Note- chocolate from West Africa has much less cadmium and you have to Block cadmium absorbtion by having enough of fiber, calcium, zink, iron and magnesium and according to this you can choose one Dark chocolate Montezumas Dark chocolate with 100 % Cocoa and 0 gr - 0,06 microgr cadmium per gram - 3 teaspoon of Cocoa powder can be beneficial for older people - the.

Good information, but very discouraging. I have tried to choose dark chocolate (cacao, not cocoa) without sugar, or low glycemic (like coconut sugar), and eat sparingly. I have hypoglycemia, and want to avoid diabetes or pre diabetes. I wasn't considering heavy metals like lead and cadmium. And, the info is valuable, but I hope you consider slowing down the pace of delivery; too much, too fast. A slight pause between new facts would help. But we can pause and replay.

@@tiararoxeanne1318 Incorrect. There is a great deal of misinformation that is spread via social media, unfortunately. That cadmium standard is for cocoa in a sweetened / blended product, so it is diluted. For products equal to or greater than 50% cacao solids, the EU standard is 0.8mg/kg, so again this is for some kind of a blended product with high-solids / dark. For non-blended product, the standard is a maximum of 0.8ppm. The product mentioned here easily meets those standards.

Hi, I probably heard you incorrectly but I think I recall in a past video you said something about how the effects of fructose/ fruit sugar is not adequately measured by using a glucose meter (glucose vs fructose). I just wanted to check in and see what you thought about that? If it’s true or not.

Yes. Table sugar is Sucrose which is glucose and fructose. Wheat Starch is amylose which is made from glucose links. This is why white breads elevate blood sugar higher than pure table sugar.

What would stop the producers from buying cacao from another farm and still have the labeling the same? So the toxic amounts could change and you would never know it?

I would share this video with my family but there is no detailed info written to help in the shopping of good chocolate/cacao. The video zooms with not much in detailed brands. I guess we need a consumer reports subscription as that reference was mentioned several times. Great unshareable info is no info😢
