Do you have any idea why chocolate would contain heavy metals? Since most minerals, including heavy metals, are in most soils in varying amounts, and since cacao trees only grow in the tropics, does the soil there have higher concentrations of heavy metals? Or does the chemistry of the cacao trees naturally select these minerals? Or are the commercial growers causing this with chemical treatments, such as herbicides, pesticides or something used in processing the beans?
