How about some good tasting chocolate for a person with diabetes and that doesn’t have the all the fat and sugar of store bought chocolates? Truly healthy chocolate can’t be bought at the grocery store. At this time, Xocai appears to be the only real healthy chocolate available. Can the major candy bar companies promise a chocolate that gives you the equivalent of a full days’ worth of fruits and vegetables in 15 grams of carbohydrates? (3 individually wrapped squares)
Have you ever noticed that these companies usually call their products ‘candy’ bars and not chocolate bars? What little chocolate there really is on or in their bar, has been cooked and thinned with fillers.
I’ve had products that claimed to be Belgium chocolates and ice creams that claimed to have been made with Belgium (reported to be the best chocolate available) chocolate… but, now I am wondering if I just heard it wrong about their chocolates.
I’ve tried the Xobiotic chocolate squares from Xocai. I have never tasted any chocolate this good! And, I really didn’t think I was a big fan of dark chocolate. I can’t even eat the Dove chocolates anymore. Every other chocolate pales in comparison.
I’m a fan. I admit it. I don’t sell it and don’t plan to. But, I do think people should know the truth. I buy it because I have type 2 diabetes and it’s the only chocolate that I can have. Each square is 5 grams of carbohydrates. It takes 15 grams of carbohydrates to make one starch exchange.
THIS is REAL chocolate. It is cold processed and combined with the Acai berry and sometimes other berries. This company has several types of chocolate products that utilize various berries in addition to Acai.
BENEFITS OF THE RIGHT KIND OF CHOCOLATE:
(Antioxidants)
Good for the heart.
Appetite control.
Better blood pressure.
Less chance of getting cancer.
Alkaline forming.
Can lower blood sugars if used appropriately.
Anti-inflammatory (helps with arthritis).
Good for lungs because it dilates blood vessels.
Contains natural caffeine, which affects neurotransmitters, which results in less brain-fog.
Lowers LDL cholesterol.
Whenever considering a dark chocolate for a healthy food choice, look for the ORAC values as well as the amount of flavonoids. One Xobiotic square contains an ORAC SCORE of 28259 and 634mg of flavonoids.
ORAC is an acronym for Oxygen radical absorbance capacity. This is a measurement tool that determines the antioxidant capacity of different foods. Or, how many oxygen radicals a food can absorb or neutralize. Oxygen radicals damage our cells. Rust on metal is oxidation. Free radicals oxidize our cells. So, anti-oxidants are like anti-rust for our bodies. An ORAC rating is the same thing (or synonymous) as an antioxidant value.
This Xocai product is said to be an alkaline forming food. A high acidic pH in the blood equals low voltage and illness. A balance between alkaline and acidic pH is necessary for a healthy body. Please watch these following clips on how diet soda makes people fat. These two do a really good job of explaining pH balance:
Whatever brand of chocolate one pursues for health measures, the uncooked or cold process is the best route. It is even better when combined with high flavonoid foods like blueberries and acai.
