Educate people about the enormous health benefits found in Dark Chocolate! Selling vs Sharing.
One of the keys to building a Dark Chocolate business is educating people about its health benefits. When we first started telling people that they could eat chocolate everyday because it was healthy, we received some "yeah right" responses. Once we were able to show them the research and the Xocai product line, they were all ears. We found that it is more of an
educating process then a selling process in regards to getting people to use Xocai, and consider starting their own Healthy Chocolate Business.
Here's a little human psychology to keep in mind as you pursue your career as a marketer: "People do not like to be sold, but they DO like to buy." It is much more effective to pull people to our product by educating them on the benefits over time, than it is to push it on them because you want to make a sale. Visit DarkChocolateResearch.com to see a great presentation about the health benefits of Dark Chocolate.

Some facts about the health benefits of Dark Chocolate!
Raw Cacao is the world's richest source of antioxidants flavinoids
Flavinoids are the same health compounds found in red wine and green tea and raw cacao has more of these compounds than both of them.
Unprocessed cocoa powder has one of the highest known ORAC scores. It is also the only known food not to lose its ORAC over significant periods of time.
Cacao beans contain over 300 chemically identifiable compounds making it one of the most complex food substances on Earth.
There are over 3,000 scientific studies documenting the health benefits of raw cacao and/or dark chocolate
Why do we need Antioxidants? Almost everyone has heard of free-radicals and antioxidants. Free Radicals are unstable molecules that attack the cells in the body. They are the "bad-guys" and they affect everyone. Free radicals are a by-product of breathing, stress and pollution. Regardless of how healthy you are or what kind of environment you live in, your body is constantly bombarded with free radicals. Estimates by experts suggest that every cell in your body is attacked an average of 10,000 times every single day.
Scientists have linked Free Radical and oxidation damage to more than 200 diseases and disease processes including certain types of cancer, heart disease, diabetes, high cholesterol, cataracts, arthritis, Alzheimer's, Multiple Sclerosis, inflammatory bowel disease, lung disease, fibromyalgia and others.
Free Radicals can be controlled with compounds called antioxidants. Antioxidants neutralize free radicals.

So how can we tell which foods are best for antioxidants? This is the very question that top researchers set out to answer when they developed an objective scientific test that would measure the potency and power of antioxidants from different sources. The test produces a number commonly known as an ORAC score. ORAC is an acronym for Oxygen Radical Absorption Capacity. Antioxidants are like sponges that absorb and neutralize the free radicals. The higher the score the more oxygen free radicals can be absorbed and neutralized. The table illustrates the differences that we see from food to food. Raw spinach scores far better than cherries or red grapes. Blueberries, long believed to be the richest antioxidant food, is nearly twice as powerful as raw spinach. But look at Acai Berry and Unprocessed Cocoa Powder...they dominate the list with scores of 18,500 and 26,000. Xocai utilizes both of these super-foods in their product along with blueberry powder. But their real secret isn't just in the ingredients...it's in their proprietary method for processing the raw cacao. That process is revolutionary in that preserves the health benefits of the raw cacao while maintaining the rich satisfying flavor of gourmet chocolate. The result is a delicious real Belgian chocolate with all the nutrition left intact. |
