I am concerned (rightly so, judging by lab results from Consumer Lab, etc.) about the High CADMIUM and LEAD in Chocolate bars but primarily in Cocoa Powder. Seems Rapunzel Cocoa Powder is the only one tested adequate levels (I surmise through online research without buying CL report). Got a quantity discount through iHerb @ $7.30 a box and am waiting to put in coffee like I used to with Toxic Hershey's Cocoa. Also excited to make a 4 ingredient brownie with the Cocoa powder, following a Ray Peat inspired blogger who made recipe with NO flour and says is amazing ( I see someone started a thread here with this same recipe). Would also like to make the frosting from her recipe with COCOA BUTTER but gave up looking as I cannot ascertain a COCOA BUTTER WITHOUT CADMIUM. The blogger shows a photo of Power Superfoods Cocoa Butter but it comes from Australia so with shipping is pricey. And I don't know if it is VERIFIED by independent testing to be low in cadmium and lead. And now this thread concerning steric acid, etc., has stirred up my interest to consume even more. Does anyone know of a HEALTHY (Cadmium and Lead at safer levels) Cocoa Butter?
