| It is a common misconception that chocolate is bad for you. That it can make you sluggish, fat and eventually kill you. Quite the opposite is true. Recent science has shown that people who eat chocolate actually live longer than those who don't. This is especially true with relatively unprocessed chocolate such as The Doctors Chocolate. This science all started coming about quite recently with the people from the island of Kuna in Panama.The Kuna Islanders and ChocolateScientists became very interested in the Kuna Islanders when they realized that the death rate on the island from heart disease and cancer was significantly lower than that of those living on the mainland. In fact the death rate from heart disease is less than 8% than those on the mainland and the death rate from cancer is less than 16%. You can see why the scientists were so interested in finding out why these people were living so long. At first they dismissed it as genetics, but then realized that those islanders who moved to the mainland became just as unhealthy as the rest of us. They studied the islanders in more depth and found that the Kuna islanders were drinking four to five cups of natural, freshly ground chocolate,(like what is found in The Doctors Chocolate) every day. Instead of being overweight, sick and sluggish, these people were some of the healthiest people they had ever seen. So scientists wanted to know what was in this chocolate that made it so healthy. The answer became obvious pretty quickly, antioxidants.Chocolate, One of the Richest Sources of AntioxidantsMost of us have heard that antioxidants are good for you, but what do antioxidants do? To put it simply, antioxidants get rid of the free radicals in our bodies that attack DNA, damage the cell membranes and our hearts making cancer and heart attacks far more likely. Free radicals attack our cell structure and are the cause of aging. So the more antioxidants you eat, the longer you are likely to live. Antioxidants are found in many natural plants and you can tell how rich they are in antioxidants by the color. The deeper the color, the more antioxidants the food contains. For example, blackberries, blueberries and red grapes all dark in color, all rich in intense antioxidants. Now look at the color of natural chocolate, it is so dark it is almost black, making it one of the healthiest foods you can put in your mouth. Keep in mind this is natural chocolate that has not been overly processed. The Doctors Chocolate is one such chocolate that you can feel great about eating.Not only can you live longer by eating The Doctors Chocolate, you can make money by becoming a distributor as well. Just think, the more people you tell about The Doctors Chocolate, the more you get to eat for free!
