cacao delivers. 

A main concern for many Hispanic Americans today is bad cholesterol. According to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) 41.9 % of Mexican American men and 31.6% of Mexican American women has high cholesterol. Having a high LDL or “bad” cholesterol puts you at a high risk of developing stroke and heart disease. Furthermore, the seventh leading cause of death in the United States is diabetes. CDC named Hispanics as one of the groups at high risk. 

Where does cacao come in all of this? 

Cacao is the raw form of chocolate. It is native to Central and South America. Cacao has omega-6 fatty acids which aids with weight loss, healthy cholesterol levels, and heart health. It’s also rich in antioxidants, minerals, and is a good source of soluble fiber which may aid in glucose control.
