The February issue has a section on dark chocolate, which by law has to contain at least 65% cacao content, and is supposed to be a healthier choice for us versus the others. Cadmium. lead or both heavy metals - used in batteries - have been found in ALL of them - even major brands like Hershey’s, Dove, Lindt, and Ghiardelli. These metals are absorbed from the soil where the trees are grown - cadmium is found in the beans, while lead has been found in the shells. Semisweet, bittersweet, and baker’s chocolate also fall into this category - and there is no restriction on how MUCH of these metals chocolate may contain. I’m old enough to remember when peanut butter had to be refrigerated after a jar was opened, to avoid the botulism peanuts naturally develop - improvements in processing peanuts eliminated this risk - but there’s no answer for dark chocolate right now. FYI
