| Dear Cacao Enthusiasts, Mark Twain said it best: "It's spring fever. That is what the name of it is. And when you've got it, you want —oh, you don't quite know what it is you do want, but it just fairly makes your heart ache, you want it so!" Mother Nature has initiated the all-embracing renewal. We are reminded to rejuvenate and revive our senses, so we can welcome new beginnings and fill our lives with more joy. Instinctively, we seek opportunities to purify and empower. If you're detoxing or just looking for healthy choices, we are here to remind you of the antioxidant properties in raw dark chocolate! Even if you are on a special diet, you can still enjoy a 'healthy treat' with the low-glycemic chocolate bars such as "SUN SWEET" and "ZERO POINTE MINT". Purple is the inspiration of this newsletter as it is the color of antioxidant-rich foods in nature. Purple has also been our signature color and the main color of our website. As we are launching a NEW SACRED CHOCOLATE WEBSITE FOR YOU SOON - we are paying tribute to purple :) So stay tuned, we're also rejuvenating with you! Here come the antioxidants and new beginnings! Longevity comes in purple. There is an energy surrounding cacao, immortalized forever in Roald Dahl's book, 'Charlie and the Chocolate Factory'. It was the magic of cacao that brought the creative and lively characters, the beloved Oompa Loompas to life. Cacao is the #1 longevity food in the world. Remember the famous study of 8,000 male Harvard graduates who ate chocolate and outlived their peers? Cacao has a way of inspiring youthfulness. With its superior antioxidant content, eating chocolate does seem to make one look and feel younger! It is now well-known that dark chocolate is good for the heart, but its superiority in the antioxidant content is still a surprise. Cacao and dark chocolate boost antioxidants; containing 15 times the amount of antioxidants as wild blueberries, 20 times more than green tea, and 30 times more than red wine!  Purple hued foods are known to contain high levels of antioxidants. Other popular antioxidant-rich berries such as acai berries and red grapes are also gifted with this healing and life-prolonging property; however, no other whole food quite compares to the extraordinary antioxidant content found in raw dark chocolate! Purple has also been used to symbolize magic and mystery throughout history, which is also true for chocolate! The "Naked Chocolate" book by David Wolfe and Shazzie, launched the raw chocolate revolution. This statement really captures cacao's magical subtlety: "Our experience from eating raw chocolate regularly is that it heightens creative, intuitive and even psychic abilities. Cacao imparts an ennobling energetic creativity upon the consumer allowing information to be downloaded from a higher dimensional space that surrounds us all the time. This property is esoteric, carried in cacao's psychedelic purple oils, which correspond to longheld lore that cacao butter contains the food's noble aspects." Dancing with the "bittersweet" phenomenon, the 83% Midnight is the ultimate dark chocolate lover's delight! This is the darkest chocolate that we offer with the greatest antioxidant content, including the whole cacao bean with the skin/husk still attached for superior nutrition. We are the only chocolate bean-to-bar company to recognize the exceptional value in the skin of the cacao bean and offer it to you! Raw dark chocolate is really a mineral supplement! It's extraordinarily rich in the minerals that are required for longevity as well as to fight stress. Raw chocolate is the greatest source in nature for magnesium, iron, chromium, zinc, copper, manganese, and phosphorus. Let's not forget the PEA love chemicals and the rare bliss chemical, anandamide, only found in raw cacao! We keep our Antioxidant Queen - "Midnight" dark chocolate bars in boxes at home... Guilt Free!  Lord Cacao’s Corner. Longevity Bliss Chocolate Bar Update: This new chocolate bar is extraordinary. Longevity Bliss’ secret ingredient ( hops extract) is a scientifically proven “natural aromatase inhibitor.” What is that? Natural aromatase inhibitors block the enzyme that converts good hormones (such as progesterone in women and testosterone in men) from converting over into toxic forms of estrogen. This property is protective of the reproductive organs of both women and men. It also helps keep the weight off by preventing the build up of toxic estrogens. Perhaps the most important discovery I have made in researching natural aromatase inhibitors is that they are associated with longevity (hence the title: Longevity Bliss). For example, oleuropein (the active ingredient in olive oil), quercetin (a powerful flavonoid in fruits and vegetables), and resveratrol (the super nutrient from grapes and wine) are all natural aromatase inhibitors and may be the main reason why olive oil, fruits and vegetables, and high phenolic wine have anti-aging qualities. "Live longer and leaner with 'Longevity Bliss' raw dark chocolate!" David 'Avocado' Wolfe. NEW BY SACRED CHOCOLATE THE ULTIMATE CHOCOLATE BLISS WITH MEDICINAL PROPERTIES! 'Longevity Bliss' is the ultimate superfood with a special extract from hops that is as powerful as resveratrol. This is a true breakthrough in longevity technology: cacao, like ginseng, is a potentiator - it amplifies the effect of medicinal substances taken with it! Cacao also carries an enormous array of its own medicinal components such as antioxidants, magnesium, anandamide, serotonin as well as the polyphenols that protect cells from oxidative damage and ultimately from aging, according to the free radical theory of aging. The following video reaffirms that raw dark chocolate is the best source of nutrients, highlighting all the mysteries of the world's greatest food! The latest from David Wolfe's adventures...
