Several popular brands of dark chocolate contain dangerous amounts of heavy metals, a study found.
Dark chocolates are often advertised as a potentially healthier option for sweet lovers. They frequently contain beneficial dietary minerals like manganese and iron, and usually have less sugar.found that many dark chocolates also contain something much more dangerous: traces of the heavy metals lead and cadmium.
Some chocolate manufacturers fared much better than others. Two different chocolates made by Ghirardelli both had low levels of heavy metals, as did products made by Taza, Mast, and Valrhona. The National Confectioner’s Association pushed back on the study’s findings. ‘Chocolate and cocoa are safe to eat and can be enjoyed as treats as they have been for centuries,’ the group stated.
Lead, on the other hand, was discovered on the outer shells of cocoa beans, leading researchers to conclude the beans were exposed to the metal after harvesting.
