So it's the same but processed differently. Cacao is rawest form of chocolate. Much better health benefits. Cocoa is just more processed and that takes a lot of the nutrition out of it. And many times when u buy it in the store they add junk to it. So if you are looking at chocolate bars sometimes try say a % cacao. The higher the better health wise. Don't cry! Go get some cacao! It's good for you! And I'm so glad dtube worked for you!!
