A new report indicates that dark chocolate, often touted as a healthy food to add to your diet, may in fact contain elements dangerous to your health.<\/p>\n
Consumer Reports examined 28 different dark chocolate bars sold to consumers and found that every single one of them contained amounts of cadmium and lead. Children ingesting lead can suffer brain and nervous system damage as well as slower growth and development in addition to hearing and speech problems. Low levels of cadmium have been linked to kidney cancer and fragile bones.<\/p>\n
\u201cFor 23 of the bars, eating just an ounce a day would put an adult over a level that public health authorities and CR\u2019s experts say may be harmful for at least one of those heavy metals,\u201d Consumer Reports stated. \u201cFive of the bars were above those levels for both cadmium and lead.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cTo determine the risk posed by the chocolates in CR\u2019s test, we used California\u2019s maximum allowable dose level (MADL) for lead (0.5 micrograms) and cadmium (4.1mcg),\u201d Consumer Reports acknowledged.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere are risks for people of any age,\u201d Tunde Akinleye, the food safety researcher who led the Consumer Reports project, stated.<\/p>\n
