Best Tasting --- ALL COCAO POWDER has a California WARNING! See why ..............
The Warnings on the package that everyone is commenting on here are from a California law stipulating that an unhealthy amount of any chemical or toxic substance in a product must be made clear to the purchaser. As such you will find them on almost ALL COCAO POWDER, organic or not! As per the first feedback comment here, the culprit is Cadmium. (Wish package would just state that.) I got the info from Consumer Labs also -- much to my mortification because I have been consuming this stuff almost daily for years! There was only one Cocao powder tested that was recommended because of low enough amounts of Cadmium and Lead! -(and it is currently sold out.) - So like the first commenter on this product -I am now going to move to "Bakers Unsweetened" bars and simply melt them down to make the hot drink. (Yeh, this stuff is a bit addicting ---and I do not eat sugar.) Really a drag to find out about this, but glad I did and Everyone should be forewarned -- Not just pregnant women! Study said that Organic brands can almost be worse. Hope they figure out a way to make a toxic free form given the number of people who both drinking and make a living harvesting this stuff. Other than that -- the flavor on this one is fine-- I add unsweetened almond/coconut milk --- which sweetens it naturally -- One gets used to no sugar and even begins to dislike anything sweetened by it. Other commenter stated this is the worst tasting -- No, he was just used to another brand first. I started with this and everything else tastes like there is something wrong with it!
