The referenced study treats dark chocolate but, since cacao is cacao, wouldn't milk chocolate confected from these beans also have commensurately elevated levels of cadmium and lead?
And, if so, shouldn't this extrapolation be communicated to consumers?
- Reason077 4y agoMilk chocolate contains significantly less cacao than dark chocolate. Typically 20-25% cocoa solids, where as dark chocolate is in the 50-90% range. So it should have proportionately less cadmium etc per unit of weight.
