Why Chocolate??

Dark Chocolate - is a potent antioxidant, reports Mauro Serafini, PhD, or Italy's National Institute for
Food and Nutrition Research in Rome, and colleagues.  Their report appears in the August 28 issue of Nature .  
Antioxidants gobble up free radicals, destructive molecules that are implicated in heart disease and other ailments. Each piece of TRU Chocolate has an ORAC value of 3040 pts.

Chocolate is one tropical superfood no one in North America has trouble pronouncing. Scientists seem to be just as addicted to the quest for chocolate's health benefits as consumers are to the sweet itself. Chocolate's heart-protective benefits come from the high flavonoid content of the cocoa bean. Chocolate flavanoids (plant compounds with antioxidant activity) may help lower blood pressure, according to a 2007 report in the Journal of the American Medical Association.

TRU Chocolate Components

Organic Cocoa Liqueur - It's produced by grinding the cocoa bean nib (center) to a smooth, liquid state. The Cocoa liqueur can then be cooled and molded into blocks.

Organic Cocoa Butter - also called theobroma oil , is the edible natural fat of the cacao bean, extracted during the process of making chocolate and cocoa powder.

Xylitol - Xylitol is a white crystalline substance that looks and tastes like sugar. It is a popular sweetener for the diabetic diet. Xylitol is right here, inside, already. Our bodies produce up to 15 grams of xylitol from other food sources using established energy pathways. Xylitol is not a strange or artificial substance, but a normal part of everyday metabolism. Xylitol is a toothfriendly sugar. In addition to not encouraging tooth decay (by replacing dietary sugars), Xylitol may actively aid in repairing minor cavities caused by dental caries. Xylitol also appears to have potential as a treatment for
osteoporosis and help control oral infections of Candida yeast. Xylitol, like most sugar alcohols, can have a laxative effect and has no apparent ill effects.

All Natural Toxin Free Ingredients: Organic Cocoa Liqueur, Organic Cocoa Butter,Xylitol, Proprietary Herbal Formula, Natural Vanilla Extract and Organic Lecitin.A proprietary blend containing Momordica, Charantia, Dehydrated Noni Fruit, Bioflavonoids (Citrus Extract), Ellagic Acid (from pomegranate), Green Tea Extract,Fabanol�** and Bioperine�** (from black pepper).

The after-taste is an advantage. It induces drinking which is very important for weight loss and the body, and because it makes water
taste sweet, one can drink simple water instead of soda or juice and hydrate the body.

ORAC stands for Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity.ORAC measures the ability of just about any substance to subdue oxygen free radicals in the test tube. In short, ORAC is a lab assay that can measure the antioxidant activity of any substance and give it a number.
The higher the ORAC number - the stronger the antioxidant properties of the substance.

The National Institute on Aging developed the ORAC method and the US Department of Agriculture and Brunswick Labs have been instrumental in perfecting the ORAC assay procedure and testing various foods to determine ORAC levels.

While the exact science behind ORAC gets beyond the scope of this article, it is clear that if you want foods with greater antioxidant properties, you look for foods with high ORAC levels. The USDA recommends we consume 3,000 to 5,000 ORAC units daily. In truth, 80% of the population is consuming less than 1,000 ORAC units a day.

The USDA recommended "5-a-day" fruit and vegetable servings will give you an ORAC score of about 1,750 units. Fruits and vegetables tend to have the highest ORAC values. Per 100 grams - Apples score a 218, Bananas a 221, blueberries 2,400.

TRU Chocolate has ORAC RATING of 3,040 per piece!
