Sibö, Better for You

YOUR MIND, BODY, SPIRIT ON CHOCOLATE

A study of 20,000 people published in the Journal of Nutrition, found 6.7 grams -- about 1/4 of an ounce -- of chocolate per day is the ideal amount for a protective effect against inflammation -- a risk factor for cardiovascular disease.

People having moderate amounts of dark chocolate regularly have significantly lower levels of C-reactive protein in their blood -- a biomarker for inflammation.

"The 17 percent average reduction observed may appear quite small but it is enough to decrease the risk of cardiovascular disease for one-third in women and one-fourth in men. It is undoubtedly a remarkable outcome," lead author Romina di Giuseppe said in a statement.

"The best effect is obtained by consuming an average amount of 6.7 grams of chocolate per day, corresponding to a small square of chocolate twice or three times a week but beyond these amounts the beneficial effect tends to disappear."

Your Body on Chocolate

No Cadmium or Lead in our Chocolate

Sibö chocolate is tested safe for cadmium and lead, which have been found in other chocolate brands and have raised concern by consumer advocacy groups.

Cadmium is naturally present in some soils, which means it can be absorbed into agricultural goods produced on farms where cadmium is present. But not all soils contain cadmium. Sibö partner farms are located in regions of Costa Rica that have not shown any presence of cadmium. And lab results have confirmed that Sibö chocolate samples are cadmium free.

Our clients can also rest assured that our manufacturing and traceability standards prevent exposure to contaminants, including lead. We have never found the presence of lead in any Sibö products.
