********CRITIQUES, RULES, AND NOTES********

Be aware of the following rules before posting comments:
- Please do not post summaries of the video in the comments - it damages retention on the video and YouTube is less likely to promote it (these videos cost me a lot of money to produce).

Critiques of my work are welcome! Please be aware of the following notes & rules before submitting critique:

Be mindful that this content is not all encompassing on the subject at hand and is self-limited for brevity to reach a wider audience. Also, be aware that I receive hundreds of YouTube comments per day, so the only way your critique can be considered is if you follow the steps outlined below. Finally, YouTube auto-deletes links, so I do not see most comments with links attached.

RULES:
If your comment is rude, you will be banned.
If your comment is not about the studies/topics at hand (i.e. extending to other outcomes not discussed) or offers critique with no scientific basis, it is unlikely to receive a response.

If you can follow these rules, I will try to address your critique and if there is merit, I will add an AMENDMENT to the content in question and pin it so everyone can see it (thank you!).

Mindsip insights from this episode:

Avoid dutched chocolate to preserve health benefits

A process called 'dutching' makes chocolate less bitter but can eliminate up to 90% of its healthy polyphenols, rendering it worthless for health benefits.

Leverage chocolate's molecules to lower blood pressure

Certain molecules in chocolate increase nitric oxide, which relaxes blood vessels and helps reduce blood pressure.

Incorporate chocolate to lower cholesterol levels

Chocolate can reduce blood cholesterol by decreasing its uptake in the intestines and reducing cholesterol synthesis in the liver.

Avoid chocolates with toxic heavy metals for better health

Many popular chocolates contain unhealthy doses of toxic heavy metals like cadmium and lead, which accumulate in your organs.

Avoid toxic metals in chocolates to protect brain cells

Toxic metals found in some chocolates interfere with DNA repair and protein folding, which is particularly harmful to brain cells.

Choose lighter undutched dark chocolate for health benefits

Counterintuitively, the healthier, undutched dark chocolate that you want is often lighter in color than its dutched counterpart.

Choose lab-tested chocolates with low cadmium and lead levels

Baker's unsweetened 100% cacao and Lily's extra dark chocolate 70% have been independently lab-tested for very low levels of cadmium and lead.
