You will eventually rock in UTube too just like IG..it takes some time but ur effort in spreading healthy info will pay off..respect

Navitas Cacao Powder website says it has, 0.07mcg per gram of Lead. 0.13mcg per gram of Cadmium 1 Serving is 6 grams(1 Tablespoon) 1 serving contains: 0.42mcg of Lead *Safe Level* =0.5mcg/day 0.78mcg of Cadmium *Safe Level* =4.1mcg/day

but is it true ?

Thank you for this! I actually had just bought cacao powder from Costco but something told me to do research before actually pouting it in my body. I learned so much today, I’m a lil shocked that this isn’t taught in schools.

Such valuable information! I was using terrasoul, but was definitely exceeding the limit ( a tablespoon to tablespoon & a half).

maria m. dominguez it was in powder form and I was adding it to smoothies

Omg it has been a week I spend my time to search which brand of cacao powder I should get! Because they’re so many! thanks so much for this video

I REALLY appreciate this video man and I subscribed. Been searching for a solid rundown on this highly concerning issue and yours is the best I've found by far. I live in CA too and ordered a bag of navitas and got that nasty warning label and was like wait...

Thank you! I should have watched this before buying a double pack of Terrasoul. I'm glad I bought Terrasoul, I just like way more than 1 TBSP per night.

Thank you for sharing this information and it's very easy to find out where a company is sourcing their product from.

Love all your content!! Always looking forward to the next video (knowledge bomb) Thank you 🙂

OMG just discovered you when researching cacoa. You're amazing! My husband said you're like an intellectual Bill Burr! 😂😂

Great video! I’m now curious about this “Moringa Hot Chocolate” by CoCoRinga that claims it’s so healthy, not to mention it is pricey. I’m gonna have to research..

Is carob powder also full of heavy metals?

Great channel, just found. Thanks for the information.

Thank you SO MUCH....I was so happy having CACAO as a new real SUPERFOOD ..unfortunately NO LONGER ...heavy metals = SICK BRAIN....thank you Doc !!!!

Which organic cacao powder brand you recommend is legit please advice. nevermind i saw the whole video you are amazing👏

Great work you're doing, thank you!

Thank you so much for all your work and all the information’s. Was even better if you show us the picture off the good cacao that you were talking about.😊

This was very informative! I've been using Navitas but will definitely be stopping that now. The only comment I have is that Viva Naturals' packaging does have the prop65 warning on it - do we know why, considering their COAs showed that they were under the limit? And if there are brands that do not have the prop65 warning, should that mean it doesn't exceed CA's levels?

Thanks Jim you answer my cuestión 🙏👍

Hi Dr. G, do you have a more recent review?

Great information! Have you done a video on heavy metals in turmeric? If not, is that something you would consider doing? Thank you!

From Consumer Reports Testing...."The best cocoa powder overall was Navitas Organics Organic Cacao Powder, which reached 77 percent of CR’s lead limit and 17 percent of the cadmium limit. Navitas has a third party test all finished products for heavy metals to ensure low levels, according to the company website".

Excellent research. Educating others.

what about Cacao Flavanol extract supplement? they dont contain heavy metals ?? what brand do you recommend pls

Wow, nothing but respect for you

I was using navitas Brand. After I tested my cadmium levels and they were super high! I stopped immediately. I breastfeed to and I was passing that on to my daughter via my breast milk.

@@Mvp_466Hello, did you find any info and how is your cadmium level ? Please share.

Thank you I needed this video so much bro

I wonder if the same can be said for spinach, and other common “healthy” foods……I’ve heard there is a lot of lead in organic spinach.

Great information. Thank you.

Thank you so much ! I just bought navitas cacao nibs for first time for smoothies , so the cacao Nibs are not safe ? What about navitas cacao butter ? Got it for my skincare Please let me know I’m gonna throw it away if it’s not safe Ty

So Terrasoul had a lawsuit against them. Not sure if you were aware of that

What about cacao nibs? I’m assuming same companies??Measurements?

I looked into Santa Babara Chocolate and I only see COCOA powder for sale, not CACAO. Did they use to sell Cacao or are your ratings based on the Cocoa powder?

That is all I have found also. They have a product Rainforest Dark Vegan Cacao Powder, though the ingredient in CAPS says COCOA!

Can you pretty please do an updated video of this pleeeease 🙏

Sevenhills and Buyeholefoodsonline in the UK shared their heavy metal levels with me and were all guaranteed to be well below the max. threshold for EU/UK law.

Could you list the dodgers please

Has anyone researched a brand called.... blue print? Bryan Johnson's company...he is that longevity guy taking it to the next level and beyond.

What about foods alive cacao?

Did Navitas ever provide the info since then?

Simply tell if Terrasoul Cacao is recommended for its cadmium content

im not in USA... any Eu options?

Question: is there any safe way to make a nice dark chocolate flavored protein shake? Cause I was putting 3 tablespoons in my shakes (which is apparently a death wish after watching this). One tablespoon I can't even taste the chocolate let alone one teaspoon

Can someone describe if cadmium is added to cacao powder.

Going onto Santa Barbara’s website, and I don’t see cacao powder listed as an option. Only cocoa powder - is this what you were referring to in this video?

Yes.

This issue is amount of metals in Cacao and that’s so concerning. Even Navitas brand has metals

Too much words, too little information, on and on and on the same things rather than valuable information.

That one dislike is from one of the companies in the worst group

Another ‘food’ to avoid! I’ll just buy doughnuts, throw away the outer portion and eat the holes.

Should all chocolate products be avoided or just the powders? Like is a chocolate bar just as bad ?

@Sam Adams It says in the video that most of the heavy metals got introduced in their shipping process and major companies took the concentrations of heavy metals seriously from the 2017 As You Sow report. The best in the list contains so little that you would not need to worry much about how much you are using, based on California's guidelines that are more strict than FDA. That proves that just having cocoa is not necessarily guaranteed for dangerous contamination.

is this about cacao or cocoa ...two different things

Does choclate nesquik have cadmium?

I’ve been using Terrasoul since last year and most recently found mold in my dates, which I ingested and felt very sick from. I was very concerned since I’m exclusively nursing my baby. I contacted Terrasoul and they were very noncommittal. They did the bare minimum and were satisfied with Amazon providing me with a refund. They did nothing more. From their hands-off approach, I also got the impression that this happens often, as I got an unsigned and generic reply from customer service (only the last message was personalized and signed). Extremely disappointed with this brand and their handling of this very delicate situation. If I were the owner of this company, I’d be mortified with how my team handled this. When I tried sharing this with others on IG, my post was deleted and my personal account was blocked. Just awful all around!

Hi. I got a copy of a COA after watching your video from Antler Farms. I was wondering if I could get your email and send it over to you and get your thoughts on it and run the numbers? Ty

The only SB chocolate I can find was this: www.santabarbarachocolate.com/vegan-cocoa/? Is this your favorite one? I'm a little cautious because it says cocoa not cacao. Description sounds like its "raw'
