Cacao vs Cocoa and why it matters for your health (article)
Indigenous Tribe Drinks 5 Cups of Cocoa Daily (Clean Arteries, Normal BP & Blood Sugar)
There’s an indigenous group of people called the Kuna in Panama that are a fascinating story in longevity as well as stellar cardiovascular health, and lack of metabolic diseases like Diabetes, etc.
The Kuna people drink an average of 5 cups of a type of cocoa every day and they have 9x lower rates of cardiovascular problems than the rest of the world.
High blood pressure is also almost non-existent in these people, yet they actually consume a good amount of salt.
And cancer rates are an astonishing 15x lower than the rest of the world. And they don’t eat much leafy green vegetables either like most Americans try to stuff down.
They also consume a fair amount of sugar, yet their arteries are clean as a whistle, and blood sugar and blood pressure are normal and healthy.
But researchers found that it’s NOT their genetics, because members who moved to cities and started eating modern processed foods suffered all the same health problems as most of the world (Diabetes, obesity, heart disease, etc).
In today’s article, you’ll find out the Kuna’s longevity secrets, and what exact type of cocoa they drink that could be a huge part of their incredible health...

This type of cacao they drink has also been shown to have up to 63x the antioxidant levels of broccoli and kale.
These particular flavanols (a type of polyphenol) in this type of cacao are shown in studies to improve heart health, lower blood pressure, boost blood flow throughout the body, improve blood sugar, and even improve your gut health by diversifying your microbiome.
Even more exciting is that the article will show you a study where cacao drinkers had nearly DOUBLE the levels of GLP-1 in their body within 2 hours of drinking cacao than people that didn’t drink the cacao.
And as you know, GLP-1 in your body can help you slim down faster, so this is also a really cool benefit of drinking cacao, but strength and polyphenol levels matter as you’ll see below...
Read this article to see the type of cacao that has all of these powerful benefits. Hint: It’s NOT your average grocery store cocoa.
Biden’s Border Policy Claims Another Victim in Virginia
Carmen Lizet Puch should be alive today. She should be reading bedtime stories to her 3-year-old daughter, planning weekend trips, worrying about ordinary things like preschool enrollment and grocery bills. Instead, she’s dead. Murdered in a park in Great Falls, Virginia, allegedly by a man who never should have been in this country to begin with.
The details are brutal. Alexis Antonio Cedillos-Campos, an illegal alien from El Salvador, reportedly confessed to everything. Police say he left his restaurant job in the early morning hours of August 17 carrying a knife, gloves, and a bottle filled with gasoline he’d siphoned from his motorcycle. He went to that park with Carmen, his coworker. What happened next reads like a horror film. Stabbed to death, then doused with gasoline and set on fire. A human being reduced to a crime scene because our government couldn’t be bothered to enforce the most basic function of a sovereign nation.
How should federal agencies balance humanitarian immigration policies with their duty to protect local communities from violent crime?
