Did you know? Cocoa flavanols are being studied for their role in insulin sensitivity: how effectively the body responds to insulin and handles glucose.
A systematic review of 19 randomized trials (PMC5086796) found modest improvements in several insulin-related markers, while other controlled studies have reported mixed results. Harvard’s Nutrition Source notes that long-term benefits remain uncertain.
A practical Friday routine: sprinkle a little unsweetened cacao powder or hand-processed cacao nibs over plain yogurt or oats, alongside fiber, protein, and healthy fats. That supports a balanced meal: not a sugar “hack.” Cacao is not a medical treatment; if you manage diabetes or take medication, follow your healthcare professional’s guidance.
Our organic Dominican cacao is sourced farm-to-table and hand-processed using traditional methods. Find Bonao Cacao at Albany Honest Weight Food Co-op, or learn more at bonaocacao.com.
