This book makes a strong case for the health benefits of raw chocolate, which has 7x the antioxidants of dark chocolate. The author explains the powerful medicinal and health benefits of raw chocolate, including that it's one of the highest food sources of magnesium, can reduce blood pressure, aids in liver detoxification, and has no cholesterol. The recipes contain only trace amounts of caffeine and are suitable for vegetarians, vegans, raw foodists, people with diabetes or hyperglycemia, and those on a low-calorie, gluten- and sugar-free diet.
