SIDE EFFECTS OF DRINKING CACAO EVERYDAY…☕️ ((MUST WATCH))

Summary

The presenter discusses drinking cacao as an alternative to conventional hot chocolate, sharing claimed health benefits and her personal experience. Despite the video title, it focuses mainly on benefits and does not substantially discuss potential side effects.

Cacao vs. Cocoa

She describes cacao as a less-processed form of chocolate, while cocoa is often heat-processed and may contain added sugar, milk fat, oils, or artificial flavours. She notes that cacao can taste bitter on its own.

Benefits She Attributes to Cacao

The presenter says cacao contains magnesium, antioxidants, and minerals, and may support blood flow, heart health, mood, brain function, and skin. These are claims based on her research, not established personal medical advice.

Chocolate Cravings

She suggests that chocolate cravings may be related to magnesium deficiency and sugar. She says she no longer craves chocolate, which she also attributes to using magnesium spray and reducing refined sugar.

Her Experience

She reports drinking two to three cups of cacao most evenings for several months and feeling healthier, clearer-minded, and more in control of her thoughts. She acknowledges that these changes may not be due to cacao alone.

Evening-Drink Routine

She began drinking cacao as a replacement for decaffeinated tea. She also shares concerns about the chemical decaffeination process but does not name a specific source.

Simple Cacao Drink Recipe

1. Stir a heaped teaspoon of cacao into about half a cup of hot water.
2. Mix thoroughly, as cacao may clump or resist dissolving.
3. Add about a teaspoon of honey, adjusting to taste.
4. Fill the rest of the cup with soy milk.

Buying Advice

She recommends trying a small amount of a new superfood before buying in bulk. She mentions Natori cacao from Sainsbury’s and bulk cacao from Seven Hills Wholefoods.
