Is cocoa butter a tropical antibiotic ?

Foods of the Gods: Cocoa butter can be produced through extraction of natural fatty acids from cacao seeds. The cacao pod is harvested and goes into series of processes until obtaining that precious cocoa butter. Cocoa butter is an excellent moisturizer for the skin.
