According to znaturalfoods.com, some of the health benefits of raw cacao are:

Has been shown to inhibit cataract formation in diabetic lab rats
Anti-inflammation

Anti-platelet function

Strong stress reliever
Relaxes muscles

My only experience with Cocoa re:Psoriasis treatment was being given a lump of Cocoa Butter to put on my skin. It severely aggravated the P! Good job I only put it on lower legs to test and not all over...
