About the Cacao Juice Project
An independent, educational guide to cacao juice — the fruit drink pressed from the pulp of the cacao pod. We gather the science, regulation, and practical know-how in one place, so you can understand cacao juice without the marketing spin.
Who Runs This Site
This site is part of the Cacao Juice project, an independent educational resource operated by A14A. We are not a cacao juice brand and we do not sell the drink — that independence lets us describe products, companies, and research even-handedly.
The site is maintained by our editorial team rather than a single named author. What we publish reflects the project's shared editorial standards, not the opinion of one contributor or the interests of any manufacturer.
Our Mission
Cacao juice is a genuinely interesting drink surrounded by a lot of hype. Our goal is to be the clearest, most trustworthy reference for it — explaining what it is, what the evidence supports, how it is made, where it is sold, and how it is regulated, all in plain language.
We would rather under-claim than over-claim. Where the research is strong, we say so; where it is thin, or drawn from cocoa rather than the juice itself, we say that too.
Our Editorial Standards
Every article on this site is written to the same principles:
Peer-reviewed sourcing
Health and nutrition claims are linked to primary research — peer-reviewed journals, clinical trials, and meta-analyses — not to other blogs.
Honest about the evidence
Most cacao research studied cocoa or concentrated flavanols, not the juice. We flag that distinction rather than presenting cocoa findings as proven effects of cacao juice.
Regulatory citations
Legal and safety information cites the actual regulations — EU, UK, US FDA, and others — with their reference numbers, so you can check the source yourself.
No medical advice
We publish educational information, not medical guidance. Nothing here is a substitute for a qualified healthcare professional.
No invented facts
We do not fabricate statistics, studies, authors, or reviews. Figures are cited, and estimates are clearly labelled as estimates.
Independent of brands
We describe products and companies to inform readers, not because we are paid to. We do not sell cacao juice.
