 So much for feeling like dark chocolate is a health food,not only is Hershey Co.  being sued for their dark chocolate containing well over the allowed amount of lead and cadmium it turns out that Consumer Reports has done a deep dive into the various chocolate makers and their findings leave only a handful of choices that are healthy. It isn't like the companies are adding heavy metals to their product as the cacao tree draws the cadmium from the soil it grows in and the lead comes from the way the beans are dried so the good news is they aren't trying to poison us but that the levels are too high. All dark chocolate contains  these heavy metals but there are a handful that have safer levels:

• Mast Organic Dark Chocolate, 80% Cocoa
• Taza Chocolate Organic Deliciously Dark Chocolate, 70% Cacao
• Ghirardelli Intense Dark Chocolate, 86% Cacao
• Ghirardelli Intense Dark Chocolate Twilight Delight, 72% Cacao
• Valrhona Abinao Dark Chocolate, 85% Cacao
•
