Recently, I was investigating adding dark chocolate to my diet daily for the health benefits...mostly because it encourages the growth of stem cells. But then I discovered this heavy metal issue. There are sources of cacao that have very little contamination, but they are difficult to locate, and you have no way of knowing if the company might mix sources for heterogeneity if there is a local shortage.

I decided it wasn't worth the risk.
