PHILADELPHIA (KYW) - Some dark chocolates have been found to contain potentially dangerous amounts of heavy metals.
Dark chocolate, loaded with antioxidants, is often called healthier chocolate.
But a new study from Consumer Reports said some kinds of dark chocolate contain potentially dangerous amounts of heavy metals.

“All of the samples that we tested had detectable levels of either cadmium or lead,” said James Rogers of Consumer Reports.
Rogers said 23 of the 28 samples tested exceeded the safety levels used in the study.
The study shared that cadmium found in soil, can infiltrate coco plants and lead contamination could happen in processing chocolate
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, long-term exposure to heavy metals can cause a variety of health issues, including brain damage and kidney and heart disease.
“It can affect different types of mental issues with children and fetuses of pregnant women,” Rogers said.
According to the study, researchers tested different brands, including organic varieties.
Higher concentrations of cacao used to make dark chocolate were linked to higher metal levels, according to the report.
“Just eating one ounce daily would expose you to enough heavy metals to be concerning,” Rogers said.
The National Confectioners Association released the following statement:
“Standards cited in the Consumer Reports study are not food safety standards. The products cited in this study are in compliance with strict quality and safety requirements.”
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration said the presence of cadmium and lead in chocolate is well documented and is not dangerous for most people if consumed occasionally.
The NCA released research in August showing ways that lead and cadmium in chocolate could be reduced, including having cocoa farmers plant new tree stock.
Why now ?
“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday […] it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it. [...] The eyeless crature at the other table swallowed it fanatically. passionately, with a furious desire to track down, denounce, and vaporize anyone who should suggest that last week the ration had been thirty grams. Syme, too-in some more double complex way, involving doublethink-Syme, swallow it. Was he, then, alone in the possession of a memory?”
― Orwell George, 1984

Saw this a few days ago, but strangely there is no mention of the deadly bihydrogen monoxide content
It has been there all along
Somebody needed to fabricate a headline.
The key phrase is this one.
More creative de-population methods to show their hand in the coming months
That rusty Hydrogen can get you...
Silly wabbit!
Because it’s Christmas! What better way to wee-wee on the holiday than kill chocolate?
Known, no doubt, to the State Of Calfornia, to be a powerful and deadly carcinogen!
I bought a six-foot electrical extension cord — an EXTENSION CORD!! — that had the California Cancer warning on it.
No, kidding, I wasn’t actually planning on EATING the cord!
ISWYDT!..................
Funny.
My tree light box says to wash your hand safter handling as wires contain lead. Made In China...like I had to say it...
"Detectable Levels" have become so small, they are nearly meaningless for health concerns. The dose makes the poison.
It has been there all along
Exactly.
Good advice any time you touch ANYTHING from CHINA..............
Because it is time for you to understand that the only safe alternative is to eat bugs!
soil quality issues secondary to pollution. this is a big issue in foods from china/india, but apparently is an issue with parts of africa.
