Best one 1-Terrasoul -one spoon per day 2- viva naturals one tsp Favorite-santa barbara chocolate

Really appreciate this episode! Exactly what I was looking for on cacao that no other videos satisfied! Your work is much appreciated.🙏🏼

You will eventually rock in UTube too just like IG..it takes some time but ur effort in spreading healthy info will pay off..respect

Navitas Cacao Powder website says it has, 0.07mcg per gram of Lead. 0.13mcg per gram of Cadmium 1 Serving is 6 grams(1 Tablespoon) 1 serving contains: 0.42mcg of Lead *Safe Level* =0.5mcg/day 0.78mcg of Cadmium *Safe Level* =4.1mcg/day

Thank you for this! I actually had just bought cacao powder from Costco but something told me to do research before actually pouting it in my body. I learned so much today, I’m a lil shocked that this isn’t taught in schools.

Such valuable information! I was using terrasoul, but was definitely exceeding the limit ( a tablespoon to tablespoon & a half).

Omg it has been a week I spend my time to search which brand of cacao powder I should get! Because they’re so many! thanks so much for this video

I REALLY appreciate this video man and I subscribed. Been searching for a solid rundown on this highly concerning issue and yours is the best I've found by far. I live in CA too and ordered a bag of navitas and got that nasty warning label and was like wait...

Thank you for sharing this information and it's very easy to find out where a company is sourcing their product from.

Can you pretty please do an updated video of this pleeeease 🙏

Thank you! I should have watched this before buying a double pack of Terrasoul. I'm glad I bought Terrasoul, I just like way more than 1 TBSP per night.

Great video! I’m now curious about this “Moringa Hot Chocolate” by CoCoRinga that claims it’s so healthy, not to mention it is pricey. I’m gonna have to research..

OMG just discovered you when researching cacoa. You're amazing! My husband said you're like an intellectual Bill Burr! 😂😂

Love all your content!! Always looking forward to the next video (knowledge bomb) Thank you 🙂

Great information! Have you done a video on heavy metals in turmeric? If not, is that something you would consider doing? Thank you!

Which organic cacao powder brand you recommend is legit please advice. nevermind i saw the whole video you are amazing👏

This was very informative! I've been using Navitas but will definitely be stopping that now. The only comment I have is that Viva Naturals' packaging does have the prop65 warning on it - do we know why, considering their COAs showed that they were under the limit? And if there are brands that do not have the prop65 warning, should that mean it doesn't exceed CA's levels?

Thank you so much for all your work and all the information’s. Was even better if you show us the picture off the good cacao that you were talking about.😊

Has anyone researched a brand called.... blue print? Bryan Johnson's company...he is that longevity guy taking it to the next level and beyond.

Is carob powder also full of heavy metals?

I was using navitas Brand. After I tested my cadmium levels and they were super high! I stopped immediately. I breastfeed to and I was passing that on to my daughter via my breast milk.

Hi Dr. G, do you have a more recent review?

Too much words, too little information, on and on and on the same things rather than valuable information.

Great work you're doing, thank you!

Thanks Jim you answer my cuestión 🙏👍

Thank you SO MUCH....I was so happy having CACAO as a new real SUPERFOOD ..unfortunately NO LONGER ...heavy metals = SICK BRAIN....thank you Doc !!!!

Hey Dr G, is Antler Farms cacao low in cadmium and lead? They claim to be a very clean product from the Peruvian jungle.

Great channel, just found. Thanks for the information.

Excellent research. Educating others.

From Consumer Reports Testing...."The best cocoa powder overall was Navitas Organics Organic Cacao Powder, which reached 77 percent of CR’s lead limit and 17 percent of the cadmium limit. Navitas has a third party test all finished products for heavy metals to ensure low levels, according to the company website".

Wow, nothing but respect for you

So Terrasoul had a lawsuit against them. Not sure if you were aware of that

Thank you I needed this video so much bro

what about Cacao Flavanol extract supplement? they dont contain heavy metals ?? what brand do you recommend pls

I wonder if the same can be said for spinach, and other common “healthy” foods……I’ve heard there is a lot of lead in organic spinach.

Could you list the dodgers please

Sevenhills and Buyeholefoodsonline in the UK shared their heavy metal levels with me and were all guaranteed to be well below the max. threshold for EU/UK law.

I’ve been using Terrasoul since last year and most recently found mold in my dates, which I ingested and felt very sick from. I was very concerned since I’m exclusively nursing my baby. I contacted Terrasoul and they were very noncommittal. They did the bare minimum and were satisfied with Amazon providing me with a refund. They did nothing more. From their hands-off approach, I also got the impression that this happens often, as I got an unsigned and generic reply from customer service (only the last message was personalized and signed). Extremely disappointed with this brand and their handling of this very delicate situation. If I were the owner of this company, I’d be mortified with how my team handled this. When I tried sharing this with others on IG, my post was deleted and my personal account was blocked. Just awful all around!

What about cacao nibs? I’m assuming same companies??Measurements?

Thank you so much ! I just bought navitas cacao nibs for first time for smoothies , so the cacao Nibs are not safe ? What about navitas cacao butter ? Got it for my skincare Please let me know I’m gonna throw it away if it’s not safe Ty

What about foods alive cacao?

Great information. Thank you.

I looked into Santa Babara Chocolate and I only see COCOA powder for sale, not CACAO. Did they use to sell Cacao or are your ratings based on the Cocoa powder?

Did Navitas ever provide the info since then?

im not in USA... any Eu options?

Simply tell if Terrasoul Cacao is recommended for its cadmium content

Can someone describe if cadmium is added to cacao powder.

That one dislike is from one of the companies in the worst group

Question: is there any safe way to make a nice dark chocolate flavored protein shake? Cause I was putting 3 tablespoons in my shakes (which is apparently a death wish after watching this). One tablespoon I can't even taste the chocolate let alone one teaspoon

Going onto Santa Barbara’s website, and I don’t see cacao powder listed as an option. Only cocoa powder - is this what you were referring to in this video?

This issue is amount of metals in Cacao and that’s so concerning. Even Navitas brand has metals

Should all chocolate products be avoided or just the powders? Like is a chocolate bar just as bad ?

Another ‘food’ to avoid! I’ll just buy doughnuts, throw away the outer portion and eat the holes.

Does choclate nesquik have cadmium?

is this about cacao or cocoa ...two different things

Amazing work man 👏

1 teaspoon to 1 TBSP --😭😭😭

Hi. I got a copy of a COA after watching your video from Antler Farms. I was wondering if I could get your email and send it over to you and get your thoughts on it and run the numbers? Ty

The only SB chocolate I can find was this: www.santabarbarachocolate.com/vegan-cocoa/? Is this your favorite one? I'm a little cautious because it says cocoa not cacao. Description sounds like its "raw'
