Contrary to popular belief, chocolate is not a "junk" food or bad for the human body. In actuality, cacao beans, from which chocolate is derived, are exceptionally good for you! Research has shown that there are over 300 chemically identifiable compounds in cacao beans, making it one of the most complex superfoods on planet Earth! Among some of these beneficial chemicals are, dopamine, which works as a neurotransmitter, tryptophan, an anti-depressant, and anandamide, a bliss chemical.

In its raw state, this much loved treat is an incredible source of magnesium and is higher in antioxidants than most foods. So when you’re in need of a mid-afternoon pick me up or a late-night aphrodisiac, cacao is sure to satisfy you, both physically and mentally.

"Every study on chocolate is pointing to the same conclusion: there is something in chocolate that is really good for us. That something is the raw cacao bean, the nut that all chocolate is made from. The cacao bean has always been and will always be Nature’s #1 weight loss and high-energy food. Cacao beans are probably the best kept secret in the entire history of food."
— David Wolfe, co-author of Naked Chocolate: The Astonishing Truth About The World’s Greatest Food.

Chocolate grows on trees… All chocolate comes from cacao beans, the seeds of the cacao fruit, which grows on a jungle tree. Cacao beans taste like dark chocolate, because they are dark chocolate!

Side note: It may taste good but some research shows that washing your chocolate down with a glass of milk could prevent the antioxidants being absorbed or used by your body.
