An excellent and informative presentation, as usual. It is interesting and important to learn about such a valuable and useful product. Very concise and professional as usual. Thanks from the UK.
Some brands have lower amounts of lead and cadmium and hence are better choices. Such as some dark chocolate products from: Ghirardelli, Mast, Taza and Valrhona (Abinao 85%). These are not easy to get in the UK though, apart from the latter. Not sure about Hu or Montezuma. However, both have published details stating that the levels in their products are acceptable according to EU standards - yet those levels are still very high. The bog standard dark chocolates in the large supermarket chains may have larger amounts. The CR stated that cacao sourced from West Africa and Asia - had less amounts of lead and cadmium than South America due to the soil in Africa and Asia having less deposits of lead and cadmium.
Oxalates?! Cmon guys just have some dairy bc the calcium binds them b4 gets to liver, maybe get some cheese in a mixed meal b4 ur choco dessert? Outstanding video, I love cacao nibs & 100% bar & pure cacao butter as lotion & cacao powder in shake, as an internal sunblock, all great stuff!
I LOVE to add 100% Raw Organic Cacao with my morning coffee with raw real "local" honey and LOVE it. 💕💕Around 2pm for an NRG boost I'll make a straight Raw Cacao with Honey and it's loaded with Niric oxide which is GR8 for blood flow. 🚀🚀Thanks for the FAB Vid Dr Van Dyken. 🙏🙏Pete Nth NSW Oz.
Thanks for the info!🦃 I would like to hear information about oxalates in cacao. I use nibs sparingly due to concern of kidney stones. I wish cacao manufacturers would include oxalate information on label.
It seems there has been some miss-information regarding Oxalates that has been published, as there are some comments relating to it have been posted. My understanding is that Oxalates are only a problem if your gut biome does not include Oxalate digesting bacterium such as Oxalobacter formigenes. This bacterium is found in all animals that consume Oxalates. Cattle, for example will get sick from eating clover (a member of Oxalis) if they lack sufficient quantities of Oxalobacter formigenes in their gut. Humans may lack Oxalobacter formigenes if they do not eat sufficient quantities of Oxalate containing foods, or have recently been on a course of antibiotics, or, have eaten something that kills Oxalobacter formigenes, such as Eucalyptus oil, which is sometimes used in lozenges for treating sore throat.
Good vid but the bell sound is seriously annoying especially whilst listening on headphones. Please remove the bell in future videos or use a different subtle sound.
💚 Thanks 💚 & Stop this clicking & dig dong & typing Sounds+ wind Sounds= noise When u bring the Subtitles.... Who edit This Video for you ⁉️ He / she is saboteur of your Magnificent videos.... 🧞This is Medical Add vicE = Noise Pollution...🌻💚

Just for the record, I love your sound effects😂
Thanks for sharing 😊
I would like to know about the butter! Sounds like it might be very healthy with the high fat content!
excellent work & vid. Thank you
There are some online 3rd party reports listing safe and unsafe cacao products. Lead can be a contaminant in addition to cadmium.
Does this include ceremonial grade?

Very nice and interesting, but I missed information about raw chocolate. Many thanks.

What do you know about the nitric oxide dump exercise routine? Good idea?
Thx for da vid!😻 Any thoughts on raw vs roasted nibs?
My understanding is that the roasted produces cocoa while the raw produces cacao, am I correct?
Another GREAT podcast. Love the dog & chicken I'm the background. I pictured you in a large waterfront home.
Gave up caffeine and now on a low fat diet - so changed to mushroom powder

Stuff gives me bad mood swings. I avoid it and caffeine entirely.
I enjoy this channel but respectfully, you did not mention Oxalate (oxalic acid). This really should be part of this video IMO
I drink cerimonial cacao and don't do anything spiritual or cerinonial. I just drink it because is good for you.
just ordered some Cacao/Flavanoid Extract from Cocovia has anyone here used this before?
Can You Send out A Link to BUY THE CACAO ????
Whole Foods or Amazon.

Isn't roasting destroying active substances in nibs?
My friend
Please stop the sound effects
They're distracting
You're a professional you don't need sound effects
I like them. They keep me watching stuff.

is it not high in mycotoxins?
You can buy cacao from companies that test for mold like Kakao
The audio sound effects are really annoying, please don’t use those again.

cacoa is high in oxalates-which is an anti nutrient and removes minerals

So many pings and strange noises I could not get to the end and much of the video was repetitive
