This artery cleansing drink is like exercise in a cup! Unclog arteries and support cardiovascular health with one cup of this amazing drink daily. Reverse arterial plaque and prevent a heart attack naturally!0:00 Introduction: How to unclog arteries naturally0:33 What causes clogged arteries?2:21 How to increase nitric oxide3:00 How to reverse clogged arteries8:35 The best drink to unclog arteries10:33 More cacao benefits If you have damage to your arteries, you're at an increased risk for high blood pressure and clots, which can cause strokes and heart attacks. When you visit the doctor for these conditions, they typically address the symptoms rather than examining the root cause.The root cause of plaque in the arteries is endothelial damage. Endothelial damage and inflammation are repaired by plaque, composed of calcium, cholesterol, and protein.Arterial damage decreases nitric oxide levels, resulting in less control over blood pressure and an increased risk of clotting. Around 90% of heart attacks come from clots!Sunlight is vital to increase nitric oxide. Nasal breathing and magnesium are also essential.You can reverse arterial plaque buildup through a process called reverse cholesterol transport. This mechanism transports plaque in the arteries back to the liver for recycling. This process can be sped up with the help of the following:•Niacin •HDL cholesterol•Exercise •Fasting •Low-carb diets •Bile salts Magnesium controls calcium, so increasing your intake can help to remove it from the arteries. Polyphenols protect the endothelial layer of the arteries, and vitamin K2 helps prevent arterial calcification. Cacao powder is the main component of the best drink for your arteries. It's high in flavonols and stimulates enzymes in the body to produce more nitric oxide. Roasted cacao has been shown to increase blood flow to the arteries, similar to the effects of exercise.Cacao is also beneficial for your heart, brain, skin, and other organs and tissues in the body. It has an accumulative effect and can build up in your system over time. To prepare your drink, combine cacao powder in a glass of water. You can drink it cold or warm. Add beetroot juice powder for an additional boost of nitric oxide and an interesting flavor. You can also add a pinch of sea salt and a scoop of magnesium glycinate for the most potent effect!

In so many of our episodes over the last four years, we have explored how no food we eat is intrinsically ‘bad'. Instead, it's what we as humans living in a rapidly globalising and industrialising world, have done to that food that causes problems. The topic of today's episode, cacao, epitomises this. Originally, in its home, central america, cacao beans were revered and used unsweetened as a drink. Our world has taken and transformed them into an unrecognisable sugary commodity that fills the shelves of shops globally. A commodity that can, as Alison personally knows, through at 20, being addicted to the stuff and obese, ruin health.But as ancestral cooks, we need not be scared. And our guest today knows that better than anyone we've ever come across. Marcos Patchett is a self-confessed cacao geek and has written two books on this bean's wonders, the first of which, The Secret Life of Chocolate is 700 pages of incredible research, of which Alison has devoured every page!Cacao is an incredibly nutrient-dense food and one that can give us both pleasure and health. Let's talk about why, and, how, you should be eating chocolate.Supporters of the podcast, check your private feed for a fascinating discussion on addiction that we just couldn't squeeze into the main episode.* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *One Earth Health make the grass-fed organ supplements we use and trust.

Once chocolate turned sweet — in 16th-century Europe — the masses caught on and turned chocolate into a powerhouse treat. Several present-day chocolate companies began operations in the 19th and early 20th centuries....like Cadbury and Hershey's. Today almost 80% of Americans have chocolate at least once a week.

El bogotano Jesús David Guiza decidió crear el proyecto que busca enaltecer el valor del trabajo agrícola a través del chocolate, uniendo gastronomía, arte y responsabilidad social.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

C'est une histoire de famille, de passion et de fèves de cacao. À la Manufacture Paysac, Bertrand Paysac, ses sœurs et ses parents ont fait le pari, ensemble de remonter toute la chaîne du chocolat, depuis la fève jusqu'à la tablette, pour retrouver le goût juste. Parce que oui, pour cette famille de gourmands, il était finalement assez naturel, après le café de spécialité, de s'attaquer au chocolat !Avec Bertrand, on parle de cette aventure humaine et gustative : de l'art de torréfier le cacao comme on torréfie le café, de la complexité de travailler une matière agricole vivante, et de la force de l'entrepreneuriat en famille, entre rigueur, fous rires et poulet du dimanche.Au menu de cet épisode :

Alors que la campagne de commercialisation du café et du cacao est lancée depuis le début du mois d'octobre dans la région du N'Zi, l'activité tourne au ralenti. Le cœur historique de l'ancienne boucle du cacao, qui pesait près d'un quart de la production ivoirienne au début des années 1970, produirait désormais moins de 2% du total national. La faute à une baisse des rendements, aux multiples causes. Les planteurs se sont tournés vers d'autres cultures comme l'anacarde. De notre envoyé spécial à Dimbokro,  Elles faisaient la fierté des villageois de Kongossou – les plantations de cacao. Les cabosses sont rares ces jours-ci. À l'ombre des arbres, Kouamé N'dri en désespère : « Ce qui a changé, c'est qu'il ne pleut plus. Avant, il pleuvait très bien, toutes nos forêts qu'on avait, elles sont petites maintenant. » La production varie de 50 à 300 kilos, très peu donc. « Mais le cacao, on gagne notre vie avec, on espère que ça va venir encore », ose encore croire le producteur. Le planteur n'envisage pas d'abandonner la tradition cacaoyère de ses grands-parents qui ont, eux, vécu la grande époque de Dimbokro. Il y a cinquante ans, l'ex-capitale ivoirienne du cacao était florissante, en témoignent ses anciens entrepôts ou encore le chemin de fer qui reliait la ville au port d'Abidjan. Le déclin s'est amorcé au début des années 1980 avec le vieillissement des plantations, la déforestation et les sécheresses, entre autres. « Le fait qu'il y a déforestation, le fait que la pluviométrie utile diminue, tout cela fait que les rendements diminuent puisque la rente forêt qui était un des facteurs de productions a disparu. Donc, les coûts de production augmentent et donc les planteurs, s'ils ont la possibilité d'aller chercher une nouvelle forêt, ils vont préférer ça plutôt que d'essayer de replanter dans la vieille plantation », détaille François Ruf, agro-économiste, spécialiste du cacao. Changement de culture La boucle du cacao s'est depuis déplacée vers l'ouest. Toungbo dirige l'une des anciennes coopératives de Dimbokro. Il témoigne de cette migration rurale. « Les planteurs qui étaient à Dimbokro sont partis vers Soubré, Gagnoa quand le changement climatique est arrivé et que là-bas c'était la véritable forêt. Donc, ils y sont allés », décrit-il. « Si vous allez là-bas, vous allez trouver des campements appelés « Petit Dimbokro », donc c'est ça qui fait la fierté de la région là-bas », précise-t-il encore. Les planteurs qui sont restés se reconvertissent – palmier à huile, hévéa, entre autres. L'une des principales alternatives est l'anacardier importé des savanes du Nord. La région du N'zi aurait produit plus de 4 000 tonnes de noix de cajou en 2023. Séraphin Koffi Ngoran en a planté quatre hectares. « Ça a été une lueur d'espoir. On a planté, certains parents nous disaient que c'étaient des bois du Nord, mais aujourd'hui ces bois du Nord nous profitent et nous apportent de la richesse », se souvient-il. L'anacardier a l'avantage d'avoir moins besoin de pluie, « c'est plus facile à faire pousser », selon Koffi Ngoran. À 425 francs CFA le kilo, la noix de cajou ne remplace pas la fève de cacao, six fois plus chère, dans le cœur des planteurs. Séraphin veut faire pousser des cacaoyers entre ses anacardiers.

La folle ascension des cours du cacao est-elle terminée ? La baisse, constatée cette année, s'est accélérée depuis la mi-août. Les cours ont atteint ces derniers jours leur plus bas depuis février 2024, soit depuis vingt mois. Le cacao new-yorkais se négociait en début de semaine à moins de 6 000 dollars la tonne contre un pic en décembre 2024 à 12 000 dollars la tonne. La baisse des prix s'explique par les nouvelles rassurantes venues d'Afrique de l'Ouest. Les pluies du mois dernier ont été bonnes, et le risque que la nouvelle récolte soit mauvaise s'éloigne. Les cours s'expliquent aussi par un recul de la demande. Les prix records, qualifiés d'intenables à long terme par certains analystes, ont fini par devenir un frein pour les industriels qui ont imaginé d'autres recettes, et pour les consommateurs qui ont appris à manger moins de chocolat.  Les fonds spéculatifs participent également à alimenter cette tendance : sentant la baisse se profiler, ils ont liquidé leur position, c'est-à-dire revendu leurs contrats, ce qui donne l'impression que l'offre est plus abondante sur le marché, même si c'est artificiel.  Fin de la hausse des prix ? La baisse des cours qui dure depuis plusieurs mois acte un renversement de tendance, au moins à court terme. Elle ne se traduira, en effet, pas immédiatement sur les prix, il y a toujours dans le secteur du cacao un décalage d'au moins six mois, voire plus, ce qui veut dire que la consommation pourrait encore rester tiède. L'hypothèse d'une nouvelle année excédentaire n'est pas exclue : la production mondiale pourrait dépasser la consommation d'environ 186 000 tonnes au cours de la saison 2025-26, soit plus du double de l'excédent de l'année précédente, selon une enquête de l'agence Bloomberg réalisée auprès de plus d'une dizaine de traders et d'analystes en septembre. Ce décalage entre l'offre et la demande, s'il se confirme, ne devrait pas pour autant faire baisser les prix jusqu'aux niveaux d'avant 2023, époque où le cacao s'échangeait entre 2  000 et 3 000 dollars la tonne, relève le Financial Times. Structurellement, la production d'Afrique de l'Ouest reste sous pression, en raison du vieillissement des plantations, de la prévalence de la maladie du swollen shoot et du changement climatique. Baisse structurelle de la production Le relèvement des prix payés aux planteurs en Côte d'Ivoire et au Ghana, pour la campagne cacaoyère 2025-26, ne semble pas en mesure d'enrayer la baisse structurelle de la production. Si selon Rabobank, ces prix encourageront les agriculteurs à livrer plus de fèves aux transformateurs, pour François Ruf, économiste de la filière, cela ne permettra probablement que de ralentir la baisse de la production, pas à inverser la tendance.  C'est en particulier vrai au Ghana où la concurrence de l'orpaillage a déjà fait perdre du terrain à la filière. Le pays pourrait d'ailleurs perdre à court terme sa place de deuxième producteur mondial, au profit de l'Équateur.

The global food system stands at a crossroads. Climate change is reshaping where crops can grow, trade disputes threaten supply chains, and smallholder farmers who produce much of our food often have the least power in the system. Meet Heather Terry, founder and CEO of GoodSAM Foods, and discover how the company is transforming the traditional smallhold farm model by putting people and regenerative agriculture at the heart of a growing food company. GoodSAM Foods sources 90% of its ingredients directly from smallholder farms in Latin America and Africa, eliminating middlemen and reinvesting profits into farming communities. Terry's approach is both principled and pragmatic: as climate volatility reduces crop yields globally, the companies that have built genuine relationships with farmers will have access to limited harvests. "When I'm a farmer and I suddenly have leverage, who am I going to sell that product to?" Terry asks. "It's relationships."[Terry's journey to raise $9 million in Series A funding over 18 months illustrates the disconnect between traditional investors and regenerative business models. After facing skepticism from conventional CPG investors, she found success with impact investors who understood that sustainable food systems represent the future of the industry. While GoodSAM maintains USDA Organic and Non-GMO Project verification, Terry takes a critical stance on regenerative certification labels, arguing that current systems impose Global North standards on farmers who have practiced regenerative techniques for generations. Instead, GoodSAM focuses on direct relationships and on-ground verification. Her proactive approach protected both the company and its farming partners from sudden economic shocks at a time when the U.S. food system faces mounting pressures from climate impacts and trade policy changes. "Every time you pick something up off the shelf, you are voting," Terry said. "You're sending a signal to a company."You can learn more about GoodSAM Foods at goodsamfoods.com.Subscribe to Sustainability In Your Ear on iTunesFollow Sustainability In Your Ear on Spreaker, iHeartRadio, or YouTube

Analizamos las implicaciones de los testamentos solidarios y las motivaciones de quiénes los encargan. Hablamos de las formas prácticas de introducir la inteligencia artificial en tareas cotidianas para mejorar nuestra vida. Y visitamos un obrador de cacao en el centro de Madrid para conocer cómo se elaboran el chocolate artesanal y otros productos derivados.

Hoy vamos a hablar de un tema poco habitual, pero que muchos me habéis preguntado: cómo alimentarnos en caso de guerra o emergencia.No es un tema para alarmar, sino para reflexionar y estar preparados: ¿qué alimentos deberíamos tener en casa?, ¿cómo organizamos nuestra despensa y nevera para que nos dure lo máximo posible?, ¿qué opciones son más seguras y prácticas?

Cocoa vs. Cacao vs. Dutch-Processed: What's the Difference—and Does It Matter? “If you've ever paused mid-recipe wondering, “Can I use cocoa powder instead of cacao?” or “What even is Dutch-processed cocoa?”, you're not alone. These chocolaty powders may look similar, but there are meaningful differences among them—especially when it comes to nutrition and how they perform in recipes.” Listen to today's episode written by Linda Tyler at Forks Over Knives. #vegan #plantbased #plantbasedbriefing #wfpb #cocoa #cacao #dutchprocessed #cocoapowder ========================== Original post:  https://www.forksoverknives.com/how-tos/cocoa-vs-cacao-vs-dutch-processed-whats-the-difference/  ========================== Use search feature at https://www.plantbasedbriefing.com/episodes-search   ========================= Forks Over Knives Documentary: https://www.forksoverknives.com/the-film/  =========================== Forks Over Knives was founded following the release of the world-famous documentary Forks Over Knives in 2011, showing people how to regain control of their health and their lives with a plant-based diet.

Cacao agronomist Sarah Bharath has become one of my closest friends in the craft chocolate world, and she's been on Bean to Barstool a couple times before. (You can listen to those conversations here and here.) Today I'm sharing the first of a two part conversation Sarah and I had recently about cacao farming and fermentation. Rather than getting technical (though there is certainly a lot of science here), the conversation was more philosophical, as we discuss the challenges and opportunities offered by small-holder farms in the cacao space. Farmers need to make money to live, and that means efficiency and predictability are easy to prioritize. But those goals might be at odds with soil health, long-term plant health, and the ultimately goals of cacao production: flavor and complexity. How do we reconcile these? And what do we do with the tension in craft chocolate and other artisan food and drink industries between the romance of terroir and agricultural variability and the need for consistency and agronomic predictability?Listen in as Sarah and I discuss these topics!

In this highly anticipated annual episode, Dr. G delivers the 2025 Heal Thy Self Cacao Product Review. After weeks of testing, lab document requests, and direct communication with brands, Dr. G exposes the shocking truth about your favorite cacao products. Not all cacao is created equal. Some brands are loaded with heavy metals like lead and cadmium. Others are contaminated with mold and mycotoxins. And some companies won't even respond to basic safety questions about what's actually in their products. Dr. G breaks down: Why even organic cacao can exceed safe heavy metal levels The brands that completely ignored transparency requests (red flag!) Which companies provided full certificates of analysis and passed with flying colors How mycotoxins from improperly stored cacao beans can cause liver toxicity and immune suppression The difference between fermented, raw, and roasted cacao and why it matters His complete transparency protocol: what questions every cacao company should answer. This isn't just about flavor; it's about your long-term health. Cacao is medicine, but sourcing matters. Transparency is the new baseline for quality. From the brands that made the top tier to the ones you should avoid completely, this episode will change how you choose your cacao forever. #cacao #chocolate #wellness ==== Thank You To Our Sponsors!
