Heavy metals are a group of relatively dense metals that occur in nature.
In 2023 , Consumer Reports found levels of the toxic heavy metals lead and cadmium above California ’s allowable standard in 16 out of 48 chocolate products they tested.
An ounce of any of the four dark chocolate bars analyzed did not contain enough heavy metal to pose a danger to adults.
Dark chocolate bars were rich in healthy nutrients, including zinc, copper, iron and magnesium.
Some of the chocolates tested contained more than 50% of the daily requirements of these minerals for adults.
Children are less likely to benefit from the compounds found in dark chocolate.
