Major contributors to cadmium intake include food categories such as grains and grain products (27% contribution), vegetables and vegetable products (16%) and starchy roots and tubers (13%). Cadmium can be found occasionally in cocoa and chocolate and is typically associated with uptake of the metal from the soil by the cocoa trees. Chocolate products made a minor contribution (4%) to dietary exposure across all age groups.

Interesting, but wish you had included Ghirardelli dark chocolate in your comparisons. Consumer Reports noted that Ghirardelli dark chocolate was lowest in heavy metals of the dark chocolate they tested. I would also be interested in a Cocoa Via comparison (high flavanol cocoa powder in capsules) as compared to yours. I appreciate your health journey and that you share so much you are doing for everyone to benefit. Thank you!
To answer my own question on Trader Joe’s Consumer Reports, yes they did. Unfortunately my favorite TJ’s Belgium Dark Chocolate with Almonds 1lb bar was high in lead.. ok in cadmium. My new low in heavy metals choco, according to CR is Valrhona, dark baking ovals, at Wholefoods @ $18/lb. Seems like more, but even one of these little ovals has been satisfying. Has a very complex clean flavor, with probably less sugar.
@@SandalDadwhen your product is poison.. you either clean it up or double down and legalise everything and let the consumer decide what goes into their bodies. 💉
Apparently, the age of the cocoa tree being harvested matters a lot. Younger trees have less heavy metals since the roots aren't as deep as older trees. I've also read that certain regions are notorious for having higher lead and cadmium content, although i can't remember those specific locations. I think the moral of the story is that you shouldn't consume chocolate every day unless you can verify that it's less contaminated. Bryan, you should make a line of high-quality chocolate bars! You already have the cocoa powder source and testing down. Now you can make a Blueprint bar of chocolate!
Bryan's chocolate is still very high in metals. It's just that the suggested daily serving is 5.65g. But with regular dark chocolate people usually eat more at once, say 20g. California's daily max intake of cadmium is 4.1mcg, Bryan's chocolate has 2.484mcg per suggested serving. Take another 5g and you're over limits.
flavinoids dont counteract heavy metals. activated charcoal or disodium EDTA does. the ratio doesnt matter as much as micrograms per serving. if you are eating chocolate because you like the taste, go for the one with the lowest heavy metal amount (vosges, ritter, lilys, lindt)

Another invaluable video from Bryan. Your switch to humor is top tier. Including a Street Fighter video game easter egg. Man of culture. Thank you Bryan for your hard work! 🙏🏻
I've been looking for a comparison between brands for at least a week. Awesome!! 👍 Brian, please keep updating the list and make it publicly available. chocolate database lets gooo 😁🎉
Keep in mind everyone and also Bryan, that heavy metals are from the cocoa plant that absorbs them while it gets nutrients, so they are ultimately found in the cocoa. That's why it's normal for a higher % cocoa chocolate bar to have more heavy metals! You actually have to consider the ratio between cocoa and metals, so before looking at the heavy metals total look at the total weight of cocoa in the chocolate bar
I was thinking the same since the less dark ratios / more cocoa butter in them would make the amount of heavy metals less , since there is less actual chocolate , didn’t seem like they adjusted for that , not all bars are equal with other ingredients added
Not true, because more cocoa also means more flavenols, if you take the ratio than the cocoa % cancels out for the scoring, so it doesn't matter for the ranking
Thank you for exposing these deceptive companies for each category. We need more videos like these, so we know what to avoid and what's good to incorporate for success of our health journey. Much love.
I would love a whole series on popular food items that a large percentage of Americans/humans eat ,that are blue print friendly, many can't afford all Blue print items, but getting the knowledge of better food choices ,and when you have the money, incorporating 1 or 2 blueprint products at a time, while trying to balance with knowledge learned to help achieve your goals would be beneficial for those thinking " I can't do this, I can't afford this." And turning there thinking into " I can do this with the knowledge Blue print gave me and where I'm lacking I can get assistance from certain Blueprint products"
Beyond being really informative and useful for dark chocolate consumers, such as myself, this is also an excellent demonstration of the insertion sort algorithm!
I'm shocked that the "cleanest" pure 100% dark chocolate Alter Eco had the highest heavy metal content then some of brands with sugar. Also I'm shocked that Hu, my favorite brand, didn't score as high... Thanks a lot for conducting this experiment Bryan, this was very eye opening.
Shouldn’t be surprising as the heavy metal content in chocolate candy is mostly all from the cocoa so if it’s 100% cocoa it’ll most likely have the highest heavy metal content
It's interesting that Ghirardelli wasn't listed, considering it's a favorite among many chocolate lovers. But this was still a very expansive and informative comparison.

Targets Good & Gather Cocoa has much lower levels of metals than many other organic brands. Also 1 TBS has 92 mg of flavanols
As a german (scientist)... I am not surprised... Glad I can get Rittersport EVERYWHERE!! I would normally go for a more "natural" looking packaging and I am really surprised the very average german brands are scoring so well but I am happy about that. Thank you very much for checking and ranking the chocolate Bryan :)
Yes, I live in the US and Ritter is everywhere here too. I have to admit I’ve only gotten it a few times because the cocoa content is the minimum to qualify as ‘dark’. And admittedly, to your point, the packaging doesn’t look as fancy as a lot of others.
Do consider organic/gmo/vegan factors as well ? It also DOES matter about sourcing, protecting rainforest equity, etc. I would love to see a deeper dive on the healthiest AND ethically rich chocolates ! I do love your position on measuring your food. Appreciate this episode a lot.. How does one measure things like heavy metals ??? Thanks Bryan ! :)
How can we know more details about this study? How were results calculated? Did they use several batches from one brand to calculate average? What if heavy metal content of cocoa varies from harvest to harvest? If this is the case, this test becomes irrelevant as brands will have different amounts of bad things in their chocolate bars in different batches. You need to test different samples from the same manufacturer to at least get their average score.
From what i can see it seems like the calculation is just flavanols(mg)/1000*heavy metals (µg), the example for rittersport is 131.9 mg /2.31 mg = 57.099. Also i agree with your comment, he should explain more in depth and especially why and how he chose the formula for the health score.
Comment totally on point, I love Brian but that's my main issue with him he shares results for free, however, methodology is often opaque. For instance we don't really know what is the "blue print algorithm" we only have hints and pieces.
from my point of view the score mostly reflects if the chocolate is low on heavy metals, so this would favour less concentrated chocolate as kakao contains heavy metals, which explains why a 50% chocolate can rank so high and pure chocolate rank so low. This test should also factor in sugar and other additives for a more accurate score.
Noooo I’m so shocked, I love Alter Eco! I usually look at ingredients. I had no idea it was this toxic. Who knew Ritter Sport would have such a high score! (Thank you Bryan!)
I found this actually quite unconvincing, not knowing the math behind the number given or how that would reflect in our health at all. It’s hard to relate this information to the real world. It would have been nice to see some other organic cocoa powder brands compared to the blueprint powder as well- I can buy organic raw cacao from the store.
Careful, you're actually thinking with your brain. You're supposed to only compared toxic brands with his product, not all the other brands low in metals and his brands that are way cheaper.
Blueprint cocoa! Sweet. I’m wondering about how Ghirardelli stacks up in this crowd as I saw research saying it’s among the cleanest dark chocolates widely sold.
Awesome! What would be great to see is human clinical trials for lead and cadmium levels, after cocoa consumption, since it's not how much we consume, but how much we absorb, that is the important factor, based on my understanding.
That is going to be an expensive chocolate bar. I get the powder and it is expensive but it does go a long way if you are just making his nutty pudding receipe a couple times a week. Unless they don't make it 100% chocolate.
I’d love to see this as an ongoing series comparing bars with different cocoa percentages of the brands mentioned here as well as other brands like Chocolove, Taza, Endangered Species, Evolved, Ghirardelli, Guittard, Valhrona etc…
Glad to see some brands I can buy in supermarkets in Sweden, such as: Lindt, Ritter Sport and Tony's - guess I'll switch to Ritter Sport from Lindt going forward - thanks Bryan! Would be nice with a follow-up a year or two from this to see if suppliers have changed or they have adressed the issues with heavy metals.
Isn't it possible that Ritter seemed good because it's lower in chocolate? He's comparing a 50% chocolate bar to a bunch of 70% bars. If it's lower in chocolate, that may be the reason why it's lower in metals. But I don't want to eat 50% chocolate 50% sugar.
Context in the acceptable levels of heavy metals intake is important here. According to the NIH the tolerable weekly intake values for Hg, Pb, Cd, and As metals are 16, 25, 7, and 15 micrograms/kg body weight, respectively. Which means for a 80kg person you would need to consume hundreds of even the worst chocolate bar tested per week to even begin to touch the tolerable values. Blueprints cocoa powder is impressive but leaving out this information is very misleading to viewers.
Interesting, but how was this test conducted? It isn't a fair ranking when a bar containing hazelnuts and sugar is put up against a 100% pure chocolate bar. There is a lot more actual chocolate in a plain bar which means more heavy metals. All the bars should be either 100% chocolate (or the same percentage) and should have no nuts / seeds / fruits / etc... That would be a fair playing ground. I would be interested in that outcome. You are entertaining and made me smile, thank you! "Interesting, but how was this test conducted?

Love the presentation. Where can I find published third party lab results of the Blueprint cacao powder that prove the high flavonoids and low heavy metal content?
The problem with this is that we 1) don’t know if these flavanols actually get absorbed at all, which if you check literature many don’t make it or make it in tiny quantities, 2) if the dose does anything at all, 3) what if you have more flavanols that are useless but equal/less of the ones that we actually care about, 4) we don’t know if 2 ug or 10 ug of lead has different outcomes in the body in the same sense that 1 ug of sodium or 20 ug of sodium are negligible and only when u consume > 5 grams you start harming yourself.
The flavanols do get absorbed and have a positive benefit on his body as I'm sure he's tested. Obviously not 100% of the flavanols present in a sample will be absorbed, but the concentration/sample definitely does affect how much is absorbed
Flavonols are fat soluble…cocoa has a ton of fat. Pretty sure they re getting absorbed to a high degree. Also there is no margin of safety for heavy metals. Unfortunately the body does not have a way to rid itself from heavy metals meaning over the years they build up.
This is why the purified capsules by CocoaVia really are the best. If you're going to be eating enough cocoa almost daily to get whatever benefits you really have to worry about chronic cadmium poisoning.
@@rbrown2217 that's the powder, not the capsules. Capsules aren't alkalized. Capsules have the best polyphenol/heavy metal (basically 0) ratio of anything. Also the best polyphenol/calorie ratio too, which is kind of important if you're talking about adding a few hundred calories a day of something forever.
@@SuperMrgentleman Oh interesting, thank you! (Although I still wish someone would test that Flavanaturals powder for heavy metals because I enjoy it...)
@@rbrown2217 Yeah good question. Consumer Labs did Cocoavia and a few other nibs powders and dark chocolates, maybe if you email them you can convince them
I think it's very good that you tested brands from different countries. Ritter Sport and Lindt are very well known in Germany, and Lindt in particular is considered a kind of premium chocolate here. Seeing that it's all just marketing rather than quality really opens one's eyes. Thank you. Liebe Grüße
Lidnt is not just marketing. Their chocolate is high quality in terms of workmanship, they do pay attention to conching and other factors that make their chocolate super smooth. The beans themselves are probably just more average.
Nice video but here is something i don't like, which is the presentation of the data. I had no idea what the actual units of the flavonols and heavy metals were. Now from the lab results of your cocoa and the numbers you presented in this video i could deduce that the actual unit is flavonol or heavy metals / per serving (6g). It would be really helpful to put the proper units in the presentation and also add /per 100g which is what nutrients are generally presented in for food (atleast here in germany)
Am I mistaken or is your scoring system not based on the shown numbers? The only thing that matters is that you consume per needed mgs of flavanols the least amount of heavy metals. The higher the ratio of flavonols per 1 mcg heavy metals the better the chocolate. Thus, Ritter Sport should be 1. by a long shot. Vosges: 159.1 / 4.51 = 35.28 Ritter Sport: 131.9 / 2.31 = 57.10 Hu: 261.1 / 5.43 = 48.08 Lindt: 174.9 / 4.5 = 38.87 Lily's: 169.6 / 4.38 = 38.72 Taza: 217.5 / 5.91 = 36.80 Beyond Good: 82.2 / 4.6 = 17.87 Theo: 163.7 / 11.1 = 14.75 Alter Eco (1): 210.5 / 14.7 = 14.32 Alter Eco (2): 140.5 / 10.6 = 13.25

I would also be interested in a Cocoa Via comparison (high flavanol cocoa powder in capsules) as compared to yours. I appreciate your health journey and that you share so much you are doing for everyone to benefit. Thank you!
Did consumers happen to test Trader Joes Dark Chocolate?
I hope that's true that's what I buy
To answer my own question on Trader Joe’s Consumer Reports, yes they did.
Unfortunately my favorite TJ’s Belgium Dark Chocolate with Almonds 1lb bar was high in lead.. ok in cadmium.
My new low in heavy metals choco, according to CR is Valrhona, dark baking ovals, at Wholefoods @ $18/lb.
Seems like more, but even one of these little ovals has been satisfying.
Has a very complex clean flavor, with probably less sugar.
Please do the same analysis for powdered cacao/cocoa brands. I make my own chocolate.
Ding ding ding. Probably left it out for a reason. He's trying to sell his chocolate
Bryan: 🍫 😃
Chocolate companies: 😬
If he can help companies change lets goooooo
Watch their market plummet 😂📉
@@SandalDadwhen your product is poison..
you either clean it up or double down and legalise everything and let the consumer decide what goes into their bodies. 💉
Apparently, the age of the cocoa tree being harvested matters a lot. Younger trees have less heavy metals since the roots aren't as deep as older trees. I've also read that certain regions are notorious for having higher lead and cadmium content, although i can't remember those specific locations. I think the moral of the story is that you shouldn't consume chocolate every day unless you can verify that it's less contaminated.
Bryan, you should make a line of high-quality chocolate bars! You already have the cocoa powder source and testing down. Now you can make a Blueprint bar of chocolate!
Brilliant idea! Hopefully he will see this.
Bryan's chocolate is still very high in metals. It's just that the suggested daily serving is 5.65g. But with regular dark chocolate people usually eat more at once, say 20g. California's daily max intake of cadmium is 4.1mcg, Bryan's chocolate has 2.484mcg per suggested serving. Take another 5g and you're over limits.
flavinoids dont counteract heavy metals. activated charcoal or disodium EDTA does. the ratio doesnt matter as much as micrograms per serving. if you are eating chocolate because you like the taste, go for the one with the lowest heavy metal amount (vosges, ritter, lilys, lindt)
.
Love this idea! Poor Bryan will probably be accused of trying to make a profit rather than being acknowledged for giving us access to quality foods but oh well 💁♀️
Thanks Bryan. Love your work!

I can’t stop watch your content. I was so tired of so many professionals selling lies and then I was thinking through and decided to get Blueprint. You offer the best content ever for free, there’s no reason to look somewhere else. The amount of information and research you do is so helpful. I hope one day I can meet you in person just to say thank you and hug you. You are incredible and I can’t thank you enough for all the changes you are doing in my life.
this man is also potentially selling you misinformation - he also has monetary incentive and isn’t being entirely honest in these reviews. be no one’s disciple
Whenever I’m feeling down I can always easily count on Bryan to lift me up. Much much love G! 🎉❤

@@BarbaraGergelyhe is so strict and treats his body as the precious thing it is.
Need a round 2 of this! It’s helpful info. And maybe a series where you test other food or hygiene items.
Keep in mind everyone and also Bryan, that heavy metals are from the cocoa plant that absorbs them while it gets nutrients, so they are ultimately found in the cocoa. That's why it's normal for a higher % cocoa chocolate bar to have more heavy metals! You actually have to consider the ratio between cocoa and metals, so before looking at the heavy metals total look at the total weight of cocoa in the chocolate bar
Thanks for the clarification.
The ratio for each needs to be calculated.
I was thinking the same since the less dark ratios / more cocoa butter in them would make the amount of heavy metals less , since there is less actual chocolate , didn’t seem like they adjusted for that , not all bars are equal with other ingredients added
Not true, because more cocoa also means more flavenols, if you take the ratio than the cocoa % cancels out for the scoring, so it doesn't matter for the ranking
something being normall doesn't mean it's good for you.
Exactly, the ranking and underlying calculation is very skewed here.
Thank you hopefully this puts pressure on companies to get their act together because we are not mindless consumers anymore!
Thank you for exposing these deceptive companies for each category. We need more videos like these, so we know what to avoid and what's good to incorporate for success of our health journey. Much love.
Appreciate you doing this Bryan! Seeing a comparison between cocoa powders would be great too!

And turning there thinking into " I can do this with the knowledge Blue print gave me and where I'm lacking I can get assistance from certain Blueprint products"
Beyond being really informative and useful for dark chocolate consumers, such as myself, this is also an excellent demonstration of the insertion sort algorithm!
I don't know how you're doing it, but everytime i think i couldn't have more respect for you, you prove me wrong! Thank you for bettering our lifes!
I'm shocked that the "cleanest" pure 100% dark chocolate Alter Eco had the highest heavy metal content then some of brands with sugar. Also I'm shocked that Hu, my favorite brand, didn't score as high... Thanks a lot for conducting this experiment Bryan, this was very eye opening.
Shouldn’t be surprising as the heavy metal content in chocolate candy is mostly all from the cocoa so if it’s 100% cocoa it’ll most likely have the highest heavy metal content
Sugar shouldn't have any heavy metals in it...
@@JoseffMcCarthy
Do the math and check the relative content.
Still a much higher heavy metal content and a very bad result.
He's not comparing apples to apples. I want to see different brands of 100% cacao dark chocolate.
For your own good I'd recommend sticking to Ritter Sport brand exclusively
10:00 - Final Scores
It's interesting that Ghirardelli wasn't listed, considering it's a favorite among many chocolate lovers. But this was still a very expansive and informative comparison.
According to Consumer Reports, Ghirardelli 72% and 86% came out with acceptable heavy metal levels. I think they were tested in 2022 or 23.

@@daveweil6767 You have to be signed in as a payed subscriber to view consumer lab reports they are copyrighted. All I can say is Consumer Labs looked for a longtime to find a good cocoa. Targets Good & Gather Cocoa has much lower levels of metals than many other organic brands. Also 1 TBS has 92 mg of flavanols
As a german (scientist)... I am not surprised... Glad I can get Rittersport EVERYWHERE!! I would normally go for a more "natural" looking packaging and I am really surprised the very average german brands are scoring so well but I am happy about that. Thank you very much for checking and ranking the chocolate Bryan :)
Yes, I live in the US and Ritter is everywhere here too. I have to admit I’ve only gotten it a few times because the cocoa content is the minimum to qualify as ‘dark’. And admittedly, to your point, the packaging doesn’t look as fancy as a lot of others.
But the test doesn't mean all Ritter sports chocolates have the same content of heavy metals. Cocoa doesn't come from a single source
Do consider organic/gmo/vegan factors as well ?
It also DOES matter about sourcing, protecting rainforest equity, etc. I would love to see a deeper dive on the healthiest AND ethically rich chocolates !
I do love your position on measuring your food. Appreciate this episode a lot..
How does one measure things like heavy metals ???
Thanks Bryan ! :)
I absolutely love this episode! Thank you Bryan for the fun presentation and spreading of knowledge😊
How did you guys test the heavy metals? Next, do one testing the amount of microplastics in different foods!
Definitely a useful video! Please post more of these.
Hey, great content. I literally never even considered that chocolate contained heavy metals. Gosh, what an eye opener! Thank you for the info
How can we know more details about this study? How were results calculated? Did they use several batches from one brand to calculate average?
What if heavy metal content of cocoa varies from harvest to harvest?
If this is the case, this test becomes irrelevant as brands will have different amounts of bad things in their chocolate bars in different batches. You need to test different samples from the same manufacturer to at least get their average score.
From what i can see it seems like the calculation is just flavanols(mg)/1000*heavy metals (µg), the example for rittersport is 131.9 mg /2.31 mg = 57.099. Also i agree with your comment, he should explain more in depth and especially why and how he chose the formula for the health score.
great point, would love to know more! If only on piece / 100g of each one were tested it the results wouldn't really mean anything.
Comment totally on point, I love Brian but that's my main issue with him he shares results for free, however, methodology is often opaque. For instance we don't really know what is the "blue print algorithm" we only have hints and pieces.
from my point of view the score mostly reflects if the chocolate is low on heavy metals, so this would favour less concentrated chocolate as kakao contains heavy metals, which explains why a 50% chocolate can rank so high and pure chocolate rank so low. This test should also factor in sugar and other additives for a more accurate score.
He left a comment with links to the lab testing. Maybe check that and he also mentions one of the ratings being incorrect
Noooo I’m so shocked, I love Alter Eco! I usually look at ingredients. I had no idea it was this toxic. Who knew Ritter Sport would have such a high score! (Thank you Bryan!)
Ditto, it's my absolute favourite! 😭
@@burnerinsyd mine too bummed
He didn't test other foods in a supermarket. You would be surprised how come you are still alive.
Super eye-opening. When Blueprint chocolate bars? 🤤
Indeed! Love Vivani chocolate bar 92% but is it healthy enough?
Ritter Sport is the blueprint approved chocolate
Man more data videos like this would be amazing, ur the only one doing this stuff, I know certain studies and things can cost alot. You're a beast.
Bravo Bryan! Risky to get judged both legally and socially but so useful for us all to know, test and retest everything!
I found this actually quite unconvincing, not knowing the math behind the number given or how that would reflect in our health at all. It’s hard to relate this information to the real world. It would have been nice to see some other organic cocoa powder brands compared to the blueprint powder as well- I can buy organic raw cacao from the store.
Careful, you're actually thinking with your brain. You're supposed to only compared toxic brands with his product, not all the other brands low in metals and his brands that are way cheaper.
We need more of these tests👍
Thank you for this video!
I am your fan now! I love your mission and you are changing my life!!!😇
Blueprint cocoa! Sweet. I’m wondering about how Ghirardelli stacks up in this crowd as I saw research saying it’s among the cleanest dark chocolates widely sold.
Very informative video! I'd love to see a protein powder comparison with lab results next
You're really getting good with the content skills!
Awesome! What would be great to see is human clinical trials for lead and cadmium levels, after cocoa consumption, since it's not how much we consume, but how much we absorb, that is the important factor, based on my understanding.
I'm shook. BLUEPRINT CHOCOLATE BAR WHEN?
That is going to be an expensive chocolate bar. I get the powder and it is expensive but it does go a long way if you are just making his nutty pudding receipe a couple times a week. Unless they don't make it 100% chocolate.
all the other stuff in bars=bad for you that's why they just sell the cocoa
@tayloranderson456 There's not much other stuff and it's not bad
Ritter Sport = Blueprint Chocolat
YOU'RE NOW BETTER THAN THE WORST, GOOD JOB. Hahahahaaa I need that on one of those 80s motivational posters LoL
I’d love to see this as an ongoing series comparing bars with different cocoa percentages of the brands mentioned here as well as other brands like Chocolove, Taza, Endangered Species, Evolved, Ghirardelli, Guittard, Valhrona etc…
The Consumer Reports study found five chocolates - one each from Mast, Taza and Valrhona, and two from Ghirardelli - with relatively low levels .
I eat 65% chocolat noir baobab made in Madagascar. I got mine as a gift from MIONJO. It's so good that it doesn't even have sugar
I absolutely loved dark chocolate when I was trying to get my iron levels up. I usually melted it in oatmeal and took it with vitamin c
Love what you’re doing man keep it up.
he s a rare rare human that s for sure. he s the best.
Glad to see some brands I can buy in supermarkets in Sweden, such as: Lindt, Ritter Sport and Tony's - guess I'll switch to Ritter Sport from Lindt going forward - thanks Bryan! Would be nice with a follow-up a year or two from this to see if suppliers have changed or they have adressed the issues with heavy metals.
Isn't it possible that Ritter seemed good because it's lower in chocolate? He's comparing a 50% chocolate bar to a bunch of 70% bars. If it's lower in chocolate, that may be the reason why it's lower in metals. But I don't want to eat 50% chocolate 50% sugar.
Context in the acceptable levels of heavy metals intake is important here. According to the NIH the tolerable weekly intake values for Hg, Pb, Cd, and As metals are 16, 25, 7, and 15 micrograms/kg body weight, respectively. Which means for a 80kg person you would need to consume hundreds of even the worst chocolate bar tested per week to even begin to touch the tolerable values. Blueprints cocoa powder is impressive but leaving out this information is very misleading to viewers.

Interesting, but how was this test conducted?
It isn't a fair ranking when a bar containing hazelnuts and sugar is put up against a 100% pure chocolate bar. There is a lot more actual chocolate in a plain bar which means more heavy metals. All the bars should be either 100% chocolate (or the same percentage) and should have no nuts / seeds / fruits / etc... That would be a fair playing ground. I would be interested in that outcome.
You are entertaining and made me smile, thank you! "Interesting, but how was this test conducted?

Thanks so much for this information - I am sometimes influenced by what the labels say - BUT NOT ANY MORE! You're awesome Bryan 😁
Absolutely love this video, Bryan! Thank you!🙏
The problem with this is that we 1) don’t know if these flavanols actually get absorbed at all, which if you check literature many don’t make it or make it in tiny quantities, 2) if the dose does anything at all, 3) what if you have more flavanols that are useless but equal/less of the ones that we actually care about, 4) we don’t know if 2 ug or 10 ug of lead has different outcomes in the body in the same sense that 1 ug of sodium or 20 ug of sodium are negligible and only when u consume > 5 grams you start harming yourself.
Good points being made
not safe amount for lead though, especially if it's given to kids
Good point
The flavanols do get absorbed and have a positive benefit on his body as I'm sure he's tested. Obviously not 100% of the flavanols present in a sample will be absorbed, but the concentration/sample definitely does affect how much is absorbed
Flavonols are fat soluble…cocoa has a ton of fat. Pretty sure they re getting absorbed to a high degree.
Also there is no margin of safety for heavy metals. Unfortunately the body does not have a way to rid itself from heavy metals meaning over the years they build up.
This is why the purified capsules by CocoaVia really are the best. If you're going to be eating enough cocoa almost daily to get whatever benefits you really have to worry about chronic cadmium poisoning.
Cocoavia is alkalized, though...
@@rbrown2217 that's the powder, not the capsules. Capsules aren't alkalized. Capsules have the best polyphenol/heavy metal (basically 0) ratio of anything. Also the best polyphenol/calorie ratio too, which is kind of important if you're talking about adding a few hundred calories a day of something forever.
@@SuperMrgentleman Oh interesting, thank you! (Although I still wish someone would test that Flavanaturals powder for heavy metals because I enjoy it...)
@@rbrown2217 Yeah good question. Consumer Labs did Cocoavia and a few other nibs powders and dark chocolates, maybe if you email them you can convince them

Thank you for doing this would love to see more ! ❤
I think it's very good that you tested brands from different countries. Ritter Sport and Lindt are very well known in Germany, and Lindt in particular is considered a kind of premium chocolate here. Seeing that it's all just marketing rather than quality really opens one's eyes. Thank you. Liebe Grüße
Lidnt is not just marketing. Their chocolate is high quality in terms of workmanship, they do pay attention to conching and other factors that make their chocolate super smooth. The beans themselves are probably just more average.
Nice video but here is something i don't like, which is the presentation of the data. I had no idea what the actual units of the flavonols and heavy metals were. Now from the lab results of your cocoa and the numbers you presented in this video i could deduce that the actual unit is flavonol or heavy metals / per serving (6g). It would be really helpful to put the proper units in the presentation and also add /per 100g which is what nutrients are generally presented in for food (atleast here in germany)
Am I mistaken or is your scoring system not based on the shown numbers? The only thing that matters is that you consume per needed mgs of flavanols the least amount of heavy metals. The higher the ratio of flavonols per 1 mcg heavy metals the better the chocolate. Thus, Ritter Sport should be 1. by a long shot.
Vosges: 159.1 / 4.51 = 35.28
Ritter Sport: 131.9 / 2.31 = 57.10
Hu: 261.1 / 5.43 = 48.08
Lindt: 174.9 / 4.5 = 38.87
Lily's: 169.6 / 4.38 = 38.72
Taza: 217.5 / 5.91 = 36.80
Beyond Good: 82.2 / 4.6 = 17.87
Theo: 163.7 / 11.1 = 14.75
Alter Eco (1): 210.5 / 14.7 = 14.32
Alter Eco (2): 140.5 / 10.6 = 13.25
More of this please!!!!!
Yep. Solid info! Thanks Bryan!
Major contributors to cadmium intake include food categories such as grains and grain products (27% contribution), vegetables and vegetable products (16%) and starchy roots and tubers (13%). Cadmium can be found occasionally in cocoa and chocolate and is typically associated with uptake of the metal from the soil by the cocoa trees. Chocolate products made a minor contribution (4%) to dietary exposure across all age groups.
