Chocolates – Anitoxidants, Superfood, or Sugar Hit?

Our family loves chocolate. You might even describe us as chocoholics! Every night after dinner, out come the and flakes to help calm us after a hectic day with our 4 year old daughter! So why is chocolate being touted as the next “superfood” and antioxidant? Well for one thing, it is not the stuff Cadbury makes!

Many years ago I visited Belgium and lived in Antwerp for a few weeks. I ate pralines every day and they were yummy. Let’s face it Belgium gets its coca from the Congo, one the to grow the beans. Cocoa originated in Mexico and the Europeans took them to Africa where Cocoa Plants thrived. In Belgium, I even ate a bean one day. It was huge and very sweet. Haven’t seen one since. Chocolate was so valuable to the , it was even used as a form of currency!

A Business In Chocolate?

Many of us in the are already aware of Xochai. This company markets organic cold pressed chocolate mixed with Acai Berries.

All of us in the know that the worst thing about pills and potions is that, at best, they taste bland. Let’s face it, there is no glamour in odorless, tasteless, drops, even if they do rid our body of the stuff that is not supposed to be there! So, if chocolate really were healthy, many of us would want to get our nutrients this way!

For over 3 years, I have been marketing an amazing detox product, using the world’s best activated liquid zeolite product, with remarkable results. We are currently compiling hundreds of testimonies from people with success in such conditions as autism, ADHD, allergies, cancer, , , , thyroid problems, and a whole host of others. This product has a unique edge over the competition and is proven to work with clinical tests and published research. Even though there is a constant demand due to work of mouth, it just isn’t sexy! I know from personal experience, that taking a few drops every day can resolve all sorts of health issues, and leave you with a longer, happier life.

OK, I hope you haven’t switched off already. Let’s face it, there is a new MLM on the block every day, and there are a host of people who make all their money on pre launch of various programs. This is an established company, who are about to sex up an established technology with proven results – very different to a new start up!

Super Product

There is a new product in the pipeline that combines the power of cold pressed organic chocolate, activated liquid zeolite and a proprietary mood enhancer. I am looking to add people to my established, successful team of networkers who are ready to capitalize on this new product. By making zeolite sexy, it will have mass appeal, once people understand what they have. Our market is going to expand and I need an army of distributors to help! We have all sorts of benefits for you, but you will have to contact me first.

Lead In Chocolate

This is a serious concern, please understand that lead causes all sorts of health problems, and there are no requirements to list lead levels on food labels.

“The sources of lead in Nigerian cocoa products, which have become a concern, may conceivably include lead from local soils and rocks where the cocoa plant is grown; farming practices (e.g., the application of fertilizers, lead-containing pesticides, composts and other soil additives); atmospherically deposited lead; handling and processing of cocoa beans after harvesting (including drying in open air, transportation, and storage); grinding and manufacturing processes (wear and tear of lead-soldered machine parts); mixtures and additives to final products; and packaging and wrapping material”. Source Med line.

The article further goes on to state, “To the best of our knowledge, there has been no systematic auditing of the sources of lead during the manufacture of chocolate products from the harvesting of cocoa beans to the finished products”. Yes folks, no one is testing our chocolate for led content, yet another example of toxins in food no one is telling us about!

The evidence is that lead concentrations in manufactured chocolate are amongst the highest in all foods!

Now For The good stuff

  • Cornell University food scientists discovered that cocoa powder has nearly twice the antioxidants of red wine, and up to three times the antioxidants found in green tea.
  • The ORAC score per 100 grams of unprocessed raw cacao is 28,000, compared to 18,500 for Acai Berries, 1,540 for Strawberries, and only 1,260 for raw Spinach.
  • Cocoa is a good source of the minerals magnesium, sulphur, calcium, iron, zinc, copper, potassium, and manganese; plus some of the B Vitamins. It has a high content of the “beauty” mineral, sulfur. Sulfur helps build strong nails and hair, promotes healthy and beautiful skin, helps detoxify the liver, and supports healthy functioning of the pancreas.
  • Fresh cocoa beans are super-rich in the type of bioflavonoid called flavanols which are strong antioxidants that help maintain healthy blood flow and blood pressure. The heart-healthy flavanols in cocoa, especially the epicatechins, prevent fatty substances in the bloodstream from oxidizing and then clogging the arteries.
  • Flavanols help make blood platelets less likely to stick together and cause blood clots, heart attacks, and strokes – without the negative side effects associated with the use of aspirin (ASA) and other pharmaceutical blood-thinners.
  • Cocoa also contains the amino acid Tryptophan which makes the neurotransmitter known as serotonin, which promotes positive feelings and helps keep us from feeling depressed. Cocoa contains the neurotransmitters dopamine, and phenylethylamine (PEA), and contains anandamide and MAO Inhibitors – which make this heart-healthy food a healthy food for the brain too.
  • Phenylethylamine (PEA) helps promote mental alertness and the ability to concentrate. The PEA in healthy chocolate can be of help to students taking tests, and to senior citizens who want to retain the mental capacity of a younger person and postpone the onset of dementia.
  • Studies have indicated that consuming dark chocolate produced an increased sensitivity to insulin (which indicates a protective effect against diabetes).

The downward Spiral From Cocoa Bean To Cadbury or Hershey Chocolate bar!

Cooking Chocolate

First stage is to Ferment and Roast the beans to make a “chocolate liquor” paste. This is cooled and becomes “Unsweetened baking or cooking chocolate”. It is the stuff we use in cakes.

Cocoa Powder

The next stage is to squeeze out the cocoa butter in a press resulting in products such as Cadbury’s “Bourneville Cocoa powder” So far, so good, we have only taken the fat out! Chocolate cup cakes might be better for us than we first thought!

Dark Chocolate

To make dark chocolate, you take the Cocoa powder, add back some Cocoa butter, and then refined white sugar to create the required bitterness level! Many are aware that Sugar has been described as the most addictive and dangerous substance on earth, and many contend that this one substance when refined, represents one of the biggest threats to human health. Dr Francisco Contreras, in his book, “Health in the 21st Century” suggests that those who lower their sugar intake live longer by up to 12 years! Still it is almost impossible to avoid, so minimization is the only option for most of us. So adding refined sugar is the first step away from pure, healthy chocolate.

The Extra Bits.

A block of Cadbury’s Dairy Milk Chocolate contains

  • Full Cream Milk
  • Sugar – Refined White Processed 56%
  • Cocoa Mass ( the good stuff) 21%
  • Cocoa Butter 21%
  • Milk Solids 28% (total of protein plus fat)
  • Vegetable Fat (no information of the source of this)
  • Soya Lecithin 476 Emulsifier ( a derivative of castor oil)
  • Flavours (unspecified).
  • Lead levels are not listed!

This is a far cry from the original chocolate bean!

What Does All This Mean?

I will cut to the chase. The fact is that Chocolate is a “food of the Gods” as the Aztecs named it. Unfortunately we are talking about it in its raw form, grown in a pristine environment. While chocolate absorbs toxins and led from its surrounds, it is in manufacturing that most of the nutrition is lost and dangerous chemicals in the form of refined sugar, flavouring, saturated fats and lead are added, so much so that the chocolate we purchase from the supermarket is a junk food!

Recently, companies are going back to nature and rediscovering organic, raw chocolate. They are bringing products to market that enable us to go back to the original health qualities of this amazing bean. chocolate is a new concept soon to be released which contains pure raw cocoa, plus a hyperpotent almond based extract to enhance your mood. Brain scans before and after eating this product show a definite mood change! Finally 5 drops of Activated liquid Zeolite, the master detoxifier of heavy metals and toxins are added to each piece.

How Do I Benefit?

Well, you get a maintenance amount of zeolite to keep toxins at bay in just two servings of Chava. You get all the good stuff from the Cocoa Bean without the bad stuff from Chocolate bars. You can be assured that you won’t get lead poisoning from the chocolate you eat. No one else wants to talk about lead in the food, because almost every food has some!

John Gaydon is a Network marketer with a keen interest in Natural Health. His journey started when to go away! A trip to the Naturopath fixed it in a few days by detoxification and since then he has investigated and studied many products and ideas. In Activated Liquid Zeolite, he believes he has found possibly the best product for detoxing at a cellular level. The addition of organic free trade chocolate with zeolite drops  creates a delicious treat that is extremely high in antioxidant value, with the added detoxing benefits of Liquid Zeolite.

    I guess you live in the USA and am wondering as to whether the chava is available in Australia as that is where I live.
    I believe that as far as chocolate goes the bad things are exactly as you describe them. I do not eat animal products, abstain from smoking and alcohol and wonder as to what I can do to make cocoa palatable.

    I had no idea that chocolate from the supermarket contained lead. This is quite disturbing. I gather with this new organic type chocolate, you are meant to have it sparingly otherwise I imagine you would have weight problems. Everything in moderation? I am guessing you mean this new chocolate does not get you addicted. Or in the perfect world can the lead in supermarket chocolate cause weight gain???

  3. Bryce Swadling on Thu, 20th May 2010 11:24 am 

    Sounds like a great product that will make detoxification a real pleasure.
    I would like to be associated with it.
    I love chocolate and who doesn’t?

  4. John Gaydon on Thu, 20th May 2010 7:10 pm 

    HI Maggie, Thanks for the comment. One chocolate company is in trouble with the TGA in Australia for making weight loss claims for their chocolate! While this new Chave Chocolate is a superfood, you simply eat a few squares a day. There is more than lead in supermarket chocolate and yes, your body can create fat cells to store lead and reduce toxicity in your body! Raw Cocoa itself is not fattening. It is the other rubbish in procesed chocolate that is the problem here!

  5. John Gaydon on Thu, 20th May 2010 7:14 pm 

    Good news Bob. I live in Australia! I have everyone who has left a comment on my list and will be contcting you as soon as I get my first pack of Chava! I am sure you will live a long vital life with your lifestyle. You will find that Chava is extremely palatable. For everyone who is wondering, it does contain raw sugar and raw sugar is good for you. It is the refined white nutritionless version that causes many health problems. Raw coca is bitter, and few will eat it.

  6. Judith Day on Thu, 20th May 2010 7:21 pm 

    I live In Australia. I have found the information provided invaluable. The idea of combinine the two sounds fantastic

  7. Don Beggs on Sun, 23rd May 2010 7:04 am 

    Hi John
    I made a comment earlier while I was investigating this web site. Anyway I will repeat in case you didn’t get it. I am on a six month lot of chemotherapy, and finish in late August. When that happens I will be looking to go onto an alternative such as Zeolite to help me with my cancer. And I absolutely love chocolate, so I will put my hand up for a sample when you receive your shipment. Beyond that I will be looking to go onto a course (but not chemo) to help me with my cancer.
    Kind Regards,
    Don Beggs, Central Coast, NSW 2259

  8. John Gaydon on Wed, 9th Jun 2010 12:02 am 

    Hi Don,

    Thanks for taking the time to leave a comment. You certainly should read my article on cancer. Just type zeolite cancer into google and you will find it. I look forward to sending you a Chava sample as soon as it arrives.

  9. Robin Gromel on Thu, 10th Jun 2010 11:47 am 

    I would love to hear more about this. I love the idea of healthly chocolate.

  10. John Gaydon on Sat, 12th Jun 2010 7:38 pm 

    I just received my supply of Chava. The company is so generous and convinced this will be a hit they send some free samples to share with all of you.

  11. gina on Sun, 13th Jun 2010 11:36 pm 

    What a lovely idea, combining zeolite, with the taste of mouth watering dark chocolate….. it will be a real pleasure to try this product and i wait in anticipation for my free trial…

  12. Antoinette on Mon, 14th Jun 2010 2:30 am 

    Hi John, I have a 16 y.o. with Raynauds Disease, would this chocolate be something that may help her?

    Also, I have a 71 y.o. mother that has terminal cancer with only 2-3 month life expectancy, not sure if you can offer advice on this.

    The cancer in primarily breast cancer that has matatistised to the liver.

  13. John Gaydon on Tue, 15th Jun 2010 2:50 am 

    HI Antoinette,

    I really can’t say if this will help. I know that our zeolite product removes toxins and balances pH and has helped many people regain their health.

    It makes sense to me that your first stop is to get toxins out fo the body.

    You can read more at http://detoxzeolite.com

  14. Tricia stokes on Wed, 16th Jun 2010 2:34 am 

    John,Thank you so much for the sample of Chava Chocolate. This is SERIOUSLY AMAZING Chocolate !!! It is rich, dark , and tastes of almonds. It’s certainly not for scoffing, and after taking time to slowly enjoy 2 pieces, I know I be ordering it ASAP, and I will be promoting it in my clients. My clinic is overflowing with positive outcomes from people using zeolite and I cant wait to introduce the twin benefits of Chava. Thanks again John !!

    PS In reply to Antoinette, I would suggest she does some form of Heavy metal testing, for the 16 year old with Raynauds. You will be surprised at what you find.

  15. Antoinette on Wed, 16th Jun 2010 6:46 am 

    Thanks Tricia and John, how would I do the heavy metal testing? What is the best way to test for this?

  16. John Gaydon on Sat, 19th Jun 2010 5:32 am 

    Hi Antoinette. I think I answered that. A Hair test is best. You can do that at interclinical laboratories in Sydney. Google the name and you will find them. Give them a call and they will send a pack with full instructions on what to do.

    This will give a good assessment of toxins and vitamin and mineral levels. These are afected by toxins in the body. Once you avhe a baseline, I would suggest 30 drops of our Zeolite a day for 4-5 months and then retest. I would be very surprised if you don’t notice a significant difference in that time.

    Testing proves our product works.

    Hope that helps.

    calcium panthothenate supplements are also known to make the nails and hair healther and stronger`-’

  18. michael on Mon, 2nd Aug 2010 5:59 pm 

    A sweet cocoa bean? Really?

  19. John Gaydon on Mon, 2nd Aug 2010 11:06 pm 

    Well, the fruit is sweet! There is some raw cane sugar in it or we couldn’t eat it at all! I am very impressed at how i feel after using this though.

  20. John Gaydon on Mon, 2nd Aug 2010 11:08 pm 

    I am sure there are many supplements that improve all sorts of things. Siple answer, get what isn’t supposed to be there out of the body (zeolite) and put good nutrition in there (chocolate) and you ar well on the way to a healthy life. We so llike to complicate things when life is often very simple! Go Chava.

  21. jenny on Mon, 9th Aug 2010 2:37 am

  23. Greg & Katharine on Sun, 22nd Aug 2010 5:23 am 

    Hi John we also live in the land of oz and first came across Zeolite when researching natural cures for kaths cancer [lung,liver,lymp and bowel cancer] as convetional medicine could only prolong the agoney with no hope of cure as chocaholic this would be a great boost for not only her taste buds but helping in riddening this illness so please let us know when its available thanks Greg

  24. John Gaydon on Sun, 12th Sep 2010 10:08 pm 

    Hi Jenny, Chava is available now. If you would like to contact me, I can help you get a supply.

  25. A Senior Citizen Guide for College on Tue, 5th Oct 2010 5:23 am 

    I did not realize the powerful antioxidants were contained in chocolate. I will have to do further research on this. Thanks

  26. Lesley on Mon, 18th Oct 2010 10:44 pm 

    I’ve left my details to get a sample if you have some because I would love to make myself more healtier and the things you have told me have opened my eyes to how amazing your chocolate superfood is..

  27. John Gaydon on Tue, 19th Oct 2010 10:20 pm 

    HI Lesley,

    Thanks for your lovely words. Your chocolate sample will be on its way to you very soon. Make sure you let it melt in your mouth to appreciate the flavour!

  28. Natural Vitamins : on Mon, 25th Oct 2010 1:57 am 

    i have very weak nails that easily cracks, my sister suggested that i take biotin and vitamin-B’s to have strong nails`~`

  29. John Gaydon on Thu, 25th Nov 2010 1:06 am 

    You would be surprised how well the nails get with Activated Liquid Zeolite taken over a few months. One of mine had all but fallen off and now you can’t tell it was damaged. Not bad for a 58 year old! http://detoxzeolite.com for more information.

  30. janice schutt on Sat, 1st Jan 2011 10:43 pm 

    what about diabetes

  31. Debbie on Wed, 25th May 2011 7:17 am 

    Hi John, got your details from Chris in Perth. My daughter is 11 years old and has had chronic fatigue for 3 1/2 years. She also has coeliac disease. Please can I get the zeolite drops as these will be stronger than the chava chocolate to begin with. Please advise? Many thanks. Debbie
