Harmful metal levels in most dark chocolate.
In letters to Hershey Co, Mondelez International Inc, Theo Chocolate and Trader Joe's, Consumer Reports said long-term exposure to the metals can result in nervous system problems, immune system suppression and kidney damage.
Last month, Consumer Reports said 23 of the 28 dark chocolate bars it tested included potentially harmful levels of lead, cadmium or both for people who eat more than one ounce of chocolate a day. Consumer Reports said many consumers eat dark chocolate for its potential health benefits and relatively low sugar levels, but"there's nothing healthy about ingesting heavy metals."The National Confectioners Association, a trade group, said the California health guidelines that Consumer Reports used and considered"the most protective available," are"not food safety standards" and that chocolate remains safe to eat.

One-Electron Quantum Cyclotron as a Milli-eV Dark-Photon DetectorWe propose using trapped electrons as high-$Q$ resonators for detecting meV dark photon dark matter. When the rest energy of the dark photon matches the energy splitting of the two lowest cyclotron levels, the first excited state of the electron cyclotron will be resonantly excited. A proof-of-principle measurement, carried out with one electron, demonstrates that the method is background free over a 7.4 day search. It sets a limit on dark photon dark matter at 148 GHz (0.6 meV) that is around 75 times better than previous constraints. Dark photon dark matter in the 0.1--1 meV mass range (20--200 GHz) could likely be detected at a similar sensitivity in an apparatus designed for dark photon detection.
