El extracto de cacao viene del mismo grano que el chocolate, pero sin el az\u00facar, la manteca ni la leche<\/strong>. Eso cambia bastante las cosas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Del grano al extracto<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

El cacao sale de las semillas del Theobroma cacao<\/em><\/strong>, un \u00e1rbol originario de Am\u00e9rica tropical. El nombre bot\u00e1nico es lindo: theobroma<\/em> significa literalmente \u201calimento de los dioses\u201d<\/strong> en griego.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ud83c\udf6b Cacao no es lo mismo que chocolate<\/strong>Una barra de chocolate com\u00fan tiene az\u00facar, manteca de cacao y a veces leche<\/strong>. El porcentaje que ves en el envase \u201445%, 70%, 85%\u2014 indica cu\u00e1nto de ese producto viene realmente del cacao<\/strong>.

El resto, en general, es az\u00facar.

El extracto de cacao<\/strong> que aparece en suplementos es otra cosa: es una preparaci\u00f3n concentrada de los compuestos del grano, sin az\u00facar agregada.

\ud83d\udca1 Y ac\u00e1 va un dato \u00fatil para el supermercado: cuanto m\u00e1s alto el porcentaje de cacao, menos az\u00facar tiene la barra<\/strong>. Por eso el chocolate amargo es tan distinto del con leche.<\/span><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Los flavanoles<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

El compuesto que caracteriza al cacao son los flavanoles<\/strong>, que pertenecen a la familia de los polifenoles \u2014la misma de las catequinas del t\u00e9 verde<\/a> y del resveratrol de la uva.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Es un campo con investigaci\u00f3n activa<\/strong> y tambi\u00e9n con muchas afirmaciones que van bastante m\u00e1s lejos de lo que muestran los estudios. Nosotros nos quedamos con lo primero.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u26a0\ufe0f Por qu\u00e9 reescribimos esta p\u00e1gina<\/strong>La versi\u00f3n anterior de esta nota hac\u00eda afirmaciones sobre el sistema cardiovascular<\/strong> que no le corresponden a un comercio de suplementos deportivos. Las sacamos.

Si te interesa el cacao por un tema de salud cardiovascular, eso lo eval\u00faa un m\u00e9dico<\/strong>. No es una p\u00e1gina de suplementos la que tiene que orientarte ah\u00ed.<\/span><\/div>\n\n\n\n

El cacao tambi\u00e9n tiene estimulantes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Dato pr\u00e1ctico que casi nadie menciona: el cacao contiene teobromina<\/strong> y algo de cafe\u00edna<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

La teobromina es un compuesto emparentado con la cafe\u00edna, m\u00e1s suave y de acci\u00f3n m\u00e1s prolongada. Es, dicho sea de paso, lo que hace que el chocolate sea t\u00f3xico para los perros<\/strong>: ellos lo metabolizan mucho m\u00e1s lento que nosotros.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Otro dato: el magnesio<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

El cacao amargo es una de las fuentes alimentarias m\u00e1s ricas en magnesio<\/strong>. Si busc\u00e1s incorporar ese mineral con la comida, aparece siempre en las listas junto a las semillas y los frutos secos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ten\u00e9s m\u00e1s sobre eso en nuestra ficha del magnesio<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

D\u00f3nde aparece<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

En el rubro deportivo, el extracto de cacao aparece dentro de f\u00f3rmulas<\/strong>, sobre todo en algunos quemadores. No se vende suelto.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Preguntas frecuentes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\u00bfEl extracto de cacao es lo mismo que el chocolate?<\/strong><\/strong><\/summary>

No. Una barra de chocolate tiene az\u00facar, manteca de cacao y a veces leche<\/strong>. El extracto es una preparaci\u00f3n concentrada de los compuestos del grano, sin az\u00facar.
\ud83d\udca1 Dato \u00fatil: el porcentaje que ves en una barra indica cu\u00e1nto viene del cacao. Cuanto m\u00e1s alto, menos az\u00facar.<\/strong><\/p><\/details>

\u00bfTiene cafe\u00edna?<\/strong><\/strong><\/summary>

S\u00ed, algo. Y tambi\u00e9n teobromina<\/strong>, un compuesto emparentado, m\u00e1s suave y de acci\u00f3n m\u00e1s prolongada.
Es lo mismo que hace que el chocolate sea t\u00f3xico para los perros: ellos lo metabolizan mucho m\u00e1s lento que las personas.<\/p><\/details>

\u00bfQu\u00e9 son los flavanoles?<\/strong><\/strong><\/summary>

Son los compuestos que caracterizan al cacao. Pertenecen a la familia de los polifenoles<\/strong>, igual que las catequinas del t\u00e9 verde.
Es un campo con investigaci\u00f3n activa. Sobre efectos concretos, la evidencia sigue construy\u00e9ndose.<\/p><\/details>

\u00bfEs cierto que el cacao tiene magnesio?<\/strong><\/strong><\/summary>

S\u00ed. El cacao amargo es una de las fuentes alimentarias m\u00e1s ricas en magnesio<\/strong>, junto con las semillas y los frutos secos.
Es uno de los pocos casos donde algo rico coincide con algo nutritivo. Aprovechalo.<\/p><\/details><\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

C\u00f3mo escribimos esta ficha<\/strong>Con los extractos vegetales hay que ser especialmente prudentes<\/strong>: circulan much\u00edsimas afirmaciones sin respaldo. Ac\u00e1 describimos qu\u00e9 es la planta, qu\u00e9 compuesto la caracteriza y en qu\u00e9 productos aparece.

De esta p\u00e1gina sacamos afirmaciones sobre el sistema cardiovascular que no nos corresponden.

No prometemos resultados. Los suplementos dietarios son para mayores de 18 a\u00f1os. Ante cualquier duda de salud, consult\u00e1 con un profesional.<\/span><\/div>\n\n\n\n
