Thanks for watching! What's your favorite way to eat Plant Paradox approved chocolate? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Gundry MD's TH-cam Channel: bit.ly/2YVaIi0 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What brand do you feel is safe with regard to lead and cadmium? I haven’t eaten chocolate or baked with cacao powder, since I became aware of it. The “As You Sow” reports are really hard to decipher. Please share! I was hoping you would have mentioned it. Thank you for all you do!
Thanks for answering questions and giving me peace of mind. I used to be a huge fan of milk chocolate but switched to dark after I started Keto. Now I eat 85% and I love it. The problem with dark chocolate is that you can't find a bar without sugar in it, but the carbs were so low I bought them anyways. I can't find Lilly's - you're not the first one to say it's the best. Here we have Baker's; it has pieces of unsweetened chocolate but it's harder to calculate how much you can have and it's only 70%. Great for recipes, though. Thanks again for this video, Nicole
Thank you so much for this terrific information on chocolate, I love it! I have a question that perhaps you can address in a future episode or maybe you have already answered it... what gluten free grains can be be cooked in a pressure cooker to neutralize the lectins? I know you said oats and wheat and other grains containing gluten cannot be pressure cooked, but what about quinoa, buckwheat and other gf grains or seeds? Thanks for all your informative videos, they are so helpful!! I do have all your books btw, but I don't remember reading too much on the gf grains and pressure cooker.
I had some 95% Dark Chocolate I loved it my wife said it was the most bitter Disgusting thing she ever tried. To me it had a Dark Coffee Flavor and I love the bitterness of extra dark chocolate. For me it has to be 80% or higher Dark Chocolate.
Excited to try starting tomorrow our cocoa tablet.we call it tablea in Philippines.Has no soy in its content. No milk, no sugar.Excited for the health benefits.thanks for this video
Thank you for your honesty, Dr. Gundry. My beautiful wife and I enjoy the benefits of eating cacao chocolate. I laughed when you said where white chocolate belongs. I plan to watch more of your videos. 😀👍🏾
Dr. Gundry, can you please do a video on adult hormonal acne? As a teen my skin was flawless but upon entering my early 20’s and even my early thirties I still experience break outs predominantly around my jawline. Can you please discuss triggers (food, dairy, gluten, sugar, sleep, stress, etc) and how to heal and rid the body of inflammation causing the breakouts?
Love your work Dr. Gundry, I have two friends now reading your books and following the Plant Paradox programme! I some questions: Q1. Do you think its necessary to "Activate" nuts and seeds by soaking then dehydrating them to remove the other anti-nutrients? Q2. Would the pectin in home-made apple sauce help with a leaky gut, as suggested by Dr. Tom O'Bryan as I like to use natural remedies, instead of taking L-glutamine supplement as I'm worried that on my low protein days that it could stimulated m-TOR? Many thanks & Big hugs!
I often add raw cold pressed organic cacao powder in my coffee, good stuff! Just discovered chocolate is a good source of PQQ (great!) also learned it's high in oxalates (not so good).
Advice for people stuck on night shift , Ive been on your program 2 1/2 yrs, read all of your books and have lost over 100lbs . I do eat a small piece of 92% chocolate every day, but night shift keeps me a little run down most of the time. Thank you Dr. Gundry.
Oh Halleluiah!!! Thanks Dr. Gundry for this. I have been searching for the best cocoa powder. I love "bitter water", enjoyed by the Aztecs (l think...). It is made of a cup of hot water, cocoa powder and ceyene pepper. It has no sweetening at all. I love it. I am on a tight budget and love Hersheys, but wasn't sure if it's the healthiest version. I can afford it and cannot afford the "organics"!!! The Hershey's has the "NonGMO Project Verified" label. I am so pleased and grateful...thanks for watching out for us!!!❤❤❤
Yes, that's a great question! We need to learn about food to eat to avoid dementia, & other Nero diseases we naturally get as we age. Dr Gundry:. PLEASE TALK ABOUT BRAIN FOOD.
I am having 1T of 100% Cacao powder (non GMO/Free Trade) in a strong shot of coffee. I use my spoon to float the powder and keep it from caking on the bottom of the cup and drink until all the powder is consumed. I also sometimes add a dash of clove, nutmeg, cinnamon, and/or allspice. It’s wonderful and sugar free.
Prunes + cocoa powder (100% pure) : make a paste with the mixer and roll it like truffles over more cocoa powder. Delicius, just 2 ingredients, no fats and no added sugar, is sweet enough with the prunes
I like bitter chocolate a lot, Dr G! But kindly clarify me whether the lectin content of dark chocolate is problematic. Thanks a lots for your sharpness.
I eat 100% chocolate. No sugar or substitutes. 4 pcs 11g Fibre, calcium 6%, iron 8%, potassium 11%, magnesium 40%, manganese 25%. Ingredients cacao and cacao butter. Is it still nutritious with the cacao butter?? I also eat the raw organic bean, are these better or do the skins contain lectins. I don't mind bitter
Well presented doc. Problem with cacao is the phytic acid that blocks mineral absorbtion, but I guess the answer is to eat just small quantities right?
Hi Doc. I'm looking for a list of foods that I can eat. I'm vegan (50 year). Since I stopped eating lectins my health has improved 1000%. Thank you so very very much for your info. My life has turned around.
Thank you Dr. I had a heart attack in 2019 and lost my health insurance I had another heart attack just weeks ago and have no way of seeing a cardiologist , I'm hoping your advice will save my life.
Great info. Love the comment about white chocolate. Unfortunately, the regular dark chocolate Hershey bars (which I love) are low on cacao and high on sugar. Things you could talk about: How beneficial is daily CoQ10/ubiquinol for the heart? How beneficial is daily turmeric/curcumin supplement? Thank you.
1st comment! :o) Please give us a list of 1) The healthiest vegetables to eat and 2) the healthiest fruits. Next 3) The healthiest grains and 4) the healthiest beans. Thanks.
True. Five years ago I suffered 100.00% complete liver failure followed by right kidney, spleen and gall bladder. (Kidney 100% nearly on others) Iron less than half bottom of range, blood sugar less than 100. Dying in severe discomfort, Dr.'s did zero except cut hole in side to drain out 8liters of fluid per week. LLinda almost wanted to do surgery but said I would bleed to death. No treatments. No prescription to help but pain and diuretic. Alive because I changed diet away from theirs. I ate almost all fruits nuts raw vegetables with lots of Vitamin C. All dr.s left me. Point: You really can survive all this. Painful but if will to live is used its more important than advice. Apple seeds helped to stop all paracentisis. Raw berries too. Try it.
I make my own chocolate treat by mixing cocoa powder, coconut oil and honey with a couple dashes of salt. I realize DrG doesn’t recommend honey but it’s what’s in the cupboard till I run out and try some monk fruit(?). I’ve never had it so don’t know if it’s a fluid or powdered substance?? Anyway homemade is much less expensive and you can make a single tablespoon or a gigantic batch. It’s nice to dip walnuts in and freeze for a hot day treat 🤗
Hi mr Gundry. I find it interesting that you recommend eating chocolate. Theobromine and caffeine is known to be these particular plants method of defending themselves against predators. It is spoken of as a natural incecticide for this reason. Isn't this exactly what you say about lectins in other foods? And what would the long term implications be if theobromine and caffeine has a similar effect on the human body?
Dr. Gundry, I am a 71 years old male with BPH for more than 30 years. I'd been medicated with avodart but it only has aliviated the symptoms a bit. Nonetheless, cutting the lectins from my diet I'd got a lot better, in such a level that I eliminated the medication. My prostate is much less inflamated and I am able to urinate as in my ancient times. Is it possible that lectins were the origin of my problem?
Dr G. Question on pressure cooking. Do you still have to peel and deseed tomatoes, summer squash and zucchini before pressure cooking them? Also about beans is there additional benefit to soaking beans in water and rinsing several times over 24 hrs before pressure cooking them or is pressure cooking enough to kill the lectins?
You asked for questions regarding other topics to discuss- Please talk about Peripheral neuropathy, what can be done to help someone with this problem ? No one seems to have a solution to help ease the pain.
I have Hashimoto's and was wondering if I need to substitute or eliminate certain foods from the list in your book. I’ve been told broccoli and cauliflower shouldn’t be consumed if you have a thyroid issue.
Also address pollen allergies...especially how stevia and ragweed are in the same plant family...so monkfruit is the best alternative for those of us who are allergic to ragweed. And also why has many monkfruit brands disappeared from the grocery shelves? No longer at Kroger or Meijer in Michigan. And why is there a war against xyletol?
Technically it is the foundation that makes chocolate that is helpful not chocolate itself. As we've known for years now milk chocolate can make chronic pain worse and up inflammation. However the base cacao can help greatly with chronic conditions and inflammation. I'm specifying because some that do not know will automatically use your standard 'chocolate' from the store based on your title instead of doing the research and actually listening to the information offered.
I have SIBO, anemia, psoriatic arthritis and suffer greatly from short-term memory, lack of concentration, triggered easily by over stimuli, lacking solid rest. I have a unhealthy addiction to sugar. I don't know how to discipline without having moments of crash binges. I think I don't know my body well enough to know exactly what it needs and how to reprogram it while staying balanced. I work a physical hard job in the hot sun. I need direction..
As being Dutch i´m concerned now. We have one Dutch brand here that claims to be pure cacao powder, named Blooker, and now i am wondering if you talk about Dutch/dutch or a brand in USA that is named Dutch Cacao? Because in the first case we have to investigate this here and present that info in our food docu's about the Dutch food industry which does so many juju-tricks, its awefull. By now i use real cacao beans btw. ;-) greetings from the Netherlands.
HU brand has AMAZING dark chocolates! They use small amount of coconut sugar which is a much better type of sugar. It’s vegan, so no milk. Often you can find them filled w nut butters. They are absolutely delicious. Also they are organic. No GMOs, no soy, no crap! Also they sell dark chocolate chips which I heard are delicious but I haven’t tried them yet myself. They are a bit more expensive but honestly it’s worth it.
Hello Dr Gundry, thank you for sharing all you rich knowledge. I am so greatful to be one of your followers. Could you please tell us what are the main reasons for the acne on the forehead? Thank you
Hi Dr Gundry I have only just discovered you. I must have been living under a rock😄. Anyway I have recently started to take my health more seriously losing a good bit of weight. I'm now going down the keto road. But my research is on going and I'm excited to learn more. I have lymphodema in my left leg. Is their anything I can do to improve my symptoms. Since losing weight it has improved.
Dr Gundry have got arthritis in my knees , I use to take naproxen and diaclofinic but for about 3years ago I have stop taking both medications, I only take paracetamol when only in pains .I have managed to loose weight but still hve the knee pains. My question is is it true to go on a dairy free, gluten free,wheat free andgrain free.
Thomas Edison predicted you😂 he said “The doctor of the future will no longer treat the human frame with drugs, but rather will cure and prevent disease with nutrition” My wife has been following your program for about two years now and has improved tremendously. We’ve been together for five years now and she has always been more sensitive to food than I was but didn’t realize that the food was making her sick. She’s struggled with obesity for a long time so I think she thought it was due to that. She was 334 pounds when she started reading the plant paradox, she’s an extremely smart woman who was able to make the correlations and make sense of what you were saying right away, especially due to her sensitivities. She is 227 pounds today, I’m so happy for her, it’s amazing. I would like to say thank you from the bottom of my heart😊 me however have been going from eating healthy to not so much, I’m definitely not eating like I used to though and am trying to stick with 100%healthy eating as I do feel much better. In the last few months, I’ve lost about 30pounds, I went from about 190 pounds to 157 pounds. I have noticed that I’ve developed sensitivities since starting to cut things from my diet like rashes. I have two questions: 1- I suffer from anxiety and depression, is this diet a cure for those? Because I’m sick of taking drugs for it. 2- I don’t actually take doctor prescribed drugs as I refuse to and am able to manage it so my second question is, how do you feel about Cannabis? Oil, not smoking it as that is what I take. It’s infused mct oil, is Cannabis dangerous to consume and does it contain lectins?
I was eating dark chocolate everyday to help with sugar cravings but I kept having stomach issue. When I stopped eating the chocolate the pain went away. Do you have any explanation for this?
People keep saying dark chocolate may be to bitter. I believe it's more of an acquired taste. At first I didn't like it, now I love it. I eat 90% cacao.
Thanks for posting...just so happens that I was just eating some chocolate while watching your video. I did have a question about figs. I see a photo of a fig on your book yet they have more fructose than just about any other food. Are figs recommended and if so is it ok to eat dried figs or only fresh?.
What was the chocolate bar you had in this video? I actually enjoy a 91% chocolate that is a heart supplement as well, called Choconuvo. I have to order it.
Hey, Dr.Gundry! I've been following your channel for an year and I would like to thank for the valuable information you give us! You helped me to improve my health. I would like to know what foods do you recommend for a healthy heart,also what should you avoid and if possible to give us tips from your own experience and knowledge to help us be the healthiest we could possible be. Best Regards
blended each day: a glass of water, three fresh garlic pieces, a piece of fresh ginger, a piece of turmeric, a half of fresh lemon. You will clean the blood vessels. Raw cocoa every day because it relaxes the blood vessels and antioxidants protect the internal artery , magnesium in an absorbable form, e.g. magnesium citrate. A lot of movement, omega 3 fat (e.g., walnuts, flax), no trans fat in the diet, no redundant fatty tissue, often a smile and your heart will be happy.
Thanks for watching! What's your favorite way to eat Plant Paradox approved chocolate?

Discuss Supplements importance
It's hard to find good dark chocolate without the soy lecithin in it. I'm soy-free as everyone should be.
I have kidney stones. My doctor said that chocolate had a high level of oxalate. Should I avoid chocolate?
Dr. Gundry
You know cacao chocolate home made in its purest is very cheap here
in the Phillipines without sugar, raw cacao choco.
I use coco sugar for sweetener
Tried a 100% cacao chocolate (Montezumas Absolute black). Spat it out at first but love the stuff now.
I ate bitter chocolate 99% cocoa, earlier I wouldn't eat it, now I enjoy this bitter taste
DrG has suggested on other videos to taper off the sweet towards the bitter so it’s not such a shock.
I love bitter chocolate
I've noticed I don't feel nearly as stressed/depressed whenever I eat a couple squares of dark chocolate. Wal-Mart sells a pretty good 90% bar.
"What about white chocolate? There is exactly one place and that's the trash can."
Savage.

What brand do you feel is safe with regard to lead and cadmium? I haven’t eaten chocolate or baked with cacao powder, since I became aware of it. The “As You Sow” reports are really hard to decipher. Please share! I was hoping you would have mentioned it. Thank you for all you do!
So thankful for your work and all you are doing!!! I am in my second week and feel like a new person. 😊
Thanks for answering questions and giving me peace of mind. I used to be a huge fan of milk chocolate but switched to dark after I started Keto. Now I eat 85% and I love it.
The problem with dark chocolate is that you can't find a bar without sugar in it, but the carbs were so low I bought them anyways.
I can't find Lilly's - you're not the first one to say it's the best. Here we have Baker's; it has pieces of unsweetened chocolate but it's harder to calculate how much you can have and it's only 70%. Great for recipes, though.
Thanks again for this video, Nicole
The Peddler try HU brand chocolates. They are low sugar and they use coconut sugar which is way more wholesome and it’s full of fiber.
Best doc ever type two diabetes surge was always at 4.to 500 now never over 150 thanks

I've been eating 85% cocoa chocolate and it's fabulous!
I eat a chocolate bar that’s 88% 4 grams of fiber and only 3 grams of sugar. I can’t eat the other junk anymore.
I like raw cocoa in cup with honey
Advice for people stuck on night shift , Ive been on your program 2 1/2 yrs, read all of your books and have lost over 100lbs . I do eat a small piece of 92% chocolate every day, but night shift keeps me a little run down most of the time. Thank you Dr. Gundry.

Would like to know more about best “brain foods” and supplements to avoid dementia etc.
Yes, that's a great question! We need to learn about food to eat to avoid dementia, & other Nero diseases we naturally get as we age. Dr Gundry:. PLEASE TALK ABOUT BRAIN FOOD.
I am having 1T of 100% Cacao powder (non GMO/Free Trade) in a strong shot of coffee. I use my spoon to float the powder and keep it from caking on the bottom of the cup and drink until all the powder is consumed. I also sometimes add a dash of clove, nutmeg, cinnamon, and/or allspice. It’s wonderful and sugar free.
Love your chanel, very helpful....
Absolutely love dark chocolate 90%
Thank you dr Guntry
Try raw organic cacao 100% in coffee with heavy cream and coconut oil amazing
Prunes + cocoa powder (100% pure) : make a paste with the mixer and roll it like truffles over more cocoa powder.
Delicius, just 2 ingredients, no fats and no added sugar, is sweet enough with the prunes
I add unsweetened Coco powder to the coffee grounds when I make Espresso in my Moca Pot.
Lindt 90 percent chocolate is alkalized or “Dutch Processed”. Also, many 100 percent organic cacao powders contain heavy metals
All food contain heavy metals.
I like bitter chocolate a lot, Dr G! But kindly clarify me whether the lectin content of dark chocolate is problematic. Thanks a lots for your sharpness.
I eat 100% chocolate. No sugar or substitutes. 4 pcs 11g Fibre, calcium 6%, iron 8%, potassium 11%, magnesium 40%, manganese 25%. Ingredients cacao and cacao butter. Is it still nutritious with the cacao butter?? I also eat the raw organic bean, are these better or do the skins contain lectins. I don't mind bitter
Thank for the scoop on chocolate 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Well presented doc.
Problem with cacao is the phytic acid that blocks mineral absorbtion, but I guess the answer is to eat just small quantities right?
Hi Doc. I'm looking for a list of foods that I can eat. I'm vegan (50 year). Since I stopped eating lectins my health has improved 1000%. Thank you so very very much for your info. My life has turned around.

He should read the book
The Stevia Deception: The Hidden Dangers of Low-Calorie Sweeteners
He doesn't say u should have it regularly.
I make my own chocolate treat by mixing cocoa powder, coconut oil and honey with a couple dashes of salt.
I realize DrG doesn’t recommend honey but it’s what’s in the cupboard till I run out and try some monk fruit(?). I’ve never had it so don’t know if it’s a fluid or powdered substance??
Anyway homemade is much less expensive and you can make a single tablespoon or a gigantic batch. It’s nice to dip walnuts in and freeze for a hot day treat 🤗
Can you please make a video about the healing properties of coconut-oil? Thank you :)
Could you do a video on CBD oil?
Thanks doc..
Love you doc. Can you do a video on juices vs smoothies benefits
Hi mr Gundry. I find it interesting that you recommend eating chocolate. Theobromine and caffeine is known to be these particular plants method of defending themselves against predators.

I'd love to hear about the PP affects on high blood pressure and what to expect and how to cure it.
Thank you Doc. Love the caring.
Thank you so much 🌺🙏 What do you think about amino acids pills?
I would like to know more about Plantparadox during Pregnancy. How to eat and witch vitamines to take or not to take
Dr G. Question on pressure cooking. Do you still have to peel and deseed tomatoes, summer squash and zucchini before pressure cooking them? Also about beans is there additional benefit to soaking beans in water and rinsing several times over 24 hrs before pressure cooking them or is pressure cooking enough to kill the lectins?
Very good question
Great information. Thank you :)
Add diets for kids!! Very important to stArt a healthy life since we are kids. Thank you!!!❤️ I love your videos❤️
Good job Dr Gundry !
Hemp oil is on par with olive oil if not better if you ask me
Dr G. 99% lindt chocolate. No sugar. Amazing 🙏❤️
You asked for questions regarding other topics to discuss- Please talk about Peripheral neuropathy, what can be done to help someone with this problem ? No one seems to have a solution to help ease the pain.
Hi Dr. What are your thoughts on creatine?
Are eating fermented foods ok with the diet? Thank you so much for letting us ask questions. Cecelia
Can you please talk about how to build muscle and the right foods to eat in regards of muscle building.
Thanks!
Ditto, you talk about cutting meat down to once a week but what do we replace it with?
Why not just cacao???
Wanna know about dry and water fasting and its effects on health. How many hours to fast? How to break your fast? Etc
I have Hashimoto's and was wondering if I need to substitute or eliminate certain foods from the list in your book. I’ve been told broccoli and cauliflower shouldn’t be consumed if you have a thyroid issue.
Thank you!!!
Does dark chocolate spike blood sugar?
Also address pollen allergies...especially how stevia and ragweed are in the same plant family...so monkfruit is the best alternative for those of us who are allergic to ragweed.
And also why has many monkfruit brands disappeared from the grocery shelves? No longer at Kroger or Meijer in Michigan.
And why is there a war against xyletol?
Please provide information about understanding how to decipher ingredient labels. Such as hidden negatives...
the only problem with cacao is its high oxalate content
Technically it is the foundation that makes chocolate that is helpful not chocolate itself. As we've known for years now milk chocolate can make chronic pain worse and up inflammation.

Would love to learn about helping „cure“ hashimotos with food
Or how to help hypothyroidism.
As being Dutch i´m concerned now. We have one Dutch brand here that claims to be pure cacao powder, named Blooker, and now i am wondering if you talk about Dutch/dutch or a brand in USA that is named Dutch Cacao? Because in the first case we have to investigate this here and present that info in our food docu's about the Dutch food industry which does so many juju-tricks, its awefull.

Hello Dr Gundry, thank you for sharing all you rich knowledge.
I am so greatful to be one of your followers. Could you please tell us what are the main reasons for the acne on the forehead?
Thank you
Does coffee cause inflammation?
Hi Dr Gundry I have only just discovered you. I must have been living under a rock😄. Anyway I have recently started to take my health more seriously losing a good bit of weight. I'm now going down the keto road. But my research is on going and I'm excited to learn more. I have lymphodema in my left leg. Is their anything I can do to improve my symptoms. Since losing weight it has improved.
Please how about tropical fruits and vegetables, are they lectin as well?
Dr Gundry have got arthritis in my knees , I use to take naproxen and diaclofinic but for about 3years ago I have stop taking both medications, I only take paracetamol when only in pains .I have managed to loose weight but still hve the knee pains. My question is is it true to go on a dairy free, gluten free,wheat free andgrain free.
Thomas Edison predicted you😂 he said “The doctor of the future will no longer treat the human frame with drugs, but rather will cure and prevent disease with nutrition”
My wife has been following your program for about two years now and has improved tremendously. We’ve been together for five years now and she has always been more sensitive to food than I was but didn’t realize that the food was making her sick. She’s struggled with obesity for a long time so I think she thought it was due to that. She was 334 pounds when she started reading the plant paradox, she’s an extremely smart woman who was able to make the correlations and make sense of what you were saying right away, especially due to her sensitivities. She is 227 pounds today, I’m so happy for her, it’s amazing. I would like to say thank you from the bottom of my heart😊 me however have been going from eating healthy to not so much, I’m definitely not eating like I used to though and am trying to stick with 100%healthy eating as I do feel much better. In the last few months, I’ve lost about 30pounds, I went from about 190 pounds to 157 pounds. I have noticed that I’ve developed sensitivities since starting to cut things from my diet like rashes.
I have two questions:
1- I suffer from anxiety and depression, is this diet a cure for those? Because I’m sick of taking drugs for it.
2- I don’t actually take doctor prescribed drugs as I refuse to and am able to manage it so my second question is, how do you feel about Cannabis? Oil, not smoking it as that is what I take. It’s infused mct oil, is Cannabis dangerous to consume and does it contain lectins?
Franco Ceddia try good old exercising for depression anxiety and stress. In my opinion weights are better than cardio.
i’ll be praying for you!🙏🏼🙂
If it’s seedless ur safe.
NOOOOOOOH - bitter greens and chocolate are ridiculously high in oxalates - a plant poison.
I was eating dark chocolate everyday to help with sugar cravings but I kept having stomach issue. When I stopped eating the chocolate the pain went away. Do you have any explanation for this?
Wonderful dr Gundry,the best chocolate is made by “sacred chocolate “! With Cacau butter
People keep saying dark chocolate may be to bitter. I believe it's more of an acquired taste. At first I didn't like it, now I love it. I eat 90% cacao.
I would like to ask you, what's your opinion on raw cacao nibs and beans? Are they healthier than dark chocolate?
Thanks for posting...just so happens that I was just eating some chocolate while watching your video. I did have a question about figs. I see a photo of a fig on your book yet they have more fructose than just about any other food. Are figs recommended and if so is it ok to eat dried figs or only fresh?.
What was the chocolate bar you had in this video? I actually enjoy a 91% chocolate that is a heart supplement as well, called Choconuvo. I have to order it.
Are there lectins in seaweed and if so how do you remove them?
I have suffered with migraines for majority of my life and any type of chocolate is a trigger, although I love it.
Any thoughts on substitutions?
Are bitter almonds OK to eat ? I want to grind them up to ward off any cancer.
TY
Lily's has erythritol, which I can't have. 😕
Is there any chocolate that's sweetened with ONLY stevia?

Can you please talk about fibromyalgia, gal bladder removal or hysterectomies and how these affect the diet
Hey, Dr.Gundry! I've been following your channel for an year and I would like to thank for the valuable information you give us! You helped me to improve my health. I would like to know what foods do you recommend for a healthy heart,also what should you avoid and if possible to give us tips from your own experience and knowledge to help us be the healthiest we could possible be. Best Regards
blended each day: a glass of water, three fresh garlic pieces, a piece of fresh ginger, a piece of turmeric, a half of fresh lemon. You will clean the blood vessels.
Raw cocoa every day because it relaxes the blood vessels and antioxidants protect the internal artery , magnesium in an absorbable form, e.g. magnesium citrate. A lot of movement, omega 3 fat (e.g., walnuts, flax), no trans fat in the diet, no redundant fatty tissue, often a smile and your heart will be happy.
Is there a difference between cocoa powder and cocoa powder?
