I’m combining it with nutmeg in an antidepressant elixir. Nutmeg is a beautiful spice and ally if treated with respect. Cacao is bound to be a good pairing. I’m not a big caffeine fan, I love the taste of coffee but hate the jitters.

[@TristWallace]

Dark chocolate has anandamide in it which is a cannabinoid linked to pleasure reward systems. That's why it's pleasurable. Theobromine is just a small part of it.

[@kjell159]

And phenethylamine apparently. I took 1,5 grams of phenethylamine at once lately, holy moly, after about 15 minutes it kicked in and made my heart race and my whole body tingle, while moving felt like living in light cotton, effortless. I never did any other amphetamines (except for bupropion if that counts), but I'm pretty sure these were similar physical effects as one might get from speed and XTC. But I never experienced that with chocolate though, not even when eating 300 grams of dark chocolate at once. Cacao also contains a FAAH- (an enzyme that metabolizes endocannabinoids) inhibitor, which might enhance the bodies own cannabinoids their activity. But the only real 'buzz'/slight high I ever got from cacao was by snorting a couple of lines of pure cacao powder. But that might as well have been a placebo buzz, especially as it was only very shortlived. Had similar effects with less then 200 mg snorted crushed caffeine tablet. Native Americans used cacao as an entheogen, I guess raw cacao might work better for this purpose, but there are other herbs (like nutmeg, sage, leonorus, wild lettuce, kanna, kratom, etc.) with waaay stronger psychoactive effects.

[@yehoshuaa8329]

TW No it doesn’t, anandamide is endogenous to the human body and isn’t found anywhere else in nature. Some alkaloids and simply facilitate the release or prevent the breakdown of anandamide i.e. kaempferol & theobromine

Great video Thomas. I have your courses on diet and fitness and I really appreciate all the knowledge you present! It's made a big difference in my health.

[@PN.mod20]

From my experience with cacao powder I learned you have to eat it 10 hours before going to sleep in order for the therobromine to get out of your blood stream. I consumed the cacao powder it in the afternoon and evening and after two weeks I was exhausted and could barely stay awake during the day. Once I researched it and found the theobromine issue I added cacao to my breakfast, drinking it or adding it to oatmeal, and I began to sleep well again. So...you really have to have cacao or dark chocolate before noon to prevent it from really messing up your sleep patterns and making you miserable.

[@galaxylucia1898]

It shoots up the adrenals which is what makes everyone feel so wrecked after. Causes stress hormones, it's really not good in excessive consumption. I ate so much cacao thinking it was good for me and it causes inflammation and made me feel wired then completely burnt out.

People should say MAY more... if your body is out of balance, your hormones dont work etc etc you wont feel any bliss from cacao... you simply dont and i speak from experience. Ive had cacao and felt like shit (all about the dose too) Once i mixed cacao with MDMA man....i thought neuotransmitter+neurotransmitter, lots of fun. And it was! But what i didnt know about was serotonin syndrom and that combining the two are dangerous and shouid not be done...

😅I put cocoa powder in my black coffee to prevent caffeine crash. When caffeine dissipates theobromine takes over to give me a mellow alertness without the crash. When caffeine and theobromine combined with CBD oil it offsets the drowsiness effect of CBD oil to give you the best psychological mellowness and pain relief of CBD and alertness of caffeine and theobromine. I get the best of all worlds in these three compounds without other medication which has unwanted side effects on cognition. This drink without sugar also prevents me from feeling hungry and helps me stay in ketosis longer without suffer hunger urges. Combined with olive and coconut oil really helped reduced insulin resistance causing belly fat and a general feeling of health and wellness.

The dried beans are roasted to create more flavor, and finally, made into chocolate products!

Great information but I think many people still misunderstand what dark chocolate really is. For example a Hershey’s special contains milk and has a very low cacao ratio.

Can we take theobromine supplements?

[@evanm2305]

1.45 - I think this may be a little incorrect the way youve phrased it. There are multiple adenosine receptor subtypes in CNS - caffeine is an antagonist of these receptors - which block them like you said. HOWEVER - adenosine would activate these receptors, not block them like you were saying. adenosine receptor activation, specifically 1 and 2a subtypes (as per wiki, I dont walk around carrying specifics on subtypes of adenosine receptors in my head) is thought to increase fatigue. So antagonising these receptors - via xanthine derivitives reduces this fatigue, like you were saying. I think you just mis-worded how adenosine works. Maybe add a little note or something over the vid :) hope this helps. good video otherwise

also - diuretics increase diuresis - i.e urine production. not gastric emptying - totally separate.

[@Wavedancerone]

How much fat/cocao butter or added oils were in the chocolate in the story? Fat definitely reduces insulin sensitivity.

[@GrowingDownUnder]

You should mention that chocolate on it's own in small amounts is okay...however nobody has a small amount of chocolate I guarantee everyone eats more than the recommended daily dose. Now combine that with the consumption of tea/coffee...I was drinking 2 tea's a day and eating 4-6 chocolates I got theobromine poisoning and almost died plus the effects of caffeine on my heart was unbearable felt like extreme anxiety when I just had fast heart rate. You should never eat chocolate everyday and if you do don't eat it with tea or coffee or any other source of theobromine/caffeine...and don't eat more than the daily recommended amount.

[@Kekeslicious]

hmm, I like to add a pinch of cocoa powder to my oatmeal or coffee so I don't think I'll overdose by doing that ;p

NB: Sick of uneducated people telling me MILK chocolate is lethal for dogs. Dogs and milk chocolate varies, but on average, a 10kg dog would need to eat 1kg of milk chocolate to die. That is why it hardly ever happens and is virtually a myth, and an old wive's tale. However, it's possibly half that (500g) for dark chocolate - so, still unlikely. The lethal dose of theobromine for dogs is 100-500mg per kg of dog, so it all depends on the chocolate's theobromine concentration. The absolute worst case scenario would be a 10kg theobromine-sensitive dog dying from eating 200g of milk chocolate with the maximum amount of theobromine (half the amount of dark chocolate, which is extremely unlikely, as it's mostly milk). A 10kg theobromine-tolerant dog could eat up to 5kg of minimal theobromine milk chocolate! Theobromine is lethal to humans too - but you'd need to eat about 25kg of milk chocolate to die LOL.
