HEALTH BENEFITS OF RAW CACAO
The much touted nutritional benefits or raw cacao range from reducing cataracts to improving heart function to alleviating stress.
The theobromine naturally found in raw cacao is a mild, non-addictive stimulant that some believe can treat depression.
Theobromine may cause the brain to produce more of a neurotransmitter called anandamide which would account for the euphoric sensation some feel when indulging in chocolate.

Great recipe to try on hubby. He loved chocolate, after being diagnosed high sugar stopped all sweets cold turkey. Has a bowl of mixed frozen fruit daily. Thanks
