I feel very positively about raw cacao for myself...I believe that everyone is different, and everyone needs to make a decision about it for themselves. I have more to say regarding chocolate, but I'll do that another time...but in the meantime here are some resources...
An article from Brian Self:

Paul Nison's Raw Chocolate Smackdown (and some great responses to it, for different viewpoints):

Karen Knowler's "Raw Chocolate - The Truth":

In addition to these, David Wolfe (as far as I know, the biggest raw-food guru in the U.S.) and Shazzie (as far as I know, the biggest raw-food guru in the U.K.) are both HUGE fans of raw cacao. They have written a book called Naked Chocolate, and they probably have articles as well on the subject. Shazzie has a youtube video series (4 videos) called Superfoods are for real; and she mentions as one of her top superfoods in this video being cacao.
Here is the first:
Here is another video by Shazzie; Market Kitchen and Raw Chocolate...
David Wolfe's Raw Chocolate Interview (this one is part 2 of a...I think 3 part series):
Here is "David Wolfe on Chocolate":

I just read Brian Self's take. For me, I really do well with it. It has me thinking of becoming Amazonian and building a pyramid though I gotta say. It changes the way you think. My Dad had some of my cacao peanut butter cup, and was flailing and having psychodelic dreams all night in bed. It's so hilarious, he won't touch it now. It is a relationship kind of food that you gotta give and take and work on and figure out for yourself I think.

isn't that an oxymoron ???
for people who becomes aware of this latest scandal, the one presented these recent days, and still are not deeply disturbed by this...for these people, nothing noone says can convince them to see the other perspective..for now.

After the third or fourth day I seem to function better then when I am eating heavy meals. My last fast I was walking eveyday. I just feel great when I am fasting.

I'm not denying the veracity of those emails... who knows. However, here is a little background on Tim Ball. I have a hard time trusting anything he says.
