I had 10 popular dark chocolate brands independently tested for heavy metals (arsenic, lead, cadmium, and mercury), and healthy cocoa flavanols. Total flavanols / total heavy metals = final score.
🍫 Blueprint Cocoa - blueprint.brya...
❓WHAT IS BLUEPRINT
Like past explorers, I’ve asked an unthinkable question: is death still inevitable or is a new era of longevity here?
After selling my company Braintree Venmo for $800 million, I built a team of dozens of medical professionals, became the most measured person in history, and achieved arguably the best comprehensive biomarkers in the world.
And I share everything with you, for free.
After having poor health habits as a kid, running myself into the ground from 20 years of building companies, and a decade of chronic depression, now, at the chronological age of 46, my biomarkers are in the top 1%.
And not just the top 1% of 46 year olds, but on many markers, such as my cardiovascular fitness, I’m in the top 1% of 18 year olds.
Top 1%: Speed of aging
Top 1%: Muscle mass & function
Top 1%: Fat mass
Top 1%: Inflammation
Top 1%: Cardiovascular
Top 1%: Bone mass
Top 1%: Sleep
Top 1%: Combined clinical markers
Top 1%: Nighttime erections
Blueprint is an algorithm, built by science, that takes better care of me than I can myself.

Unfortunately , cacao only available from 3rd world. its basically a lucky dip. Make it a rule at least, apart from cacao, every food item you get is produced from top nations. Be careful of italy for e.g. supposedly it can be 'product of italy', but its just packed in italy from china or whatever dodgy place. all that toxic crap being absorbed in rice, grains, fruits whatever. then the processing plants whever whatever the eff goes on.

Major contributors to cadmium intake include food categories such as grains and grain products (27% contribution), vegetables and vegetable products (16%) and starchy roots and tubers (13%). Cadmium can be found occasionally in cocoa and chocolate and is typically associated with uptake of the metal from the soil by the cocoa trees. Chocolate products made a minor contribution (4%) to dietary exposure across all age groups.

Apparently, the age of the cocoa tree being harvested matters a lot. Younger trees have less heavy metals since the roots aren't as deep as older trees. I've also read that certain regions are notorious for having higher lead and cadmium content, although i can't remember those specific locations. I think the moral of the story is that you shouldn't consume chocolate every day unless you can verify that it's less contaminated. Bryan, you should make a line of high-quality chocolate bars! You already have the cocoa powder source and testing down. Now you can make a Blueprint bar of chocolate!

Bryan's chocolate is still very high in metals. It's just that the suggested daily serving is 5.65g. But with regular dark chocolate people usually eat more at once, say 20g. California's daily max intake of cadmium is 4.1mcg, Bryan's chocolate has 2.484mcg per suggested serving. Take another 5g and you're over limits.

How can we know more details about this study? How were results calculated? Did they use several batches from one brand to calculate average? What if heavy metal content of cocoa varies from harvest to harvest? If this is the case, this test becomes irrelevant as brands will have different amounts of bad things in their chocolate bars in different batches. You need to test different samples from the same manufacturer to at least get their average score.

from my point of view the score mostly reflects if the chocolate is low on heavy metals, so this would favour less concentrated chocolate as kakao contains heavy metals, which explains why a 50% chocolate can rank so high and pure chocolate rank so low. This test should also factor in sugar and other additives for a more accurate score.

Keep in mind everyone and also Bryan, that heavy metals are from the cocoa plant that absorbs them while it gets nutrients, so they are ultimately found in the cocoa. That's why it's normal for a higher % cocoa chocolate bar to have more heavy metals! You actually have to consider the ratio between cocoa and metals, so before looking at the heavy metals total look at the total weight of cocoa in the chocolate bar

It's interesting that Ghirardelli wasn't listed, considering it's a favorite among many chocolate lovers. But this was still a very expansive and informative comparison.

According to Consumer Reports, Ghirardelli 72% and 86% came out with acceptable heavy metal levels. I think they were tested in 2022 or 23.

Theyre getting it from a tree the tree is getting the metals from the ground. The companies are not specially adding heavy metals. Most likely its an oversight or ignorance.

I'm shocked that the "cleanest" pure 100% dark chocolate Alter Eco had the highest heavy metal content then some of brands with sugar. Also I'm shocked that Hu, my favorite brand, didn't score as high... Thanks a lot for conducting this experiment Bryan, this was very eye opening.

Shouldn’t be surprising as the heavy metal content in chocolate candy is mostly all from the cocoa so if it’s 100% cocoa it’ll most likely have the highest heavy metal content

I found this actually quite unconvincing, not knowing the math behind the number given or how that would reflect in our health at all. It’s hard to relate this information to the real world. It would have been nice to see some other organic cocoa powder brands compared to the blueprint powder as well- I can buy organic raw cacao from the store.
