Wondering if Xocai Chocolate is a Scam?

Before investing in it or reading other so-called "honest reviews," I urge you to take your time to read this page.

I'm always slow to call something a scam, because in the end, everyone has their own perspective on the value of a product or service. And if you value something, then you should be welcome to spend your money on it. That's my view.

But I also know that sometimes people are persuaded into seeing a value in something when the value isn't really there. Usually because they don't know where to see the chinks in someone's logic. And I know a lot of Xocai distributors are using the search term "Xocai scam" or calling you into their website for an "honest" review of Xocai, only to try selling you on this so-called healthy chocolate.

Full Disclosure: I distribute a different chocolate. But I'm also a holistic health consultant, and I perform in-depth research on behalf of my clients because I have a reputation to uphold with them. I don't want to be caught selling them something for the money, but for their health.

That's why this entire website exists.

In fact, I don't consider chocolate to be the first place to sink your money in terms of health supplements. I only know that a lot of people WANT to spend some money on chocolate every month. And if you're going to anyway, you might as well get one that can really do your body some good.

Xocai has been presented as a healthy chocolate because cacao -- from which chocolate is made -- is in fact a very healthy food. It is an excellent source of anti-oxidants and magnesium, in addition to providing many other valuable nutrients.

My big issue with Xocai is that the cacao they use is NOT organic (click here to learn why that's important) and it's loaded with sugar (25% to 39% for Nuggets and Power Bars respectively). Sugar leads to many health problems, including problems with weight and blood sugar. Then they tell people that it's good for diets and and diabetics. I STRONGLY DISAGREE.

(Yes, Xocai uses fructose rather than sucrose. This is a BIG improvement over sucrose, but it is still sugar and still spikes blood sugar 2 to 3 times more than natural, healthy sugar alternatives.)

In fact, if you don't require your chocolate to be organic and you don't mind the sugar, you can get "healthy chocolate" bars with less sugar and therefore more cocoa content for far less money because they're sold through retail.

So in this sense, I consider Xocai chocolate a scam. Because of its multi-level marketing (MLM) nature, Xocai is expensive, plain and simple. Yes, it tastes good by the way ... but so does most chocolate.

If you're going to spend extra on chocolate, then I recommend buying truly healthy chocolate. The only MLM chocolate I recommend is Tru Chocolate, because the cacao is organic and they've replaced the unhealthy sugar with healthy (and diet / diabetic friendly) xylitol.

It has a unique chocolate taste because of the xylitol and perhaps in part from the herbal additions. But if you like its distinctive flavor, you'll LOVE what it's doing for you.

There's also another type of healthy chocolate I recommend. It can be purchased in select locations (it's not MLM), and it's the ONLY chocolate we carry as a retailer in our health shop. It's called Gnosis Chocolate. It is all organic and uses agave nectar (low glycemic index for diabetics and those on diets) to sweeten it. However, it is as expensive as MLM chocolate, and you'll never earn any money from recommending it to others.

So if you want to spend a lot on chocolate, I recommend spending on a truly healthy chocolate. If you're going to buy one with sugar, there are better and cheaper options than Xocai.
