In second to last paragraph, you mean that for these reasons of contamination, fish and chocolate should not constitute too large a part of one’s diet, correct?

Unfortunately, most of us cannot afford to make a chemical analysis of every food we buy, to determine whether it is safe or not for consumption, so it is better to be cautious. Even the legal limits for the lead and cadmium content of cocoa and of most seeds and nuts are rather high also based on the reasoning that on average they should be only a minor part of the daily intake.
