Why
Chocolate?
Dark
Chocolate is a potent antioxidant, reports Mauro Serafini,
PhD, of Italy's National Institute for Food and Nutrition
Research in Rome, and colleagues. Their report appears in
the August 28 issue of Nature. Antioxidants gobble up free
radicals, destructive molecules that are implicated in heart
disease and other ailments.
Each
piece of TRU Chocolate has an ORAC
value of 3040 pts.
Chocolate
is one tropical superfood no one in North America has trouble
pronouncing. Scientists seem to be just as addicted to the
quest for chocolate's health benefits as consumers are to
the sweet itself.

Chocolate's
heart-protective benefits come from the high flavonoid content of
the cocoa bean. Chocolate flavanoids (plant compounds with antioxidant
activity) may help lower blood pressure, according to a 2007 report
in the Journal of the American Medical Association.

nib (center) to a smooth, liquid state. The Cocoa liqueur
can then be cooled and molded into blocks.
Organic
Cocoa
Butter - also called the obroma oil , is the edible
natural fat of the cacao bean, extracted during the process
of making chocolate and cocoa powder.

Xylitol
- Xylitol is a white crystalline substance that looks
and tastes like sugar. It is a popular sweetener for the diabetic
diet. Xylitol is right here, inside, already. Our bodies produce
up to 15 grams of xylitol from other food sources using established
energy pathways. Xylitol is not a strange or artificial substance,
but a normal part of everyday metabolism. Xylitol is a “toothfriendly”
sugar. In addition to not encouraging tooth decay (by replacing
dietary sugars), Xylitol may actively aid in repairing minor
cavities caused by dental caries. Xylitol also appears to
have potential as a treatment for osteoporosis and help control
oral infections of Candida yeast. Xylitol, like most sugar
alcohols, can have a laxative effect and has no apparent ill
effects.

Momordica
Charantia – This herb grows all over the tropical
zones of the world and has been used for centuries to combat
various human ailments but to date has not been very effectively
marketed. In a controlled study, individuals with blood sugar
levels above 140 mg/dl had the most significant reductions
in blood sugar levels, ranging from 28.40% to 37.69%. Momordica
Charantia also kills bacteria, viruses, reduces inflammation.

Noni
Fruit - The fruit of the Morinda Citrifolia , or noni,
was an important food source for the early French Polynesians.
These early settlers wasted none of this highly valued plant
and used it for nearly every medicinal purpose you can imagine.
It was treasured by these early cultures for its healing properties
and nutritional value. Picked ripe and flash frozen.
Hawaii
and Japan used the fruit to contain fever outbreaks, the
Philippines used Noni to treat arthritis, and the Malaysians
heated the leaves to relieve nausea, coughs, and colic.
Noni, nearly unknown in the western world until 1996. is
now being used worldwide because of its great health benefits.

Citrus Extract – A sweetener from
botanical extract derived from the seeds, pulp, and inner rinds
of certified organically grown citrus extracts do not contain
wheat, rye, oats, corn, barley, gluten, starch, soy, egg, dairy,
yeast, sulfates, chlorides, wax, preservatives, colorings, or
artificial flavorings. |
 |
Ellagic
Acid (from pomegranate) – May be one the
most potent ways to fight Cancer. Ellagic Acid, a phenolic compound,
is a proven anti-carcinogen, anti-mutagen, anti-cancer initiator,
and a natural anti-bacterial found in many foods. |

Green
Tea Extract – In a study reported on in the American
Journal of Clinical Nutrition , it was found that green tea
extract resulted in a significant increase in energy expenditure
(a measure of metabolism), plus also had a significant effect
on fat oxidation. While some of the effects were originally
theorized to be due to the caffeine content of green tea,
the researchers discovered that the tea actually has properties
that go beyond those that would be explained by the caffeine.
The same amount of caffeine as was in the green tea, administered
alone, failed to change energy expenditure in other studies.
This led researchers to believe that there is some interaction
going on with the active ingredients of green tea that promotes
increased metabolism and fat oxidation. The researchers indicated
that their findings have substantial implications for weight
control. A 4% overall increase in 24-hour energy expenditure
was attributed to the green tea extract, however, the research
found that the extra expenditure took place during the daytime.
This led them to conclude that, since thermogenesis (the body's
own rate of burning calories) contributes 8-10% of daily energy
expenditure in a typical subject, that this 4% overall increase
in energy expenditure due to the green tea actually translated
to a 35-43% increase in daytime thermogenesis.

Fabanol®
– Studies have shown Fabanol® to block sugar absorption.
Fabenol® is an alpha-amylase inhibitory natural extract
obtained from Phaseolus vulgaris (common bean, kidney
bean) that blocks the digestion of dietary starch, thereby offering
potential benefits in the maintenance of healthy blood sugar
levels and optimal body composition. |
 |
Bioprene®
– A standardized extract from the fruit of Piper nigrum
L (black pepper) or Piper longum L (long pepper).
It contains 95 percent of piperine. Bioperine® may be co-administered
with various nutrients for both human and animal health. Piperine,
in the patented form of Bioperine®, enhances the body's
natural thermogenic activity. This enhancement may be explained
as a means of increasing the thermal energy sufficient to "power
up" the mechanism related to thermogenesis. This in turn
results in increased metabolic processes that creates a "demand"
for "supply" of a broad range of nutrients that contribute
to metabolism, i.e. vitamins, minerals, herbals, amino acids,
etc. It is as if Bioperine® activates a metabolic paddle
wheel, of sorts, that selectively provides a more efficient
mode of nutrient transportation into the blood. |

Vanilla Extract - Pure vanilla gives us
one of the most complex tastes in the world, having well over
250 organic components creating its unique flavor and aroma.
Next to saffron and cardamom, vanilla is the world's next most
expensive spice. Growers are known to “brand” their
beans with pin pricks before they can be harvested, to identify
the owner and prevent theft. Vanilla is native to Mexico, where
it is still grown commercially. Vanilla was used by the Aztecs
for flavouring their royal drink xocolatl - a mixture of cocoa
beans, vanilla and honey. Cortez brought vanilla back to Europe
in the sixteenth century, after having observed Montezuma drinking
the cocoa concoction. |
Lecithin
- is a fatlike substance called a phospholipid. It is produced daily
by the liver if the diet is adequate. It is needed by every cell
in the body and is a key building block of cell membranes; without
it, they would harden. Lecithin protects cells from oxidation and
largely comprises the protective sheaths surrounding the brain.
It is composed mostly of B vitamins, phosphoric acid, choline, linoleic
acid and inositol. Although it is a fatty substance, it is also
a fat emulsifier. Hence, it supports the circulatory system. Its
choline is useful for making acetylcholine.

TRU
Chocolate™ After-Taste
Most
people feel an after-taste when they eat TRU Chocolate. It is described
as a sweet taste with a bit of spice to it that stays in your palate
for about 15 – 30 minutes after you eat the Chocolate. This
is the result of several of the ingredients in TRU Chocolate and
indeed it is an indication that it is working. One has to remember
that TRU Chocolate is a Functional Food, in other words, it has
a Nutraceutical function in addition to its nourishment value. The
after-taste arises from three ingredients:
1.
Bio Flavanoids are sometimes called flavones and are also called
vitamin P because of their effect on the permeability of capillaries.
Vitamin P are a group of water soluble substances which comprise
a number of factors including herpseridin, myrecetin, nobiletin,
rutin, tangeritin and quercetin and there is no known toxicity symptoms
reported with bioflavanoids. Vitamin P was first discovered in the
white part of citrus fruits and the flavanoids are responsible for
making the yellow and orange colours we see in the fruits.Absorption
of vitamin P, bioflavanoids takes place in the intestinal tract.
Bio Flavanoids are approximately 2,000 times sweeter than sugar,
therefore, it is sweet enough for a few molecules to stay in the
palate to help create a sweet after-taste.
2.
Bioperin
which is a black pepper derivative enhances the perception of taste.
Anything you eat or drink after TRU Chocolate will taste stronger.
3.
Fabenol which
is a lentil derivative blocks the absorption of sugar and, therefore,
increases the sensation of sweetness.
The
after-taste is an advantage. It induces drinking which is very important
for weight loss and the body, and because it makes water taste sweet,
one can drink simple water instead of soda or juice and hydrate
the body.
