This way, the chocolatier explains that the natural goodness from the chocolate remains. \u003cbr/\u003eThis differs from most commercially-produced chocolate which is heated up to 130 degrees centigrade, and higher.\u003cbr/\u003eGird explains: \"So I think the growing trend for raw chocolate is also embedded in the whole raw food movement. So there's a movement for minimal cooking or minimal heating of food, just to retain the natural anti-oxidants or whateverďż˝ the minerals or whatever it may be. So cocoa is part of that - you can do it raw, with a very good quality bean.\"\u003cbr/\u003eIn need of a chocolate boost? Dietician, Kim Hoffman says cacao can act as a mood elevator. \u003cbr/\u003e'The benefits of the raw chocolate, and thereby the cacao is firstly that cacao has anti-depressant qualities. It contains phenethylamines which is a neuro transmitter which is found in the brain and actually acts as a mood elevator. It also enhances the blood endorphins, which are the happy opiates, and they are basically around when you are on a high. Then it also boosts serotonin, and that is the neuro-transmitter that anti-depressants often target.\"\u003cbr/\u003eThe dietician also says raw chocolate contains a high amount of polyphenols, which give chocolate its bitter taste. \u003cbr/\u003eMany commercially produced chocolates take out the polyphenols to remove the bitter taste of chocolate, and remove the health benefits of the cacao bean. \u003cbr/\u003eIn the chocolate being made at the Honest Chocolate company, the raw chocolate is free of preservatives, artificial colouring or emulsifiers.\u003cbr/\u003eIt is also free of dairy and cane sugar.\u003cbr/\u003eCommercial chocolate tends to have a high sugar content.\u003cbr/\u003eHonest raw chocolate  is 72% cacao, and most of the rest is agave nectar, which as a fructose sugar is said to have a slow release rather than the fast release energy of cane sugar, which is a sucrose. \u003cbr/\u003eNontheless is it still a sugar.\u003cbr/\u003eLeonie Joubert is a food science writer, and says chocolate should be a treat, and not something that is eaten everyday. \u003cbr/\u003eShe says over loading on sugar could lead to obesity, and weight-related illnesses. \u003cbr/\u003e\"Confection is something we should eat as a special occasion thing, not every day. And certain confections do need a small amount of sugar to round out the flavor nicely. A nice organic chocolate does need a smattering of sugar just to make it fuller. The problem is with so much confection is it's very cheap, we eat it every day, and it's got much more sugar than is necessary. The problem is over exposure to sugar over a long period of time - it causes this repeated inflammatory response in the body, which now is linked to heart disease. Obviously it's linked to obesity and weight problems and the associated diseases.\"\u003cbr/\u003eThe Honest Chocolate shop sells handmade, raw chocolates. \u003cbr/\u003eRegular customer, Jessica Bonin is perhaps a connoisseur of the chocolate flavours. \u003cbr/\u003eShe is in the store for a sampling of the raw chocolate products.\u003cbr/\u003e\"What I find quite remarkable about their chocolate is that you are not overwhelmed by the sugar so you actually get to taste the chocolate itself, which is really so luxurious and quite decadent. I think that that's what everyone seeks when they have chocolate but you're just overwhelmed by sugar. And it's not to say it's not sweet, it's really deliciously sweet but in a beautiful balanced way.\"\u003cbr/\u003eAnd for Bonnin, just one chocolate is enough for her chocolate fix. \u003cbr/\u003eAP Television  \u003cbr/\u003eCape Town, South Africa - 5 June 2014\u003cbr/\u003e1.
