There's an unmistakable overlap between what Mayans and Aztecs knew many centuries ago about Xocolatl (show-co-la-til), the cocoa drink that they called the "food of the gods," and what Buddha knew over 2600 years ago about compassion. While the Mesoamericans were convinced about the magical aphrodisiacal powers of the early version of chocolate, Buddha's wisdom revealed the healing miracles of compassion to the world. Mayans and Aztecs were concerned about the limited body while Buddha was after the unlimited soul. Even as the tall claims about the physical benefits of chocolate are under scientific scrutiny, modern psychologists have already built strong evidence in support of compassion's power to heal the soul. Building on this proof, this book takes the miraculous power of compassion to a new level. It offers an alternative way of thinking about suffering associated with different human conditions-from anger, anxiety, fear, sex, sin and depression, to love, marriage, divorce, and suicide. Science and spirituality come together in an uncommon marriage to help unravel the cause of suffering through a fresh perspective. This book proposes a solution that is not only easily and effortlessly accessible at all times but is one that enlightened souls like Jesus, Patanjali, Buddha, Guru Nanak, Mohammed and others prescribed widely. The awareness I was blessed with during a deep meditation in January 2016 offered a new insight about this simple remedy. That's what I share in this book. I am convinced that the path to end suffering can be accessed through a simple and pragmatic shift in the lens through which we witness and experience the material and sensual world. I invite you to join me on this humbling journey with an open mind so that our voyage together can be mutually enriching. All profits from the sale of this book will be used to provide assistance to abandoned and abused children so that they can have a fair chance at life.

In the ancient past, cocoa has been appreciated as a high-calorie food to boost energy in soldiers and for its undefined medicinal and mystical properties. During other times, chocolate has been considered as the forbidden “food of God”: a treasure of pleasure for the mind and the soul. The overall perception of the consumer for chocolate was of a “charming” and appealing food with lots of negative aspects related to high sugar content leading to consider chocolate as “junk food” for its “obesigen” calories. Recently, in association with the renewed interest of nutrition science in alternative source of health-promoting foods and ingredients, a large body of research has been conducted to unravel the pro and cons of cocoa in relation to human health. Epidemiological evidences indicate that cocoa consumption helps preventing cardiovascular disease for its high content in bioactive flavonoids. Clinical trials show that chocolate consumption might improve vascular function, decreasing platelet aggregation and display an antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effect. The putative protective action of cocoa seems to be multi-factorial and involving different aspects of vascular, antioxidant and endothelial function. However, the mechanism(s) that account for the benefits of cocoa it is still unclear. The aim of this Research Topic is therefore to provide the reader with an objective picture of the state of art on the association between cocoa and health, mainly through the evidences of human trials; overwhelmingly considered the golden standard for nutritional science. The Research Topic will cover the analysis of the manufacturing processes of the chocolate and the antioxidant effects in humans as well as the majority of the putative health effects of chocolate and cocoa, such as anti-inflammatory properties, effect on immunity, platelet aggregation, blood pressure, endothelial function and cognitive behavior. Unraveling the functional properties of cocoa will help to understand if the 'food of God' is a primordial gift for the health of mankind.

This book, written by global experts, provides a comprehensive and topical analysis on the economics of chocolate. While the main approach is economic analysis, there are important contributions from other disciplines, including psychology, history, government, nutrition, and geography. The chapters are organized around several themes, including the history of cocoa and chocolate — from cocoa drinks in the Maya empire to the growing sales of Belgian chocolates in China; how governments have used cocoa and chocolate as a source of tax revenue and have regulated chocolate (and defined it by law) to protect consumers' health from fraud and industries from competition; how the poor cocoa producers in developing countries are linked through trade and multinational companies with rich consumers in industrialized countries; and how the rise of consumption in emerging markets (China, India, and Africa) is causing a major boom in global demand and prices, and a potential shortage of the world's chocolate.

This book entitled “Cocoa, Chocolate, and Human Health” presents the most recent findings about cocoa and health in 14 peer-reviewed chapters including nine original contributions and five reviews from cocoa experts around the world. Bioavailability and metabolism of the main cocoa polyphenols, i.e., the flavanols like epicatechin, are presented including metabolites like valerolactones that are formed by the gut microbiome. Many studies, including intervention studies or epidemiological observations, do not focus on single compounds, but on cocoa as a whole. This proves the effectiveness of cocoa as a functional food. A positive influence of cocoa on hearing problems, exercise performance, and metabolic syndrome is discussed with mixed results; the results about exercise performance are contradictive. Evidence shows that cocoa flavanols may modulate some risk factors related to metabolic syndrome such as hypertension and disorders in glucose and lipid metabolism. However, several cardiometabolic parameters in type 2 diabetics were not affected by a flavanol-rich cocoa powder as simultaneous treatment with pharmaceuticals might have negated the effect of cocoa. The putative health-promoting components of cocoa are altered during processing like fermentation, drying, and roasting of cocoa beans. Chocolate, the most popular cocoa product, shows remarkable losses in polyphenols and vitamin E during 18 months of storage.
