Cadmium is in ALL chocolate
So while the product is good, my real reason for the review is too give actual information. I freaked out a bit from all the reviews saying it contains cadmium, how they threw it out and bought the one from Trader Joes which didn't have that warning... How you should do your research as carcinogens are bad... So I did my research. All (real) chocolate has cadmium. Don't take it in excess, but you generally consume safe levels. Why does it all have cadmium? Well, some have more from the chemicals the growers use, or are too close to certain factories... But most is simply from the soil, especially around areas that have or have had volcanic activity. Cadmium is bad, yes. But there are safe levels. Please don't rip apart this seller of a chocolate product for containing what chocolate naturally has. That Trader Joe's cocoa/cacao that didn't have the label? They had cadmium as well. They just weren't open about it like Betterbody was.
