Raw Foods News On Chocolate
Raw Foods News Magazine gives a ton of information on raw chocolate and its many uses. It describes the discovery of the cacao plant, its nutrients and enzymes. It also discusses how to peel and eat raw cacao beans. They can be blended into herbal teas, added to a fruit smoothie, or crushed and sprinkled over ice cream.
Here’s an excerpt of the type of health-related information it provides:
MAO Inhibitors
Cacao seems to diminish appetite, probably due to its monoamine oxidase enzyme inhibitors (MAO inhibitors) – these are different from digestive enzyme inhibitors found in most nuts and seeds. These rare MAO inhibitors actually produce favorable results when consumed by allowing more serotonin and other neurotransmitters to circulate in the brain. According to Dr. Gabriel Cousens, MAO inhibitors facilitate youthening and rejuvenation.
