Why not offer more chocolatey magic...some spicy hot chocolate... some decadent espresso chocolate? It's 1000 times more powerful than green tea as an antioxidant food! Raw cocoa beans contain over 300 chemically identifiable compounds. This makes cocoa one of the most complex food substances on Earth! These compounds include: Anandamide (a neurotransmitter known as "the bliss chemical") Arginine (nature's aphrodisiac) Dopamine (a neurotransmitter) Epicatechins (antioxidants) Magnesium (for healthy heart function) Serotonin (anti-stress neurotransmitter) Tryptophan (anti-depressant amino acid) Phenylethylamine (PEA) (controls the ability to focus attention and stay alert) Polyphenols (antioxidants) ....
