil and sweetener ratios to make a thick chocolate paste. Add some chopped nuts if you like, press into a casserole dish and put it in the refrigerator long enough to make it firm. Experiment; it’s chocolate! You’re supposed to have fun. And with raw chocolate, it might be the most fun you can have eating while positively benefiting your health.

Many people seem to have the misconception that chocolates are bad for you and that it is the cause of acne and obesity. Well, it is not all that true so you chocolate lovers out there can rejoice and know for a fact that you can enjoy your favorite dessert without the guilt after all. You no longer need to shun chocolate for fear of gaining weight because of empty calories. Chocolates are way more than empty calories but has some goodness in them too.

It is really true. Chocolates do have some health benefits and it has been proven in all sorts of scientific research over the years. This is because chocolates are made of cocoa. Cocoa is made from cacao beans and cacao beans are extracted from the cacao fruit of the cacao tree. Basically, chocolate is a fruit product that underwent a tedious process to turn it into the delicious, addictive dessert you love. You will have pure cocoa if you extracted the milk and sugar from chocolates. Cocoa has a bitter taste although it has the rich chocolate scent.

It is a fact that dark cocoa is high in anti-oxidants and these are really important in combating free radicals. Research has shown that if you consumer dark chocolate every day, it will also help to lower your blood pressure and prevent heart disease. So, tucking into chocolates aren’t all that bad and is good for your health.

But then, this doesn’t mean you can now go right ahead and start stocking up tons of chocolates and start stuffing yourself silly on them. You will still need to have a modicum of control because you should know that many commercial chocolates out there are high in sugars. Some milk chocolate have lower cocoa content and higher fat and sugars so these aren’t really healthy too. So, you need to be able to differentiate between bad chocolates and good chocolates.

You read right. Some chocolates are good and some are bad. Bad chocolates contains loads of sugars and after eating this, it will give you a sugar rush and perhaps even help you on the way to getting diabetes. These high-sugar chocolates can cause obesity and these are the ones that gave the good chocolates the bad reputation. Good chocolates are the ones that do not have high sugar. To be able to filter out the bad chocolates, just read the labels and look at the ingredients. If the first few ingredients have the word ’sugar’ in it, put it back and don’t eat it!

To look for good chocolates, you will find that it is much easier to spot them. You only need to search for the words ’sugar-free’ and ‘low fat’ and ‘70% cocoa’ on the labels to distinguish them from the bad chocolates. It is especially important that you only go for those with at least 70% cocoa content to get the best benefits out of it. To avoid diabetes, the sugar free ones are great too as they are sweetened by artificial sweeteners. You can also try the natural organic sugar free chocolates as these don’t use artificial sweeteners but natural sweeteners instead. Go for the good chocolates to satisfy your sweet tooth and you will never go wrong!

There is this misconception flying around that chocolates are bad for health and is the main cause of obesity and even acne. This is very much further from the truth than you think. Chocolate lovers will be glad to know that you can eat chocolate because it can also be good for your health. You don’t have to avoid chocolate because it may make you fat because chocolate is more than just extra calories, but has great health benefits too.

That’s the truth. Chocolates could be good for your health and scientists have conducted loads of research just to prove that. This is because chocolates basically came from a fruit. Cocoa is extracted from cacao beans and cacao beans are from the cacao tree. After the cocoa underwent some tedious processing with the addition of milk and sugar, then you get the chocolates you love to eat. Cocoa by itself. although it has a fragrant chocolate scent, it tastes bitter.

Dark cocoa is able to fight free radicals from damaging your cells simply because it contains anti-oxidants. It is proven in research that if you eat some dark chocolate each day, it will also help lower your blood pressure and prevent heart disease. Go ahead, eat some chocolates, because it is not all bad for you but could be good for your health too.

But before you rush out to start buying loads of chocolates and start eating them like there’s no tomorrow, you should know that there’s a limit to everything. Control your urge to binge on them and know that some commercial chocolates are quite high in sugars and fat. Milk chocolate, especially, have lower cocoa content, higher fat and more sugar than you really need so its not exactly healthy. This means, you will need to divide the chocolates into good or bad chocolates.

Yes, some not all chocolates are good and not all are bad. The bad chocolates are the ones that are sweet with a lot of sugars in it. These are the ones that will cause obesity and may even give you diabetes. They are the ones that made good chocolates seem unhealthy too. To spot a bad chocolate, all you need to do is to look at the labels and search for the ingredients. If sugar is in the first few ingredients, then it is a bad chocolate that you should stay away from.

As for the good chocolates, these are pretty easy to distinguish from the bad ones. Once again, you will need to read the labels and look for the magic words like ’sugar-free’, ‘low-fat’ and cocoa percentage. Yes, you will need to purchase chocolates with at least 70% cocoa content just so that you can get the health benefits from it. The sugar-free ones will not be bitter and are mostly sweetened with artificial sweeteners. If you don’t want to be consuming synthetic artificial sweeteners, then you can even look for the natural organic sugar-free ones that uses natural sweeteners instead. These are the chocolates that will satisfy your chocolate craving and give you a boost in your health.

Many chocolate truffles you buy in stores are manufactured in factories and most of them are loaded with sugar so they aren’t really good for you and are extremely high calorie. Some store-bought chocolate truffles do not contain enough cocoa to give you the benefits of consuming anti-oxidant rich cocoa. If you love eating chocolates, then you should always look at the option of enjoying those that are also good for you instead of those that are high in calorie, high in sugar with zero benefits. For healthier, tastier chocolate experience, then make your very own chocolate truffles.

You may think it is very hard to make chocolate truffles but nothing can be further from the truth. It is pretty easy to make these delightful mouthfuls of heavenly chocolate once you know how. All you need is some very basic cooking skills and as long as you don’t burn the chocolate, you will be able to produce professional looking truffles in no time. Of course, you will need to read on the following tips first before you try your hand at making your own truffles that will tastes much better than those you found at stores.

Before setting out to make chocolate truffles, the first things you need to do is to stock up on the essential ingredients. The most important one is of course, the chocolate. I’d recommend dark baking chocolate that has high cocoa content of 70% and above. We want high cocoa content because only chocolates with high cocoa content are of better quality, richer and has more anti-oxidants that are also good for you. But if you don’t really like the slight bitter taste of dark chocolate, you can also choose to get milk chocolate with a lower cocoa content.

The other ingredients that you should include are what you want in your truffles. If you want your truffles to have some crunch to it, you will need nuts like almonds or peanuts or if you want some dried fruits in it, you can get those too. If you want colorful truffles, you can choose to get some multi-colored chocolate rice which you can use to roll the truffles in once done.

The very first thing to do is to break or chop the chocolate into smaller pieces. The put the chocolate into a heatproof bowl. Add in butter and then place the bowl over a simmering pan of water. Be careful to ensure the bottom of the bowl do not touch the boiling water. Using a wooden spoon, stir the chocolate butter mixture until it is thoroughly melted. If you like cheese, you can also get some cream cheese on hand so that you can add it in later.

After the chocolate and butter has melted, remove from heat and cool. Then you add the cream cheese and whatever nuts and fruits you want to add to the truffles. Make very sure you mix it all together until it is well combined. Use could even use a blender to do that to ensure that the cream cheese is well incorporated into the chocolate, nuts and fruits mixture. The final step is pretty easy. Just spread the mixture on a pan and leave to cool. Then use an ice cream scoop to scoop out chocolate balls. Dip the chocolate balls on the chocolate rice or dust with some cocoa powder and place on wax paper on a pan. Refrigerate until firm and it’s ready to eat!

The history of chocolate starts with the cocoa tree which is native to the forests of South and Central America and grows to approximately 20 foot high.

This quite delicate tree starts to produce fruit in its 4th to 5th year. Large yellow or red pods encase a white pulp that hides its treasure of between 20 to 50 cocoa beans.

The cocoa bean was cultivated for centuries by the Maya Indians, the Mexican Aztecs and the Incas of Peru where they had ceremonial significance and were associated with the festivities of births and marriages. At these events they were regularly used as a tribute or money. In some areas only those of the highest ranking could enjoy the wonderful drink boiling these beans could produce.

When the Spanish conquered Mexico in 1519 they were so taken with this chocolaty drink (although they did add sugar to sweeten the taste) they introduced the trees to Trinidad where they closely guarded their secret s of cultivation and preparation. It wasn’t long however before the trees spread to the West India Islands and The Philippines’. The Dutch are believed to have introduced them into Indonesia, Sri Lanka and the Gull fog Guinea, South America however remained the chief exporter and producer until 1891.

In the Seventeenth century the drink was introduced to the noblemen and women of the courts of Spain, Italy, Germany, France and England. Chocolate was still an expensive luxury even though the secret to its preparation was out in the open. When the first chocolate house was opened in London in 1657, the cost of a pound of chocolate was more than 6 months wages putting it way out of your average 17th century Londones price bracket and making it exclusive to the very wealthy. This was due to the heavy import duty imposed on cocoa beans.

Both drinking and eating chocolate are relatively new inventions that were developed during the 19th century. The chocolate of today was not produced until a Dutchman discovered how to press the cocoa butter out of the beans.

The pressed beans could then produce a much less fatty drinking chocolate that was much more palatable than the rich buttery drink the Aztecs had made centuries earlier. The cocoa butter could then be used to make eating chocolate. These techniques were perfected in 1847 by J.S. Fry and the delicious bit of dreamworld that we know today as chocolate was on sale for the 1st time.

Now while the history of chocolate is all very interesting, does it really matter to those of us who just want to gorge ourselves on the sweet creamy taste, how it got here. Or just that it did. The weird thing about history is that it changes all the time and while most things get better and progress naturally forward, Why is there always someone that wants’ to screw with a good thing. Something weird is happening to chocolate, it’s progressing and getting politically correct, it’s getting better for us while losing its delicious taste.

Chocolate doesn’t have a hard job to do, it doesn’t have to fund the cure for cancer or date Jessica Simpson it just has to tantalize our taste buds and make us smile as we swallow. Chocolate lovers all over the world it’s time to pick up your chocolate molds get out of your chocolate fountain and put down your chocolate cake (only for a minute you can pick it up again as soon as we’ve made our point,) and tell the chocolate makers NO! We don’t want inferior chocolate any more; we don’t want the no-name, no frills, low calorie, low fat, sugar-free, carob chocolate.

We want our Cadbury’s, Lindts, Hershey’s, Mars and all those other fine quality chocolates tasting as creamy, rich, and delectable as they should. After all History teaches us to learn by our mistakes and you can’t improve on perfection!
