        Hey! I’ve heard some people say that dark chocolate is healthy, and I really want to believe them because, let’s be honest, who doesn’t love chocolate? 🙂 But it does still contain at least some sugar…and sugar is something I really ought to be avoiding…. Is there any truth to this ”healthy chocolate” rumor?

          Cacao (the plant comes from) does have some good medicinal and nutritional benefits. It also makes tasty candy. I’ll do a lesson on it. :0)

          I was in Honduras once and stumbled on a little shop. The had the cacao trees in the backyard and were hand grinding teh beans with a stone mortar and pestal and making the most astounding chocolate I ever had.

          Don't use herbs or combine herbs with medications or use them during lactation or pregnancy without talking with your healthcare provider.

              Love chocolate! Yes, Dr. Jones. Please do a lesson on chocolate and cacao.  Maybe we can all enjoy a nice cup of it while we watch you. It’ll be fun!
