I was just planning on buying some chocolates the other day. I am really glad that I held off on my decisions. I never would have thought that there are some toxic and harmful chocolates that are in our shops. I really appreciate that you made the effort to inform us of the toxic chocolates. I will likely share this important information with all my friends and family. I hope that more people get to learn this horrible and disheartening fact.

You are completely correct. Cacao is not toxic, man-made chemicals are. Thank you for your comment. XOXOXO Soriah

Where will I find the mention of cadmium or lead on the wrapper? I checked the Trader Joe’s dark chocolate it does say it.

    I love to learn in general, but most especially when the topic involves chocolate of course. Who wouldn't? A food that provides you such pleasure, alongside a complete state of calm, why not educate yourself about this wonderful little bean called the cacao. It is not only a superfood but through the eyes of a chocoholic, the perfect food.
