Details: Chocolate that’s good for you?!!

The chocolate most of us are familiar with has undergone many processes which alter the nutritive value of the raw ingredients. Fillers and sweeteners are also added, leaving the finished product with little of the good stuff.
In contrast, the patented-method of cold processing Xocai Healthy Chocolate preserves antioxidant and nutrient value of raw cocoa during the manufacturing process.
There is a chocolate that has the nutritional equivalent of one half a pound of spinach, three quarters of a pound of broccoli or a pound of cherries! This chocolate has no caffeine and is actually classified as a food by Health Canada, (so it's tax-free). Sounds too good to be true?
This chocolate contains more antioxidants than some of the best known raw foods. Antioxidants are important because they scavenge the free radicals in the body that age it. Other forms of free radicals are pollution, smoke, U.V. light and radiation.

The ORAC test allows us to compare the antioxidant activity of different foods.
ORAC values refer to the Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity of a food to subdue free radicals, as determined by the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
By this definition, 3.5 ounces/100g blueberries rate 2400 points on the ORAC scale. And guess what? A 12g nugget truffle of Xocai Healthy Chocolate 's12g nugget provides 3,120 ORAC points and the 6g Power square nugget provides a whopping 3,582 ORAC points.
To get as much ORAC value out of 1 cup of Healthy Chocolate, you'd need to eat:
7 pounds of raw Spinach or
13 pounds of Red Grapes or
51.5 pounds of Tomatoes!
