Stimulant or Superfood? Cacao Superfood

http://www.superfoodhealthyliving.com/article-Marine-Phytoplankton.html

Cacao contains subtle amounts of caffeine and theobromine. However, experiments have shown that these stimulants are far different when consumed raw than cooked.

Consider the following: Experimental provings of chocolate by Homeopaths indicate its stimulating effect when cooked. One experiment conducted with a decoction of roasted ground cacao beans in boiling water produced an excitement of the nervous system similar to that caused by black coffee, an excited state of circulation, and an accelerated pulse.

Interestingly, when the same decoction was made with raw, unroasted beans neither effect was noticeable, leading the provers to conclude that the physiological changes were caused by aromatic substances released during roasting.

MAO Inhibitors

Cacao seems to diminish appetite, probably due to its monoamine oxidase enzyme inhibitors (MAO inhibitors) - these are different from digestiveenzyme inhibitors found in most nuts and seeds. These rare MAO inhibitors actually produce favorable results when consumed by allowing more serotonin and other neurotransmitters to circulate in the brain. MAO inhibitors facilitate youthening and rejuvenation.

Phenylethylamine (PEA)

Phenylethylamine (PEA) is found in chocolate. PEA is an adrenal-relatedchemical that is also created within the brain and released when we are in love. This is one of the reasons why love and chocolate have a deep correlation. PEA also plays a role in increasing focus and alertness.

Anandamide (The Bliss Chemical)

A neurotransmitter called anandamide, has been isolated in cacao. Anandamide is also produced naturally in the brain. Anandamide is known as The Bliss Chemical because it is released while we are feeling great. Cacao contains enzyme inhibitors that decrease our bodies ability to breakdown anandamide. This means that natural anandamide and/or cacaoanandamide may stick around longer, making us feel good longer, when we eat cacao.

@hooperqi You are 100% right . I get dark cicles under my eyes when I drink a lot of caffeine or consumme gluten . Its like my body's signal to cut back . The natives on the Amazon NEVER ate raw cocao although they lived with it for thousands of years . Next someone will tell us that poison is the best cure for our skin problems .Wolfe is a smart guy , but he is a salesman first .

puti!

it gives me heart palpitations. It has wonderful health benefits, but for those new to cacao just beware that it is a stimulant, and especially if you have heart problems. Just make sure you take this stuff in moderation. Not trying to knock this stuff, I just think it's something good to know.

@MsVenaLuna Why not everyday? It contains a vast amount of neutrients and antioxidants along with theobromine a chemical much weaker yet structuraly simular to caffeine which acts as a very mild stimulant and diuretic. A diuretic if took with sufficient water to keep well hydrated will cleanse you kidneys and bowls. and it contains anandamide which binds to cb1 and cb2 receptors promoting hunger and a feeling of well being. Just eat it 6 hours before bed and you won't have insomnia.
