David Wolfe on Cacao

Raw Cacao has been a part of my daily diet since i went raw in 2007. I didn't know at the time what an amazing superfood it is, i just started putting it into my smoothies because i was thrilled that i could have chocolate without sugar on my raw diet. It wasn't until i went two weeks without cacao that i noticed the difference it had been making in my life. I found myself slowly sinking into depression again, reminiscent of the way my life was before my big lifestyle change. Then i found out that raw cacao is a natural serotonin booster and that it contains more magnesium than any other food. Magnesium deficiencies are common in people with many psychiatric disorders such as bi-polar disorder and schizophrenia, which are most often treated with anti-depressants. I have found raw cacao to be a natural antidepressant that helps me to coast through challenging periods of my life.

I will begin at the beginning very soon, telling the story of why and how i went raw. For now, listen to David Wolfe talk about chocolate.
