The main reason I avoid these is that this brand and many other dark chocolate brands apparently contain large amounts of toxic metals like lead and cadmium. No idea if it's true or not.
No idea if it's true or not.
Then why did you repeat it?
I knew there was truth to it, but I was too lazy to post sources of studies, etc. and wanted to raise my concerns for anyone else to do their own research on, if they cared to. Thankfully, someone else gave a better response than I did regarding the topic, so I'll give that a read to refresh my memory.
Yes, Consumer Reports did find that Tony’s dark bar had higher levels of lead than some other bars.
To determine the risk posed by the chocolates in CR’s test, we used California's maximum allowable dose level (MADL) for lead (0.5 micrograms) and cadmium (4.1mcg).
Per that metric, Tony's Chocolonely Dark 70% was found to have a 134% dose of lead per ounce. Tony’s has disputed the validity of those metrics.
I'm pretty sure that's untrue.Even so, id rather that than eating chocolate from the blood and tears of child slavery.
Cacao naturally contains heavy metals, so every chocolate product contains them as well. Some cacao contains more than others. And dark chocolate contains more cacao than milk chocolate, so it contains more heavy metals as well.
This is what Tony’s says on the topic: https://tonyschocolonely.com/blogs/other/a-small-update-on-health-and-safety-and-heavy-metals
then I'm wrong, thanks for the correction
