Does unroasted make a difference, I have even seen just one being sold online as unfermented. Wonder if it has higher antixodants or the oppsite does the fermentation and roasting actually increase the bioavaiblility?

[@AntlerFarms]

@@alexcontreras6103 roasting cacao beans improves flavor but destroys its antioxidants. Fermenting the beans gives cacao its flavor and increases bioavailability. Our cacao is pure, raw and fermented.

@@AntlerFarms, I have noticed that some kind of cacao/ chocolate cause migraine attack more than others. I know that fermentation of the cacao beans higher the tannin in them. Is there any good info that help me to find the right cacao? Thanks in advance!

Right now, I'm buying a 90% dark chocolate bar , and I put 3 large squares into 8 oz of hot water with hazelnut cream. This makes me feel wonderful. I don't add anything else, and the cream is sugar-free. I allow 1 a day. My caffeine intake is gone ,I don't shake. I definitely know my body, and I am doing keto, and I've continued to keep losing weight. My question is, is it better to use raw cacoa or buy the nibs.? What about fermented Cacoa seeds ? I.

There is nothing on the Antler website about heavy metals or whether their products are third party tested for lead and cadmium. There can be unhealthy levels of lead and cadmium in raw cacao. Also, cacao grown in Africa has less lead and cadmium than cacao grown in South America.

[@jesusisgod2953]

The Gospel, which means the Good News is the news that God Almighty, the Creator came in the flesh as Jesus Christ to take away the sin of the world. The one God is a trinity of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. The Son came and laid down his own life to save ours. His sacrifice on the cross paid the price for our redemption with his own blood. On the third day he rose from dead and offers the gift of salvation and forgiveness to those that repent and trust in him. John 1:1,14 KJV In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and THE WORD WAS GOD. [14] And THE WORD WAS MADE FLESH, and dwelt among us, 1 John 3:8 KJV He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil. Isaiah 9:6 KJV For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty GOD, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. John 1:10 He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and THE WORLD KNEW HIM NOT. John 3:18 KJV He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

Which is better Raw or Roasted Cacao?

[@ohsok1746]

Raw is. Once you roast cacao you reduce the nutrient value.

[@MarilynFromTarotClarity]

Does mixing natural cacao powder with hot water destroy any health benefits?

[@bradford_shaun_murray]

I don't pour hot water over the raw cacao. I think pouring boiling water over it would not help. It would be like cooking it (turning cacao into cocoa). I put the cacao and raw sugar into the cup first. Then add cold raw milk to about half way and stir. Then lastly pour in the hot water slowly whilst still stirring it so then you're not hitting the cacao with that hot water on its own first up, it's buffered against the hot water by the cold milk. I think it tastes better putting the milk in before the hot water as well, seems to taste smoother. Or you could also turn off the kettle before it fully boils or do 50 50 cold and hot water. But the cold milk first is the way to go.

[@MarilynFromTarotClarity]

@@bradford_shaun_murray Thank you. That's what I've been doing and I'm glad to know it's probably the correct way.

[@kylieliddell4983]

Omg please please clear up the ‘Dutched’ processed organic cacao vs ‘non Dutched’ organic cacao for us all. I’ve been consuming a lot of organic 100% cacao powder and have recently read that Dutched cacao is processed with chemicals accepted by the FDA for organic use but those chemicals cause all the diseases that non Dutched cacao helps to rid us of. My Cacao does not state either and I’m worried about consuming it. Could you pleaaaaase do an episode on this issue. I think we are being taken advantage of by the system once again. If it’s true 😮then the Dutching process is weaponising a substance that on its own is soooo beneficial to us and has been for thousands of years. It’s criminal intent
