Cacao has also also been shown to improve stem cell function. "Participants who drank the high-flavanol beverage had twice as many stem cells in their circulation compared to the people who drank the low- flavanol cocoa, showing that the more flavanols contained in the product, the more stem cell benefits it boasts." Great video didn't know about the Cadmium

Dr. Van Dyken you are awesome thank you soooo much! I'm adding cocoa powder to my coffee, which I've also recently begun to supercharge with herbs/spices! I'm using turmeric and and tiny bit of black pepper, cinnamon, ginger, also a teeny bit of clove and cayenne... and I like it a little sweet so I add a bit of stevia (whole ground leaf). Sometimes I lighten it up with a nut or oat beverage. --- I also will just eat a 1/4 teaspoon or so along with some banana or date -and nuts. I think of it as making a candy bar in my mouth. 🤣I love that cocoa powder is such a tasty and inexpensive way to boost nitric oxide!! 💪💚

I really love this channel! Dr Van Dyken, thank you so much for all that you do. You provide us with valuable, cutting edge information. I first heard about how to increase nitric oxide from your channel. Similarly, I first heard about urolithin A here. And this video on cacao is the best I've seen. By the way, I recently discovered that a cocoa plus turmeric drink doesn't taste bad! Two of my favourites in one drink! My only very mild criticism is that, like most doctors, you focus more on discouraging saturated fat consumption, rather than on sugar (especially fructose) and most polyunsaturated oils (seed oils high in omega-6 linoleic acid) as the major culprits in inflammation. And it's a bit ironic because cacao is one of very few plant foods that's actually high in saturated fats.

Dr. Van Dyken, thank you so much for your videos! Loving the videos on NO and dealing with hypertension. Now, I am trying to include cacao as well. You mentioned the suggestion/recommendation of CocoaVia's CardioHealth as a Cacao without cadmium. I appreciate that. After starting to include this cacao power into my routine, I noticed the ingredience includes cocao processed with alkali. I've searched that alkali meaned dutched processing. I've seen other videos from another YT influencer, who is a heart doctor by training, says this process removes all the helpful polyphenols. For now, I think 90% dark chocolate is better than nothing, but I am confused how/if dutch processing matters.
@kyles5513
Жыл бұрын
Cacao is the purest form and is made by cold pressing. Once heat is used to roast it is turned into cocoa and heat destroys almost all of the antioxidants. If it's dutch processed then it's regular cocoa with basically no health benefits, but tastes better for baking.
