"A Third of Chocolate Products Are High in Heavy Metals, CR's Tests Find"

I like Heavy Metal...hoping to see Disturbed next month ;-)

Well this is disheartening.

I saw them a couple months ago. It was my 3rd time seeing them, and they put on a great show every time. I'm going to see Sleep Token next month.

Maybe they'll have chocolate merch?

Based on California's highly protective standard for maximum allowable dose level per day. If you eat chocolate every day there are some products you might want to stay away from otherwise......yawn.

I've seen Device, and many other metal bands, but this will be my first Disturbed show. Looking forward to it.

I have some doubts.

I would love to see all the methodologies and also error calcs.

The fact that straight 100% cacao is general lower than prepared dark chocolate almost points at equipment contamination - metal shedding???

I have no doubt that the whole food chain is more or less compromised, no matter what we consume.

And yet along with cacao content heavy metal content tends to go up based on what's been published which is of course not the whole story. Have to wait for more data.

Navitas tests their cacao for heavy metals and has trace amounts. Hershey's and Droste didn't fare well.

Navitas we buy from Grocery Discount.

Yes - I would like to see, by weight and weight % of cacao across all the varieties of chocolate. Assume pure cacao powder is 100% cacao and compare.

And batch variance too...........

Just back from Discount Grocery Outlet or whatever the name is. Bought 1.5 pounds of Navitas.
