These xocai people are certified whack-jobs. It is some direct marketing scheme and you are going to be hounded to buy into it. You just opened the door to the chocolate cult.

And like my previous chocolate loving comrades have stated, Xocai is the only one out there that's widely available and diabetic safe. Our chocolate will soon boast on it's label the mg of flavanoids, alongside the already present heart healthy seal from Brunswick Lab and ORAC content. Check out the company and the science at <a href="www.myfitchocolate.com" rel="nofollow">www.myfitchocolate.com</a>, then contact us with any other questions you might have.

It is high in ORAC and flavanols (measured by Brunswick laboratories and carries their seal of approval) Made from raw cacao and acai for sweetening, this gourmet chocolate is never heated, so it retains 100% of its nutrient and antioxidant values; safe for diabetics, children, everyone! It has no preservatives, waxes, fillers, sugars, etc. For more info, check out www.mychocolate4life.com or send me an email @ kandipruitt@yahoo.com. Have a wonderful, chocolate kind of day!

Referennce to flavinols, nutrients and antioxidants in products are usually based on the raw product before manufacturing. It's in the manufacturing of the product that these values are reduced (heat kills). There is only one company I know who actually produces "Healthy" Chocolate and measures these values AFTER production. They use a patented cold-processing technology, use Acai berries as a sweetener (another high antioxidant food) without the wax, additives and fats that we want to avoid. Most of their products are Diabetic friendly, Vegan, Vegetarian, Heart Healthy and Kosher stamped but best of all ... it's delicious and you can "nash" without the guilt. I would be happy to send you more information if you are interested. Rosemary Hi Andrew,
