Guilt-Free Chocolate

Good news for chocolate lovers: Chocolate is actually good for you! It’s the milk and sugar in chocolate that’s bad for you. If you eat raw, organic Cacao beans (which is where all chocolate comes from), it’s a very healthy food. Raw, organic cacao beans are rich in magnesium. Magnesium balances brain chemistry and builds strong bones. Our standard American diet contains almost no magnesium. Almost 80 percent of Americans are chronically deficient in this vital mineral. You can eat cacao beans raw. They taste like dark chocolate. You can also add them to smoothies and other beverages, make healthy desserts, and enjoy this chocolate without guilt!

I love you,

Louise
