Make Your Own Raw Chocolate

What’s so great about chocolate?  Chocolate not only boasts cancer-fighting antioxidants, it’s also rich in magnesium, iron, zinc and chromium.  Its natural oils help raise good cholesterol and lower bad cholesterol. However, the caveat is after these oils are processed under high temperatures of heat, they turn to trans fatty acids.  Hence, think twice before grabbing that chocolate bar at the checkout stand as most chocolate is adulterated with “bad” fats, refined sugars and fillers. Instead, keep it raw.
