Scientists announce amazing findings: chocolate offers huge protection from heart disease and stroke

(NaturalNews) All regular readers of NaturalNews know that researchers have discovered chocolate (especially the organic, not junked up with additives and sugar type) contains phytochemicals which appear to promote good health. But no one has had much of a clue about the specifics of some of those benefits on the cardiovascular system — until now. Scientists at the European Society of Cardiology Congress currently underway in Paris just announced that chocolate provides huge protection from heart disease as well as stroke. That’s great news because, despite the billions of dollars spent on mainstream medicine’s drugs and surgical interventions, the battle against cardiovascular disease obviously needs some serious help. Currently, the World Health Organization (WHO) predicts that by 2030 nearly 23.6 million people will die yearly from heart disease. So just imagine the fluttering of hearts in Big Pharma offices if they found a no side effect, easy to produce drug that actually worked to lower the risk of developing heart disease in the first place by almost 40 percent. The demand and profits to be made would be enormous. While there is no such medication, it turns out that eating chocolate regularly appears to accomplish what pills can’t. For a new study, which was just published in the online version of the British Medical Journal , Dr. Oscar Franco and colleagues from the University of Cambridge carried out a large scale investigation of existing research on chocolate. In all, they looked at research involving over 100,000 participants with and without existing heart disease. Then the scientists evaluated the effects of eating chocolate on cardiovascular events including heart attacks and stroke. For each of seven studies that were analyzed, the research team compared the group with the highest chocolate consumption against the group with the lowest consumption (to minimize bias, they factored in differences in the way each study had been designed). Bottom line: the highest levels of chocolate consumption were associated with an astounding 37 percent reduction in cardiovascular disease and an almost 30 percent reduction in stroke compared with lowest levels of chocolate eating. The studies did not differentiate between dark or milk chocolate and included consumption of chocolate bars, drinks, biscuits and desserts — which raises an obvious question not answered by the new research analysis. Would the cardiovascular protection be even more pronounced if the chocolate didn’t include extra sugars, unhealthy fats or chemical additives found in many chocolate drinks and candy bars? The authors of the study did warn their findings need to be interpreted cautiously because commercially available chocolate products are often loaded with calories, so eating too much of these can lead to weight gain and be harmful to health in general. However, in a statement to the media, they concluded that given the health benefits of eating chocolate, “initiatives to reduce the current fat and sugar content in most chocolate products should be explored.” For more information: http://www.bmj.com/ http://www.naturalnews.com/chocolate.html

Hexane may be lurking in the soy protein found in popular food bars

(NaturalNews) Protein bars, breakfast bars, really anything in bar form just makes sense in our dine while dashing society. The question is, what is it you’re really eating? Most of these bars claim to offer healthy, wholesome energy, but what you may not have realized is that the process to create “soy protein isolate,” which is often a primary ingredient in protein bars, utilizes a toxic solvent called Hexane. Hexane is an industrial waste by-product of gasoline that, according to the EPA, can cause polyneuropathy in humans. Hexane is primarily used as a solvent to extract edible oils from seed and vegetable crops, such as soybeans, as well as a solvent for glues, varnishes and inks. Hexane is also used as a degreaser in the printing industry and as the liquid in low temperature thermometers. Sounds yummy, doesn’t it? So, if you’re wondering why you rarely see “organic” soy protein, this is one of the reasons. Additionally, soy protein typically comes from genetically modified plants. Even non-genetically modified raw materials may contain small amounts of GMO-parts, claims GMO-Compass.org, because a total separation of conventional and GM soybeans is technically impossible. In an effort to help you make smart “bar” choices, I spent a few quality hours in Whole Foods researching just which bars you may want to avoid and which ones you might want to check out. I was surprised to find that the majority of bars available do not contain soy protein. It would seem the newer brands of bars are becoming more savvy in their ingredient offerings. I was impressed enough to walk away with a few bars of my own. Here’s the lowdown. Bars With Soy Protein: Kashi Go Lean: Chocolate Peanut Butter and Chocolate Caramel contain soy protein. Odwalla: Isolated Soy Protein is the #1 ingredient in their Original Super Protein Bar and their Chocolate Peanut Butter bar. Other flavors available did not contain soy protein. Honey Stinger: Contains soy nuggets made up of soy protein isolate, rice flour, malt and salt. Luna Zone Perfect: Contains soy protein nuggets. Balance Clif bars: All bars available contained soy protein except Clif Kids bars. ThinkThin: Their soy crisps are made from soy protein isolate. Powerbar/Powerbar Pria *NuGO: Contains soy protein but claims to use organic hexane-free soy crisps. Bars Without Soy Protein: Kind: The Blueberry Pecan bar, for example, is full of fruits and nuts, non-gmo glucose, chicory fiber and 5 grams of protein. 18 Rabbits: A granola bar with such fun flavors like Cheeky Cherry Chocolate and Haute Diggity Date. They’re one of the lowest in sugar at 12 grams. Perfect Foods: One of my favorites! Look for it in the refrigerated section. Vega Whole Food Energy Bar: Is made from raw alkaline plant-based superfoods such as hemp protein. Pro Bar Superfood Slam: Is a whole food meal bar with organic acai and wheat grass, 7 grams of protein and lots of fruits like papaya and pineapple. Garden of Life: Their Organic Super Seed bar contains 18 sprouted grains including spelt and offers a probiotic blend. Thunderbird Energetica: Their Cherry Walnut Crunch is made with sweet potato, turmeric and Hawaiian black lava salt. Unique, to be sure! I found them on the bottom shelf, so you may have to search for it. Raw Organic Food Bar: One of quite a few products that are specifying non-GMO ingredients. This one also comes with quinoa. My interest is piqued. Vibrant Health: While their Green Vibrance Original Meal Bar sounds appealing with almond butter, honey, carob, cherries, raisins and sunflower seeds and dark chocolate, nowhere on the label do they describe the “Green Vibrance” ingredient. Although green in the health food industry usually brings to mind positive images, there are a lot of green things I wouldn’t want to stick in my mouth. Greens: Their Peanut Butter bar is full of super foods and exciting ingredients like organic alfalfa grass, Echinacea root extract, Siberian eleuthero root extract and Montana bee pollen but not a lot of protein. Their Daily Mocha Mantra, which contains hemp protein, was highly recommended by Eric, the Whole Foods employee, because it’s delicious and high in Omega 3′s. Larabar: Very clean with few ingredients. My favorites are Banana Bread and Apple Pie. Raw Revolution: Their Chocolate and Coconut offers organic flax seeds, 7 grams of protein from cashews, sunflower seeds and almonds. Although it seems that companies are starting to use better ingredients, it’s always important to read food labels. Just because you buy it at the health food store doesn’t mean it’s healthy.

The top four nutritional super food bars you won’t find in stores

(NaturalNews) Browsing through the food bar section of a local health food store the other day, I found myself extremely disappointed in the selection. Most of the food bars available at retail fall into either the “energy” category (made with excessive sweeteners), or the “protein” category (made with soy protein). Soy protein, as you may know, is usually extracted from GMO soy using hexane , an explosive toxic chemical (http://www.naturalnews.com/026303_soy_protein_hexane.html). Why is soy protein used so frequently in food bars? Because it’s cheap. Dirt cheap. And by using soy protein, bar manufacturers can claim “high protein” on the label. But you’d be hard pressed to find a protein bar in any store that isn’t made with soy protein. Yuck. Needless to say, I didn’t buy any food bars at the health food store. Instead, I went home and opened up some of my own food bars that I’m going to share with you here. These are four amazing food bars (from four different companies) that you may have never even heard of because they aren’t readily available in health food stores (and probably never will be). Boundless Nutrition Oatmega-3 Wellness Bar Rather than using cheap soy protein, the Boundless Nutrition Oatmega-3 Wellness Bar (http://www.boundlessnutrition.com/?page_id=450) uses a high-end whey protein as its protein source. This gives the bar a truly impressive nutritional profile that’s high in protein without using soy derivatives. These bars, which are available in flavors like Dark Chocolate Mint and Dark Chocolate Peanut, contain 300mg of omega-3s, green tea extracts, and other truly natural ingredients. It’s not a bar for vegans, obviously, but for those who like high quality whey protein, this is truly one of the best protein bars I’ve ever found. Check out their ingredients here: http://www.boundlessnutrition.com/?page_id=353 These bars are really delicious, by the way. I’ve interviewed the founder of Boundless Nutrition, a company based in Austin, Texas (yes, Austin!), and plan to be rolling those videos soon on NaturalNews.TV. This is a relatively new company, but they look poised to make a real difference in the protein bar market. The GoodOnYa Bar Here’s a really cool USDA Organic gluten free, non-GMO, soy–free, dairy-free food bar that’s fast becoming popular among vegetarians and vegans: The GoodOnYa Bar (www.TheGoodOnYaBar.com). They’re made with organic cold milled flax, sesame and hemp seeds, along with Celtic sea salt, organic raw honey and other key ingredients depending on the flavor. Even though they’re not 100% raw, these are suitable for raw food vegans in my view. The GoodOnYa Bar is quite delicious. Although it definitely has a “flaxy” kind of taste, the entire blend of various ingredients is really outstanding. I’m really impressed with this bar and this company. They seem to have a deep-rooted dedication to real food . They’re based in Solana Beach, California, and I expect to be seeing more great stuff from this company in the years ahead. Check out their available flavors at http://www.thegoodonyabar.com/organic-nutrition-bars-flavors.html Boku Super Food Bar The Boku Super Food Bar remains my single most favorite superfood bar. I’m on the road quite a lot these days, and I find that I’m always bringing a box of Boku Super Food Bars with me. It has become my essential travel food. This is a gluten free, dairy free, soy free, USDA organic, Kosher and 100% delicious chocolate fudge brownie food bar that was actually created with the help of over 1,000 NaturalNews readers! (http://www.naturalnews.com/030340_Boku_superfood_bar.html) The real highlights of this bar are that it’s not too sweet (very low sweetener use), it uses only plant-based proteins, and it’s based on organic almond butter and the Boku super food blend which is just loaded with plant-based nutrients. Get some at: http://shop.bokusuperfood.com/detail_BOKUBAR__25.html While you’re at it, I strongly recommend the Boku Immune Tonic , by the way, which is just ridiculously good for boosting immune function during the winter flu season. And it tastes great, too, so even kids and teens enjoy taking this immune-boosting liquid: http://shop.bokusuperfood.com/items_25.html This Boku Super Food Bar is truly at the very top of the list of the most innovative and nutritious food bars that have ever been created. And no, it’s not sold by us. It’s sold by the Boku Superfood company who took the initiative and manufactured it for people to enjoy. NaturalNews readers have already bought nearly 100,000 of these bars since the original launch. It’s really popular among those who know their nutrition. See more at www.BokuSuperfood.com Cocochia bars from Living Fuel My other favorite food bar is the CocoChia bar from Living Fuel (www.LivingFuel.com). It’s based on organic coconut and whole chia seeds, then it mixes in raw almond butter, some sugar alcohol sweeteners and various probiotics, among other minor ingredients. It’s positioned as a “sustained energy” food bar because the chia really tend to slow the digestion of fats and carbs. I find this is a really good nutritional profile for anyone trying to avoid spiking their blood sugar. Chia seeds are my favorite plant-based source of omega-3! They taste better than flax, too, in my opinion. Cocochia has been around a few years, but not everybody knows about it because it’s only sold directly through LivingFuel.com. A lot of these high-end nutritional products I’m mentioning here simply don’t have the profit margins to be carried by retail channels. That’s why many of the best nutritional products are often only available directly from their manufacturers. Summary of my top four food bars: Boundless Nutrition Oatmega-3 Wellness Bar (www.BoundlessNutrition.com) The GoodOnYa Bar (www.TheGoodOnYaBar.com) Boku Super Food Bar (www.BokuSuperfood.com) CocoChia Bar (www.LivingFuel.com) There are other high-quality food bars on the market, of course. These are just the top four I’m aware of right now. Later in the spring, I’ll be doing a more comprehensive food bar roundup and asking for samples from more companies that we can list and compare. In the mean time, these four food bars are really outstanding choices. What’s the best bar for you? Best bar for kids? Probably the Boundless Nutrition bar or the Boku Super Food bar. Best bar for vegans? Definitely the GoodOnYa Bar or the Boku bar. Best bar for diabetics? I like the nutritional profile of CocoChia, which doesn’t use any honey or other high-glycemic sweeteners. Best bar for athletes? Both the Boku Food Bar and the Boundless Nutrition bar are higher in protein and great for sustained energy. Enjoy!
