Healthy Chocolate? You Bet!
Doctors tell us that we should be eating the right kind of dark chocolate for our health (see October 2005 Prevention Magazine)? However, the chocolate found in candy is PROCESSED which kills the antioxidant content. Xoçai™ products contain completely natural, unprocessed chocolate which retains 100% of its antioxidant and nutritional value! Xoçai™ products deliver the full antioxidant capacity of dark chocolate without the fat, wax, fillers, preservatives and high sugar content normally associated with chocolate.
Xoçai™ products are combined with the Acai berry and blueberries. The combination of these ingredients, in their natural state, provide a product that is packed full of the most powerful antioxidants!
What are antioxidants? Antioxidants are molecules which prevent the damaging effects of oxygen free radicals in the body. The damage caused by oxygen free radicals is called oxidation. Examples of oxidation are bananas turning brown when left on the countertop, or the rusting of iron.
Less than 10% of Americans are consuming enough fruits and vegetables recommended by the USDA to obtain the necessary antioxidants that their bodies need to fight the damaging effects of free radicals.
ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity) values, as determined by the U.S. Dept. of Agriculture, measure the capacity of a food to absorb oxygen free radicals. The USDA website recommends a Daily Intake Range of
3,000 to 5,000 ORAC. However, recent studies have suggested that more active lifestyles require higher levels of antioxidants. One Xoçai™ chocolate Nuggets has 3120 ORAC. The drink has 4275 ORAC per ounce.
