A recent study has found that dark chocolates from popular brands such as Hershey's contain toxic levels of heavy metals, including lead and cadmium. The study, which was conducted by the non-profit organization As You Sow, tested 50 dark chocolate products from well-known brands and found that most contained high levels of heavy metals that exceed California's Prop 65 safe levels. This raises concerns about the potential health risks associated with consuming these products, particularly for children and pregnant women who are particularly vulnerable to the effects of heavy metal exposure. The study highlights the need for better regulation and standards for heavy metal levels in chocolate products to ensure the safety of consumers.
