Mindsip insights from this episode:
Select pure, undutched cocoa with high flavanol content
When buying cocoa, look for pure, undutched powder that has been tested for heavy metals and has a high flavanol count, ideally over 400 milligrams per serving.
Question the safety of supermarket food in a dirty food system
The assumption that food in supermarkets has gone through a process to ensure it's safe is not true, as the food system is 'pretty dirty'.
Choose cocoa brands that disclose heavy metal test results
Cocoa can naturally have high levels of heavy metals, and most companies don't share their test results, so it's critical to only buy from brands that do.
Incorporate high-quality cocoa for brain, heart, and mood benefits
High-quality cocoa is considered one of the best foods you can eat, on par with extra virgin olive oil, for its benefits on brain health, heart health, and mood.
Choose trehalose, stevia, or allulose to sweeten healthy chocolate drinks
If you need to sweeten a healthy chocolate drink made with pure cocoa, consider using trehalose, stevia, or a little bit of allulose.
Create a healthy Nutella alternative with nut butter and cocoa
You can create a healthy Nutella-like spread by mixing a small amount of pure cocoa powder into a clean nut butter made from macadamia nuts, walnuts, and sea salt.
