A brief history of chocolate – and some of its surprising health benefits

1. Chocolate in all its forms is something that I, along with many others like to indulge in on an almost daily basis. But chocolate as it’s
enjoyed today is quite different from when it first arrived in Europe from South America around the 16th century. To the indigenous Aztec
people, cocoa was consumed as a drink and held great cultural and medicinal significance. It was almost viewed as a panacea that could
cure various ailments, including fever, diarrhoea, fatigue, angina and tooth decay. The Aztec belief that cocoa was a divine elixir was
probably due to the notion that it was a gift from Quetzalcoatl, the Aztec god of wind and wisdom. Perhaps this is why Swedish botanist
Carl Linnaeus named the plant Theobroma cacao, from the ancient Greek words “theos” meaning god and “broma” meaning food – “food of
the gods”.

2. It’s more likely though that the reason for any potential benefits is due to the high concentration of polyphenols found in natural cocoa –
known as cocoa flavanols. Polyphenols are antioxidant compounds in fruit and vegetables that protect the body from free radicals, which in
excess have been linked to various diseases. So while cocoa may not be the cure-all it was once believed to be, research shows it’s more
than just a guilty pleasure.

A rich past
3. The person thought to be responsible for beginning the integration of cocoa into Europe was Hernan Cortes, a Spanish conquistador
(soldier and explorer) following his return from the “New World”. In 1518, Cortes and his men arrived in what is now Mexico and headed
towards the Aztec capital of Tenochtitlan. During their time in Mexico, the Spaniards tasted a bitter drink known as “chikolatl”. The drink
contained roasted cocoa beans that were crushed, then boiled in water with spices and chilli.
4. The first exposure to the drink was not a favourable experience for the Spaniards – deeming it too bitter and almost unpalatable. But
having seen Montezuma II, king of the Aztecs, consume the drink around 50 times a day, Cortes was interested in the potential of cocoa and
sought to bring it back to Spain following his conquest. Once in Europe cocoa beans were crushed and mixed with honey and sugar,
becoming a popular drink among the elite. Eventually, in the 19th century, the first chocolate bar was made by Joseph Fry and Sons,
creating what we know as chocolate today.

From bean to bar


5. While cocoa beans in their natural form contain a high amount of antioxidant compounds, the processes involved in turning beans into a
bar reduces the cocoa flavanol content, lowering the antioxidant properties of the cocoa. Indeed, research shows that natural cocoa powder
contains almost ten times more flavanols than cocoa that has been through this process. As for chocolate bars, dark chocolate almost
always contains a higher concentration of flavanols than milk chocolate. For example, a 25g serving of high percentage (more than 75%)
dark chocolate can contain more than 80mg cocoa flavanols compared with around 10mg or lower per 25g for a milk chocolate bar.

Health benefits
6. Research has found that dark chocolate and cocoa products containing at least 200mg of cocoa flavanols can improve blood vessels'
elasticity, which helps with blood flow. And regularly consuming cocoa flavanols – even doses of 80mg a day – improves blood vessels’
ability to dilate or expand, which helps the body regulate blood pressure and blood flow to organs. This is thought to be because cocoa
flavanols increase the concentration of bioactive nitric oxide. This is a molecule involved in the widening of blood vessels that also has anti-
inflammatory properties and reduces the formation of blood clots, all of which can have beneficial effects on blood pressure.

7. Cocoa flavanols can also increase blood flow to the brain, which may improve cognitive performance. And they may help to reduce
cognitive decline by protecting the brain from free radical damage. Alongside cardiovascular and cognitive benefits, cocoa flavanols may
also help improve muscle recovery following strenuous exercise, thanks to their potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits. A recent
study found that a single high dose of 1245mg cocoa flavanols (15g of a high flavanol cocoa powder) slightly improved muscle recovery. So
next time you are in the mood for some chocolate, perhaps select a high percentage dark variety or a natural cocoa powder for any
potential health benefits.

Why Throat Singer Shina Novalinga is Sharing Her Inuit Culture on TikTok

*Puvirnituq, Nunavik = a town in Northern Canada

totem pole

1. For as long as she can remember, 22-year-old Shina Novalinga has been surrounded by throat singing. Her mother, Caroline, is a
professional throat singer who learned from Inuk elders in their hometown of Puvirnituq, Nunavik*. When Novalinga was seven, Caroline
began passing on the tradition – teaching her how to perform the musical and playful “game” between two singers who stand face to face
and use breath and guttural sounds to create a rhythm.

2. Last spring, on a whim, Novalinga uploaded a throat singing video that she and her mom had recorded on TikTok. The video quickly went
viral, with millions tuning in to watch the duo make rhythms inspired by the sounds of wind and wildlife. Since then, Novalinga has shared
more than 100 videos, highlighting other aspects of her culture, like food and fashion, too. We caught up with Novalinga to chat about
using social media to share her heritage, the community she’s building online and what her travels have taught her.
3. ENROUTE (ER) You shared your first TikTok video last April – now each one is seen by millions. What’s it been like to grow a
community there?

SHINA NOVALINGA (SN) I’ve received so much positive feedback from around the world. What’s really touched my mother and I are the
responses from people who have said that our throat singing has helped them cope with anxiety or calmed them down. And even though
we don’t have the same background, my videos help people embrace who they are, and make them want to learn more about their own
cultures. I’ve also been connecting with other Indigenous creators like James Jones, Michelle Chubb and Tia Wood – we’re building this
beautiful community where we support and learn from each other.

4. ER Inuit throat singing was nearly lost in Canada after Christian missionaries banned it in the early 20th century. What does it
mean to you to be able to reclaim throat singing in this way?

SN It means so much because there aren’t many women who know how to throat sing, but my mother is one of them. She learned directly
from a professional, an elder, someone who kept the culture alive and passed it down to younger generations. And now, to put it on social
media, I feel like our voices – mine, my mother’s and our people’s – are finally being heard. We want to throat sing for those who couldn’t.

5. ER Have you discovered other forms of throat singing on TikTok?


SN I knew there were regional styles of throat singing, but I’ve learned more about them through social media. My mother and I were
surprised to hear different versions of songs like “The Little Puppy” and “The Love Song.” We’ve connected with throat singers from
Mongolia, Arctic Siberia, Alaska, Nunavut and Nunavik who make different sounds as well. We all hope to meet one day.

6. ER What’s one of your favourite travel experiences where you learned a lot about another culture?

SN I went to Mongolia a couple years ago. We weren’t just in the capital city, Ulaanbaatar – we went three hours into the countryside and
truly experienced the culture. My friend told me that Mongolians kiss with their noses the same as we do. So, I asked a Mongolian family we
visited to show me. I was surprised that we had that in common, when we’re from another part of the world. I’ve noticed that with many
different cultures, though: We share the same history and even some of the same practices. That’s what I take from all of my trips. It’s
beautiful to learn from each other and to accept each other’s differences, not to judge and to be appreciative of all the cultures in the world.
