All brands of chocolate have toxic levels of lead and cadmium. The plant absorbs those heavy metals from the soil. Granted Hershey's is worse than others.

Very interesting. Thank you for posting. I did not know this.
Chocolove brand tended to have better numbers in dark chocolate from what I remember. That tends to be sold at more mid to higher end grocery stores.
The darker the chocolate, the more lead and cadmium tends to be in the bars
It makes sense. And is sad. Sigh.
Dang, I should have read your comment before I commented. I said the same thing as you did, but after you did. Reee! Anyway, your'e right. The cacao plant is a hyperaccumulator of heavy metals too, so that doesn't help when we're chemtrailing fly ash and other toxic crap into our skies and it lands on cacao plantations
If I remember right most of the cacao farms are in Africa which isn't exactly known for emphasizing health. Probably there because the labor is cheapest while having the right climate.
