Eat Lead!

The taste of that piece of chocolate you are passionately and mindfully appreciating while it’s seductively melting in your mouth contains higher amounts of lead. Don’t panic, yet, the story is just getting started!

Surprisingly, the shells of cocoa beans, which are considered to be the chief ingredient in chocolate, found to have a great ability to absorb lead from the air. So far so good, right!

You would think that you are safe as the amount of lead found in chocolate depends on the amount of lead existing on the air, which means that the less amount of lead on the air, the safer are the pieces of chocolate you are sensuously mumbling.

No intention to disappoint you but, unfortunately, a shitload of our cocoa is imported from Nigeria, which is widely known for its leaded environment. Well, it happens that lead occurs not only in the chocolate bars you are daily consuming but also in everything else, even wholesome vegetables and grain.

Of course, There is no need to remind you how dangerous is lead as you must be aware of what this poison is capable of doing to your health. But did you know that only an average chocolate bar is ranked in the fourth position for being among the foods with higher levels of lead?

Oh, yes, and that’s not all. It doesn’t really matter how little or how much amount of lead to which your body is exposed because in both cases it is harmful. Even worse, the way this poison affects you is totally not the way it affects your little significant ones.
