That's what those psychedelic nibs do to you. Thankfully they're finally out of my system. I'm no longer buzzing like an electrified linebacker looking for a kill - I've calmed down to the vibrational energy of a big salad, with glistening greens, happy tomatoes, a slumbering avocado, and a few energy-packed nuts to keep me relatively potent...

Sorry Tamukha, but Bobby just has to keep singing...

like with hot chocolatesmiling smiley seems heat somehow transforms some of the contents of chocolate to something healthier for the average person? or not?

Its been a while since i viewed the study curator so i cant really remember how they heated the raw cacao. All i remember was that the outcome showed an opposite effect to being a stimulant for the caffeine and theobromine.

I don't believe it. Cacao is fermented in the tropical sun, that's VERY hot! Still makes people buzzy. Maybe once it's ground if it's boiled in a liquid or something but getting it hot has already happened.

It was only one study i read so its not conclusive, but then again neither is the sun.

But i agree its only one study so nothing should be taken as conclusion and cacao effects me very adversely.
