Be My Valentine - DONT Be Fooled By Chocolate!
With Christmas still being a ‘recent’ memory, I find it hard to believe that Valentine’s Day is just around the corner. Once again many consumers are out shopping for chocolate.
Due to the continued reports of chocolates ‘remarkable’ health benefit’s, the rush to buy it is even stronger this year. What consumers don’t realise is, that once again they have been deceived. Scientific research states that typical processed chocolate products have virtually NONE of the health benefits that have been attributed to chocolate.
To make the chocolate taste less bitter, the bitter alkaloids have been removed. Than they are mixed/blended with refined sugars and of course unhealthy fats, which creates the ‘finished’ product. The result is a product with no real health benefits. All we have is a diabetes-inducing, fat-expanding chocolate ‘product’. Processed chocolate and chocolate bars are no more than junk foods!
REAL chocolate has a number of impressive health benefits, such as brain, liver and heart function. Has anti-cancer properties and is loaded with anti-oxidants. To me there is no other way to enjoy a more delicious way with such health benefits than eating chocolate!
We are lucky enough that there are companies out there that are selling real chocolate products.

Remember that ONLY minimally processed chocolate has any health benefits.
