When you compare the health benefits of cacao to vegetables, like broccoli or kale, the results might be surprising!
Different foods have what’s called an ORAC score that measures antioxidant activity. The higher the score, the better that food fights free radicals in your body.
According to Wikipedia (via Wikiwand), Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity (ORAC) was a method of measuring antioxidant capacities in biological samples in vitro. Because no physiological proof in vivo existed in support of the free-radical theory or that ORAC provided information relevant to biological antioxidant potential, it was withdrawn in 2012.
Various foods were tested using this method, with certain spices, berries and legumes rated highly in extensive tables once published by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA). Alternative measurements include the Folin-Ciocalteu reagent, and the Trolox equivalent antioxidant capacity assay.
Cacao Health Benefits
Get this…
- Broccoli has an ORAC score of 890
- Kale has an ORAC score of 1,770
- But raw cacao powder has an ORAC antioxidant score of 95,500
That’s nearly 107X MORE free-radical fighting-power than broccoli!
Now obviously you’re never going to eat a spoonful of raw cacao powder. That would be almost as bad as eating a spoonful of cinnamon. 🙂
But what if you could get ALL the antioxidant power of cacao in a smooth chocolatey drink you could enjoy multiple times a day — even before bed? And what if that chocolatey drink had additional superfood ingredients to…
