Cocoa Health Benefits..A Unique Compound In The Beans Could Eradicate Killer Diseases!

Cocoa Health Benefits

The potential health benefits of cocoa could go as far as stopping killer diseases.

Want some proof?

Norman Hollenberg is a professor at Harvard Medical School, and he has spent many years studying th Kuna people in Panama. He discovered that the four biggest and most common killers..cancer, stroke, diabetes, heart disease..affected fewer than one in ten of the Kuna.

The secret, or rather key to these health benefit claims are down to the high levels something called epicatechin found in unrefined cocoa.

Hollenberg claims epicatechin is so important that it should be considered a vitamin.

So, here we have an amazing compound that can potentially wipe out four of the five most common diseases in the Western world. Phew..epicatechin is definitely something that deserves our full attention.

Looking at this logically, we have a link between high epicatechin consumption and a decreased risk of killer diseases. So is it fair to conclude that these common diseases could simply be down to epicatechin deficiency?

Epicatechin, a flavanol or antioxidant, is also found in tea, wine, chocolate and some fruits and vegetables.

Flavanols are inclined to have a bitter taste, and for that reason are sadly removed from commercial cocoas. So, for starters, all the goodness has been removed from your mug of cocoa! Then, if that wasn't enough, the milk and sugar with which they are commonly drunk, also detracts from their health-giving properties.
