It makes complete sense now. The chocolate/confection industry is notoriously next to impossible to compete in. Unless of course you have the government behind your product. I worked for Mars for a decade and now with Mr Beast’s Feastables. Even with the success of Feastables, it takes millions of dollars and a ton if demand to get placed in just one national chain. The global giants pay millions in “rebate” money to retailers in order to maintain shelf placement and share of shelf. If there was no AMLO connection, the ONLY thing that would make sense is Travis’s suggestion; working with the International Companies that have the systems and infrastructure in place to make this a successful venture. With global cacao prices at all time highs, there should be a market for Mexico’s cacao. Although, I question the amount/quantity that Mexico can produce. Perhaps a government initiative to have the international brands use Mexican cacao in products for the Mexican market. No matter how much you want to BS the public, chocolate is healthy the same way opioids and cocaine are medicine. They fill a need, but cause more problems in the long run. With Mexico’s variety and abundance of produce, I would think there are better options for products the government could support and promote. Of course, if true, those products don’t benefit AMLO’s family. It may not be “corruption” per se, but it’s not a good look. No better than Trump and his cronies profiting off of his role in government. Sheinbaum ain’t as altruistic as she wants everyone to believe.

No.

“Natural cane sugar” or “raw sugar” undergoes slightly less processing than refined white sugar. This means it retains a minuscule amount of molasses, which gives it a slightly brownish color and may contain trace amounts of minerals like calcium, iron, and magnesium. However, these amounts are so small that they don’t offer significant nutritional benefits.

Both types of sugar are rapidly digested, leading to a quick spike in blood sugar and insulin levels. This can contribute to weight gain, increased risk of type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and other health issues when consumed in excess.

The key takeaway is moderation for all added sugars. Whether it’s “natural cane sugar,” white sugar, honey, or maple syrup, they are all forms of added sugar and should be limited in your diet. Focus on getting your sugar from whole food sources like fruits, which offer a wealth of nutrients along with their natural sweetness.

I’m a chocolate lover and have grown to prefer a dark chocolate (90%) with my morning coffee. Will there be an initiative in this effort to produce a dark chocolate? I agree with the benefits of chocolate and applaud the effort with this initiative.
