    You know, I'd really like to trust what I'm eating isn't contaminated in some way. I love chocolate and white chocolate too. Heavy metals in chocolate, seriously?

    Consumer Reports tested 28 popular dark chocolate bars from Seattle’s
    own Theo Chocolate to Trader Joe’s, Hershey’s to Ghirardelli, and even
    smaller brands such as Alter Eco and Mast.

    The study found cadmium and lead in every single bar.


    This article, unfortunately, doesn't give you the list of all of the chocolate with heavy metals, so if you don't have time to read the article, I'll save you some time. Basically, all of the major brands and those you would least expect are contaminated with heavy metals. Good grief!
