For High Blood Pressure: When do you eat the chocolate? Thanks.Replied By Tynita (Seaford, Delaware) on 11/11/2009
how often do u eat the dark chocolate? Is it only when your blood pressure is high or is it a everyday thing until it becomes normal?Replied By Pahlee (Phila, Pa) on 11/11/2009
That is a first, I thought it would run it up, so if hershey kisses does the trick, what about hershey's chocolate bars, those i really love. how much should be ingested each day, if it's the bars instead of the kisses.will check back later.
EC: Typically the higher the percentage of cocoa in a chocolate bar, the better. You can find cocoa bars with 99% cocoa now - very strong and bitter!

Hershey's is not going to cut it- not even close. There's so much junk in that stuff. Look up info on raw chocolate- you can google it and learn a lot of wonderful info on it and it can do wonders. It is considered one of the superfoods of the planet. Hence, why the Aztecs revered it for its power. It is available in Whole Foods if you have one near you or you can mail order it online from lots of the raw food sites. I have been using it now for about 2 weeks after being interested in this world ever since starting the mini beet protocol over a month ago.Replied By Yeschocolate (Los Angeles, CA) on 12/27/2014
Chocolate "works" on BP through beta-blocker mechanism. Literature says dark chocolate works better because it's more concentrated, but also because milk proteins block the effect, so do not wash down dark chocolate with milk! About 1-2 ounces of 85% or 90% chocolate works for me, but that is a lot of chocolate. I get some mild effects with milk chocolate when I eat it simply because I like it!Replied By Andrea (Idaho) on 10/14/2021
Dark chocolate has magnesium and zinc. It's likely you were low.
