Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I used this cacao powder frequently until Consumer Lab testing showed high cadmium levels. Here's the link:[...] Until Navitas addresses this issue, I will not purchase this again. I am extremely disappointed that this organic product has such a high level of this toxic heavy metal. Update: It looks like Amazon deleted the link. According to Consumer Lab, the upper limit for cadmium is 0.3 mcg/gram (0.3 ppm). Navitas Naturals Cacao Powder contains 0.95 mcg/gram (0.95 ppm) which is over 3 times the upper limit. "Cadmium is a probable carcinogen, can be toxic to kidneys, can cause softening of bones, and may affect fetal development" according to CL. The effects are weight dependent so children will be impacted more.
