| This is truly a chocolate superfood product. Five stars, highly recommended.
Life Force (www.LifeForceLLC.net)
Have you ever felt like you actually fell in love with a food product? It sounds strange, but I recently fell in love with the Life Force line of chocolate products made by Life Force LLC.
It's hard to give this company all the credit it deserves in such a brief article (I could write an entire article just about Life Force products), but here's the short version: Outstanding taste, all raw, organic ingredients and lots of good vibes. |
| They look like chocolate balls (about the size of a quarter) and taste like a free vacation to chocolate Heaven. Plus, thanks to the goji berries and other ingredients, they have a super high ORAC value of nearly 15,000 units per serving (91g). That's a higher rating than blueberries!
Even the bag is really interesting. It's made with sacred geometry patterns and a color scheme that looks like a Tibetan Mandala. I noticed good vibes just from the bag itself, not to mention the fantastic food inside! |
| I was too busy eating the chocolate inside.
Speaking of what's inside, here's the ingredients list: Agave nectar, Goji berries, Ecuadorian cacao powder (non-hybrid criollo variety), walnuts, Hunza raisins, coconut, dates, sesame seeds, black sesame seeds, maca powder, truly raw sun-dried vanilla powder, cinnamon, sustainably hand-harvested Himalayan crystal salt, cayenne pepper, and "lots of love."
You'll notice that just about every ingredient listed here is a superfood of one kind or another. This is truly a chocolate superfood product. Five stars, highly recommended.

 Premenstrual chocolate craving is a phenomenon that has puzzled many physicians. They have been unable to explain why some women have this overwhelming urge to eat lots of chocolate right before their periods, yet at other times of the month the women's chocolate cravings are not as strong. The PMS-chocolate connection makes a lot of sense because chocolate is very high in magnesium.
Keeping a balance of calcium and magnesium is critical for optimal physical functioning and for hormone balance. |

 While Redi was still alive, not even his Jesuit friend Father Tommaso Strozzi of Naples, who had penned a Latin poem on chocolate, could get his hands on this recipe.
Many years later, in 1741 to be exact, another Florentine named Marcello Malaspina (1689-1757), a lawyer, senator of Florence, and, like Redi, a member of the Florentine Academy of Letters, published another dithyramb in imitation of Bacco in Toscana. |
| This did not satisfy many in Mexico, including the viceroy; the latter asked Fray Agustfn Davila Padilla for his opinion, which was that neither chocolate nor wine broke the fast.35 Eventually, at the instigation of the Procurator of the Province of Chiapas ("where this drink began" according to our source), a high-ranking cleric consulted Pope Gregory XIII, a militant Counter-Reformationist who celebrated the news of the St. Bartholemew's Day Massacre with a Te Deum in St. Peter's. The Supreme Pontiff said it did not break the fast. |

 Empowered Foods also makes chocolate Coated Durian Chunks, which is only good if you happen to like Durian. For those of you who don't know, Durian is an exotic rainforest fruit that has a very peculiar smell. (Some simply say it stinks, but that depends on your personal taste.) I remember flying into Malaysia a few years ago, and someone had actually stuffed a Durian fruit into the overhead compartment of the airplane. Every passenger on that plane was then treated to a three hour long "fragrance endurance test" by the Durian fruit. |

| In short, was chocolate a drink, or was it a food? Did it merely quench the thirst, or was the body also nourished by it? If it was a food, as well as a drink, then it could not be taken by practicing Catholics during the hours which ran from midnight until Holy Communion (in 1958, Vatican II shortened this period to one hour); nor could it be taken on fast days, which included the forty days of Lent. |

| So they will eat a giant piece of chocolate instead of just getting calcium and magnesium into their body through natural food sources.
There's nothing wrong with chocolate if it were eaten in its raw form from the cocoa plant. But the chocolate most people consume is made with saturated dairy fats in the form of milk fat. That's why it's called "milk chocolate." It's also loaded with refined white sugars, which turn an ordinary piece of healthy chocolate from the rain forest into a candy bar that promotes both heart disease and diabetes. |

| The laboratory results have been spectacular: chocolate has an antiquity that stretches 38 centuries back into the past, to predate even the San Lorenzo Olmecs.
It now appears that the key area for the origins of sedentary village culture in Mesoamerica is not the Gulf Coast lowlands, but the Pacific coastal plain of Chiapas (in southeast Mexico) and adjacent Guatemala. This is the old Soconusco region, a hot, fertile, well-watered province from which both the Aztecs and the colonial Spanish obtained their very best criollo cacao. |

| Once you've tried that, venture into the Wild Peanut Caramel chocolate Bar made with raw wild organic jungle peanuts. The taste makes you feel like you've been transported right into the Amazon rainforest, surrounded by deep-rooted plant energy.
Their Ancient Wisdom Bar is sweetened with raw organic yacon syrup (which has a glycemic index of about 12, making it the ideal sweetener for anyone watching their blood sugar) and contains maca, lucuma powder and raw cacao. |

| So if you live in a place that gets a lot of sunlight and heats up during the Summer, you may want to avoid buying the chocolate mixes until temperatures cool down in the Fall.
Another point to consider is that subjecting raw foods to UPS truck temperatures destroys their raw-ness. Once they get delivered by UPS in any hot environment, they're actually cooked at low temperatures. They've gone way above 108 degrees, and they've probably stayed there for hours. |
| Even if these products are inadvertently heated for a few hours during shipping, they're still far healthier (and less processed) than the typical chocolate bars you see on the market.
By the way, Empowered Foods is working with somebody in the U.K. who may be replicating some of these products and making them available soon throughout Western Europe. I don't have details on that plan, but I know it's in the works. Alex's vision is to take this company (and its products) global, so watch for announcements along those lines. |

 Some people absolutely love the Chocamaca (bite-sized chocolate balls, made with real cacao from the Amazon), and with all the incredible health research on chocolate emerging these days, it's no wonder. See the NewsTarget chocolate page to learn more.
I don't personally eat the Chocamaca product because it's made with evaporated cane juice, which is just a bit too high on the glycemic scale for my personal taste. But if you're craving chocolate, these Chocamaca balls sure beat the typical "plastic chocolate" candy bars at the grocery store. |

| Their Goji Jelly Cups, for example, are made with raw wildcrafted camu camu berry powder, raw Tibetan goji berries and "empowered chocolate." One taste tells you this is no ordinary food. In fact, it's among the highest-density superfood I've yet experienced. And the best part? It tastes so incredibly good that you'll have to exercise significant self discipline not to eat everything in sight.
