  2. I am excited. This is anecdotal, f course, but after two days of eating >5g of 85% cacao chocolate, (asper the included study) all systems seem to be doing better. As per the graph improvement should start within hours of consumption, not days, hence my optimism. Again, anecdotal.

  4. MEDICAL WORLD ALWAYS STRIKE OUT…….AT NATURAL FOOD , NATURAL VITAMINS AND SUPPLEMENTATIONS !!!!
    THEY NEVER DO RESEARCHES WITH GREAT SERIOUSNESS !!!!
    ALWAYS INSUFFICIENT EVIDENCES !!!!!
    ALWAYS INCONCLUSIVE RESEARCHES !!!!
    Hmmmm……!!!!!
    WONDER WHY ????
    DONT NEED ROCKET SCIENCE TO FIGURE TAT OUT!!!!
    🟥🟥🟥🟥🟥🟥🟥🟥🟥🟥🟥🟥🟥🟥🟥🟥🟥🟥🟥🟥🟥🟥
    BECAUSE GOD CREATING NATURAL FOODS AND FRUITS ARE HEALING FOOD
    AND IT CAN CLEARLY HEALED ALMOST ALL DISEASES !!!!!

    TAT IS NO GOOD NEWS FOR MEDICAL DRUG WORLD !!!!!

    PROFIT IN DOLLARS FLY OUT OF THEIR WINDOWS ….IF GOD CREATED FRUITS PROVED FAR MORE SUPERIOR THAN THEIR EVIL DRUGS !!!!!

    GOD CREATED FOODS FAR MORE SUPERIOR ……TO VERY DANGEROUS DRUGS WITH SO MANY SIDE EFFECTS ❌❌❌❌❌

  5. I used to eat deep fried pizza with chips and brown sauce regularly from the chippy when I grew up in Scotland. I didn’t know any better. It’s so important to teach out children good nutrition

  6. I'm going to throw the cat among the pigeons here and suggest that the chocolate's action is related to the theobromine. It kills dogs though internal bleeding because it weakens their blood vessels. If it weakens ours but not enough to cause bleeding then maybe (just maybe) it's possible that long term it causes hardening. I say this for 2 reasons, first I get leg cramps if I eat dark chocolate, and second dark chocolate is the only high fat thing I consume and jet have needed a quad bypass. Anyhow, all I want to do is add to the information base upon which conclusions are drawn.

  7. Here's a simple experiment anyone can conduct on their own: measure your blood pressure at the same time each day following the same routine (like sit for a half hour before the test) and don't eat dark chocolate during this period. Then continue to take your blood pressure, but eat a square or two of 85% cacao chocolate at least 2 hours before.

    I think you will find a significant drop in your blood pressure after eating the chocolate.

  8. I know a guy whose retired now but he was in the military and he loved chocolate it was like his favourite food by miles. He decided to give it up because he wanted to know he could I guess and he hasn’t had chocolate in like 20 years? Honestly I can not understand why someone would do that but I guess for him it’s about proving his own mental strength to himself somehow? Sorry weird anecdote.. anyone here have a window into why he did this?

  9. Hello good,
    I hope you are good.
    A big greeting from Costa Rica!
    Cocoa cures 80% of diseases, that I assure you. It must be fresh and with husksꓼ the video of how it is ground was sent to you along with the one on how to drink it, but first I must fully explain why people stop drinking it.
    Cocoa is taken in hot water from 1 to 6 tablespoons daily, the body must get used to it. on an empty stomach preferably the start when you take it, if you suffer from gastritis or reflux it can make you want to vomit (on the fourth day it goes away), if you have a very dirty colon you can send your body to give up for at least 7 days, no don't worry, some people are covered by so much waste, if that's your case, you take a laxativeꓼ if it didn't work, you take it by the spoonful in your already brewed coffee (coffee ole trade name of a coffee with chocolate only this es cacao) for 15 days, then return to normal cacao in hot water.
    Other people get a headache, it goes away with aspirinꓼ the pain doesn't last long, it's above the eyebrow, two fingers above. Other people, like diabetics, regulate their sugar almost immediately, don't be scared, it only happens once. He catches the asthmatic without asthma only once and controls his asthma, he does not have attacks again.
    Some people find it azurumba, don't worry, take it every other day.

    Usually those are the things for which many people leave cocoa, they don't give it a chance to heal you.
    A kilo of cocoa is enough to regulate all diseases, but if you leave it after three months, the ailments return, you must take it so that I educate you on eating and your body becomes healthy, I have been here for two years and it continues to surprise me, I am 56 years old

    I have been in field research for four years and there are many people who are being cured.

    Cocoa is obtained from southern Mexico to Bolivia. Remember, it must be fresh, you cannot commercial cocoaꓼ commercial cocoa is manipulated, try to make it pure cocoa, but not from Africa.

    I hope with all the love in the world that it helps you, with just one person recovered it was worth it and I assure you, if you take it every day for 6 months, your life will change, I promise you, there are already many people. Be constant, it's just cocoa… https://studio.youtube.com/video/KaVp2TTwfLw/edit

  10. One would think that an intelligent nation such as Scotland would never have something unhealthy such as a Deep Fried Mars Bar. It is something you would gift to your enemy if you did not want him/her to live long.
