I love what Mike Adams, “The Health Ranger”, of NaturalNews.com stands for and does in the world. Mike recently posted an article about heirloom cacao varieties "Original cacao is ancient treasure of chocolate from the Ecuadorian rainforest" (INSERT LINK: http://www.naturalnews.com/029628_cacao_chocolate.html) [updated since this discussion] which inspired Sacred Steve to write to mike regarding the definition of heirloom
Urban Myth: A story, generally untrue but sometimes one that is merely exaggerated or sensationalized, that gains the status of folklore by continual retelling. Example: ALL chocolate contains insect and rodent [hair]. In the latest issue of Healing our World (Volume 30, Issue 3), John Kohler wrote "All chocolate is notorious for containing foreign matter such as rodent [hair] and insect parts." Repetition of this myth by speakers and writers such as Paul Nison has created a belief that this is fact.
Sacred Chocolate® is the future of chocolate. Our goal is to create the greatest chocolate bar and chocolate products in the world. We are the first chocolate manufacturer in human history to create a raw (low-temperature processed), organic, chocolate bar.
In the special case of chocolate, which is so extremely high in heat sensitive antioxidants and other nutrients such as PEA, roasting the chocolate or processing it at high temperatures destroys or modifies much of the natural nutrient value.
Sacred Chocolate® is organic vegan stone ground raw chocolate. We use a special low temperature stone grinding process that really brings out the terrior of our beans. We also use healthy alternative sweeteners such as Maple Sugar, Inulin from Jerusalem Artichoke, and Erythritol. All our chocolate is hand poured and hand wrapped in a small custom designed, carbon balanced factory in Marin County, California.
