Good for you Chocolate? Yes, there is such a thing! There is a company that has introduced chocolate that is, believe it or not, good for you! THE COMPANY Xocai (Sho sigh) is a division of MXI Corp and is located in Reno Nevada.
The driving force behind the development of this healthy brand of chocolate.
The head of MXI is Jeanette Brooks.
Jeanette happens to have diabetes so therefore is quite serious about producing natural products of the highest quality.
THE PRODUCTS The company's chocolate products include: Powerhouse Cookie, Chocolate Nuggets, Protein Bars, Power Squares, Activ, and Omega Bars .
Cacao is the main ingredient in the products listed above.
The company uses a very unique method when preparing their products: the cacao is cold pressed instead of heated.
By using this cold pressed process, the antioxidant value is retained where in heating the cacao 80% of the antioxidant value is lost.
The company uses only unprocessed cacao powder, the Acai berry and blueberry in their products.
THE BENEFITS These chocolate products have a tremendously high ORAC value (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity).
ORAC helps combat free radicals and also helps to prevent oxidative damage.
The daily intake of ORAC recommended by the USDA is 3,000 to 5,000 ORAC.
If you were to eat one of their nuggets, you would be getting 3,120 ORAC.
If you were to eat one of their cookies, which contains 11,115 ORAC, you would be receiving the same ORAC value as if you were to consume 3 lbs of spinach, 3 lbs of raspberries or 13 lbs of tomatoe.
Flavonoids are plant based antioxidants which help the cells in our bodies fight the damage caused by free radicals and Xocai claims their chocolate products are rich in flavonoids.
Eating that one cookie would fulfill the recommended daily intake of flavonoids.
THE DIFFERENCE Chocolate that you would normally purchase in stores today are chocked full of processed cocoa powder, sugars, preservatives, fats & fillers.
Yes these chocolates may taste good but they are horrible for your body.
According to the company, their chocolate products are loaded with fiber and full of antioxidants.
They are also low in fat and calories are also suitable for vegetarians, vegans and even diabetics.
The company is receiving testimonials from their customers that include drops in cholesterol and blood pressure levels to decreases in inflammation and stability with insulin levels.
And the consensus among them is that it tastes great.
