The Ultimate Antioxidant
Reduce Free Radicals for Optimal Health Using Xoçai™ the Healthy Chocolate
ANTIOXIDANTS:
Antioxidants are chemicals with extra electrons that work on a cellular level to fight and prevent oxidative damage. Antioxidants found in fruits, vegetables, and dark chocolate offer the most effective solution when it comes to slowing down the process of free radical damage.
ORAC VALUE:
The Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity Value, or ORAC Value, measures the antioxidant power of a specific food, such as chocolate. The ORAC value is a measure of the food's ability to absorb and neutralize oxygen-free radicals found in the body.
XOCAI:
Xoçai™ healthy chocolate is made of a potent blend of all-natural cacao beans and antioxidant rich Açaí berries. Together, this powerful duo holds the greatest antioxidant combination known to man! The unique blend of antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients found in Xoçai™ healthy dark chocolate is known by many to combat telltale signs of aging, such as memory loss, weight gain, and chronic diseases such as high cholesterol, heart disease, arthritis, cancer, multiple sclerosis, and much more. In addition, Xoçai™ healthy chocolate contains no artificial colors, flavors, preservatives or sweeteners, making it a healthy treat for vegetarians, vegans, children, and those with certain health conditions.
WARNING!
ALL CHOCOLATE IS NOT CREATED EQUAL
There is a wide variety of chocolate on the market today, with many brands containing as much as 70%, 80%, or 85% Cacao. In fact, Xocai Chocolate also contains up to 85% Cacao.
The difference between Xocai Chocolate and the other brands of chocolate available today is the amount of flavonoids present in the finished product. Because Xocai is produced using a patented cold-pressed process, these antioxidants are retained in the chocolate. 'Candied' chocolate is produced by the 'dutching' process (cooking), which reduces the vast majority of antioxidants available. Therefore, even though a product will contain a high percentage of cacao, it does not necessarily contain a large amount of flavonoids.
Recent studies on Cacao have concluded that best results were obtained by consuming 600-900mg of Total Flavonoids (Polyphenols), plant based antioxidants that help the body's cells resist damage by free radicals.
Below is the packaging of a dark chocolate that contains 86% Cacao. From viewing the bottom left of the photo you will see the package states that this chocolate contains 156mg of Polyphenols per 50g serving (312mg of Polyphenols in the entire 100g candy chocolate). The Xocai Power Squares contain more than three times the Polyphenols (1008mg) in only 18g of chocolate!
A recent study (August 11, 2008) from Natural Products Insider explains in more detail about Flavanoids and Polyphenols. Please click on the link below to review this article.
As a general rule, the darker the chocolate, the more likely it is to offer health benefits. Because polyphenols are found in the cocoa bean, not in the milk, cream, sugar, or other additives added to many chocolate confections, the darker the chocolate the better. More importantly is to find chocolate products that are processed without "dutching" or alkalinization. These processes remove a significant portion of antioxidant compounds in natural cocoa. They should also have been cold-pressed without heat as heat can also destroy cocoa's polyphenols. Xocai products are cold-pressed without alkalinization therefore offering increased polyphenols.

Antioxidants are most effective if consumed throughout the day to keep the antioxidant level high in our bloodstream. The reality is that most people simply don't consume enough raw vegetables & fruits throughout the day.
