Is Dark Chocolate Healthy?

As the word gets out about the health benefit of Xocai Dark Chocolate, I am getting phone calls and emails from people that want to know how they can purchase the different Xocai products. These are people that have no interest in getting into network marketing and want to get the lowest prices on Xocai.

Xocai Healthy Chocolate is not for sale in stores. It can only be purchased through independent distributors. Many xocai distributors offer the product for retail only for buyers and try to sell you on the home business opportunity. Although becoming a xocai distributor can be very profitable it is not for everyone. People that just want to buy it for its fantastic health benefits can purchase it for wholesale prices if they follow the instructions below.

Here are the options you have:

1. You can purchase it Xocai at retail and pay top dollar per case.

2. You can become a Xocai preferred customer for $10.00 and save about $13.00 per case off retail.

3. The best way to buy Xocai Healthy Chocolate. If you are a regular user (most buyers are or become one) you can buy Xocai Healthy Chocolate at wholesale. These are the lowest prices you can receive and it is just a matter of filling out a form and paying a $35.00 membership fee. You will save up to $30.00 per case.

You will be signing up as a Xocai distributor, but you are absolutely under no obligation to ever sell anything ever! You will not be called or harassed to become an active seller and you can purchase anytime. The best way to ensure you always have the product is to go on auto ship.

My family uses 1 case of X Power Cookies and 1 case of Activ every month, so we definitely wanted to go on auto ship to avoid having to order every month. You can turn off the auto ship anytime you want.

There is no reason you should pay retail when there is an option available that could save you $30-60 per month.

My wife’s sister wanted to buy Xocai from us for her family, and my brother wanted some Activ for his high blood pressure. We also have several friends that want Xocai for their family. I simply directed them to Wholesale Dark Chocolate and they were off.

Keep in mind you are investing in you health and if you want to enjoy the health benefits of Dark Chocolate you need to add it to your daily regimen.

All Chocolates Are Not Created Equal!

Most candy bars and chocolate foods commonly found in grocery stores are not what you’re looking for. These are typically high in refined (white) sugar, milk fats, and hydrogenated oils—ingredients that replace the truly healthful nutrients found in cocoa. It is basically Junk Food, and should be eaten in moderation.

Xocai Choolate is totally different than store bought chocolate. Xoçai™ chocolate products combine the antioxidant benefits of the finest, all-natural European cocoa powder and the Acai berry (Ah-Sigh-EE) from the Amazon Rain Forest.

Xoçai Chocolate is the perfect delivery system for the potent antioxidants in dark chocolate. The processed chocolate found in candy is laden with fat, wax, fillers, and sugar (not to mention that processing chocolate actually kills about 75% of its antioxidant capacity). Xocai Products contain completely natural, UNPROCESSED chocolate which retains 100% of its antioxidant and nutritional value!

With 10 times the antioxidants of grapes and over 7 times the antioxidants of blueberries, the Brazilian Acai berry (AH-sigh-EE) is considered to have the best nutritional value of any fruit on earth.

Xocai Chocolate vs. “Candy” Chocolate

The following table compares the Xocai chocolate to commercially produced “candy” chocolate products

Below is a list of the Top Antioxidant Foods:

What is ORAC? ORAC stands for Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity. The USDA uses the ORAC scale to measure the antioxidant capacities of different foods.

What is the Acai Berry?

The Acai berry is relatively new to the North American USA market, but it has been consumed by millions in South America for hundreds of years, perhaps for thousands of years.

The Acai berry tastes like a vibrant blend of berries and chocolate. Hidden within its royal purple pigment is the magic that makes it nature’s perfect energy fruit. The Acai berry is packed full of antioxidants, amino acids and essential fatty acids. The Acai berry is considered nature’s number one “superfood”.

Xocai, pronounced (Sho-sigh) uses unprocessed cacao (cocoa) powder and the Acai Berry in all its products. Because the fermentation, drying, and roasting processes are closely monitored, Xocai chocolate delivers the optimum amount of the antioxidants naturally found in the cacao (cocoa).

Over the centuries, chocolate has come full circle. Most of the modern world currently views chocolate as a tasty but quite unhealthy indulgence meant for only occasional consumption. But health-conscious consumers are now learning that dark chocolate, devoid of some of the unhealthful ingredients usually paired with it in confectionary products, possesses some impressive health properties.

Scientists are rediscovering what ancient Mesoamericans knew centuries ago: Chocolate can be very good for you. It may have been cultivated for over two thousand years, but in the last five years science has finally begun to discover the actual health benefits of cocoa. Research is just beginning and is especially promising in the area of phytonutrients, polyphenols, and flavonoids.

However, not all chocolate is created equal. Most candy bars and chocolate foods commonly found in grocery stores are not what you’re looking for. These are typically high in refined (white) sugar, milk fats, and hydrogenated oils—ingredients that replace the truly healthful nutrients found in cocoa.

It’s important to remember that what makes chocolate healthy is the chocolate itself—that is, the pure cocoa that comes from the bean of the cacao plant. Studies confirm that the chocolate products with the highest levels of polyphenols and procyanidins should contain at least 70 percent pure cocoa powder. What this means is that, while it’s not necessarily bad to have “milk” chocolate, which contains a higher percentage of cream or milk, the more pure cocoa the chocolate contains, the more beneficial it will be. Bitter is better.

Also, many chocolate confections are processed using a procedure known as “Dutching,” which neutralizes the chocolate’s acidic flavor and modifies its color by adding alkali-potash to the cocoa nibs before roasting. However, this alkalinization process also removes most of the chocolate’s natural polyphenols. Another process commonly used by confectioners that can damage cocoa’s healthy nutrients is roasting: when chocolate is prepared above 100 degrees Fahrenheit, its antioxidant compounds are destroyed.

Here are a few of the important things to consider when choosing a healthy chocolate:

Has Not been alkalized

Has been dried and cool-pressed rather than roasted

Consists of at least 70 percent pure cocoa

Contains cocoa butter instead of milk fats or hydrogenated oils.

Contains natural, low-glycemic sweeteners- such as raw cane- rather than refined sugar.

Why is Xocai (sho-sigh) Different?

Xocai is totally different than store bought chocolate. Xoçai™ products combine the antioxidant benefits of the finest, all-natural European cocoa powder and the Acai berry (Ah-Sigh-EE) from the Amazon Rain Forest.

Xoçai™ is the perfect delivery system for the potent antioxidants in dark chocolate.

Xocai Products contain completely natural, UNPROCESSED chocolate which retains 100% of its antioxidant and nutritional value!

Chocolate. It’s most commonly associated with “candy”, and it’s often blamed for contributing to obesity, acne, and cavities. The truth is that chocolate can be a healthy addition to an effective wellness program. While this is surprising to most people, an impressive and rapidly growing body of research, as well as centuries of traditional use, point to chocolate (specifically cacao) as being effective in supporting and protecting the body’s systems and providing an added measure of wellness and vitality.

Cacao trees grow in the rain forests near the earth’s equator. Ghana and the Ivory Coast produce about 70 percent of the world’s cacao, with Indonesia and Brazil contributing the bulk of the rest. The trees produce hard-shelled pods that contain 20-50 cocoa beans, which are harvested and processed in a variety of ways to produce forms of chocolate ranging from cocoa powder to delicious-tasting chocolate bars.

From antiquity to the present, chocolate has been one of society’s most beloved foods. As mentioned, however, most people associate chocolate with unhealthy attributes usually reserved for junk food. This is due largely to the processing and marketing of commercial chocolate as “candy”, and most of these products are manufactured with poor-quality cacoa coupled with high sugar content, added fats, caffeine, waxes, and fillers — leading to the unfortunate label of “unhealthy.”

Why do we need Antioxidants? Almost everyone has heard of free-radicals and antioxidants. Free Radicals are unstable molecules that attack the cells in the body. They are the “bad-guys” and they affect everyone. Free radicals are a by-product of breathing, stress and pollution. Regardless of how healthy you are or what kind of environment you live in, your body is constantly bombarded with free radicals. Estimates by experts suggest that every cell in your body is attacked an average of 10,000 times every single day.

Scientists have linked Free Radical and oxidation damage to more than 200 diseases and disease processes including certain types of cancer, heart disease, diabetes, high cholesterol, cataracts, arthritis, Alzheimer’s, Multiple Sclerosis, inflammatory bowel disease, lung disease, fibromyalgia and others.Free Radicals can be controlled with compounds called antioxidants. Antioxidants neutralize free radicals.

So how can we tell which foods are best for antioxidants? This is the very question that top researchers set out to answer when they developed an objective scientific test that would measure the potency and power of antioxidants from different sources.

The test produces a number commonly known as an ORAC score.

ORAC is an acronym for Oxygen Radical Absorption Capacity.

Antioxidants are like sponges that absorb and neutralize the free radicals. The higher the score the more oxygen free radicals can be absorbed and neutralized. The table illustrates the differences that we see from food to food. Raw spinach scores far better than cherries or red grapes. Blueberries, long believed to be the richest antioxidant food, is nearly twice as powerful as raw spinach. But look at Acai Berry and Unprocessed Cocoa Powder…they dominate the list with scores of 18,500 and 26,000.

Xocai Healthy Chocolate utilizes both Acai Berry and Unprocessed Cocoa Powder in their product along with blueberry powder. But their real secret isn’t just in the ingredients…it’s in their proprietary method for processing the raw cacao. That process is revolutionary in that preserves the health benefits of the raw cacao while maintaining the rich satisfying flavor of gourmet chocolate. The result is a delicious real Belgian chocolate with all the nutrition left intact.
