My Top 50 natural foods and products from Expo West

Blue Stripes is hands down the cleanest chocolate I have found! I love their booth its always fascinating seeing the actual cacao pods. Yes, they had an abundance of football-sized cacao pods from Ecuador. One of the top 10 things that helped me heal my tumor and health issues was cacao, I write about cacao in all of my books and its healing potential. Cacao is chocolate in its rawest and purest form before it’s made into chocolate. You can eat this type of chocolate every day because it is a functional food. People who get it, get it.
