53: Chocolate: Health Benefits of Raw Cacao, Lead in Commercial Chocolate Brands and My favorite Nutrient-Rich, Guilt-Free Chocolate Candy Recipe
Eat chocolate! Well, the healthy kind anyway ;) Tune in for my top 10 reasons why raw cacao supports health. I don't know about you, but for me, life is too short not to enjoy some kind of chocolate. Turns out there is a guilt-free way to gain nutrients -- even stem cells -- from chocolate.
In this episode I talk about the difference between healthy candy and candy that is poisoning you with lead and cadmium.
I share my top 3 brands of chocolate that I would indulge in - if I'm buying it. And list a few brands to avoid.
