I had 10 popular dark chocolate brands independently tested for heavy metals (arsenic, lead, cadmium, and mercury), and healthy cocoa flavanols. Total flavanols / total heavy metals = final score.
🍫 Blueprint Cocoa - blueprint.brya...
❓WHAT IS BLUEPRINT
Like past explorers, I’ve asked an unthinkable question: is death still inevitable or is a new era of longevity here?
After selling my company Braintree Venmo for $800 million, I built a team of dozens of medical professionals, became the most measured person in history, and achieved arguably the best comprehensive biomarkers in the world.
And I share everything with you, for free.
After having poor health habits as a kid, running myself into the ground from 20 years of building companies, and a decade of chronic depression, now, at the chronological age of 46, my biomarkers are in the top 1%.
And not just the top 1% of 46 year olds, but on many markers, such as my cardiovascular fitness, I’m in the top 1% of 18 year olds.
Top 1%: Speed of aging
Top 1%: Muscle mass & function
Top 1%: Fat mass
Top 1%: Inflammation
Top 1%: Cardiovascular
Top 1%: Bone mass
Top 1%: Sleep
Top 1%: Combined clinical markers
Top 1%: Nighttime erections
Blueprint is an algorithm, built by science, that takes better care of me than I can myself.

I think it’s really more straightforward to simply rank according to heavy metals. The flavanols don’t directly cancel out the heavy metals. It doesn’t matter what the ratio is. If the chocolate is toxic, the chocolate is toxic.

Be careful of italy for e.g. supposedly it can be 'product of italy', but its just packed in italy from china or whatever dodgy place. all that toxic crap being absorbed in rice, grains, fruits whatever. then the processing plants whever whatever the eff goes on.

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.

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.

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.
@ibmohrleminen6970

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.

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 get my cocoa powder from Walmart, I don't remember the brand name but it might just be the Walmart brand name. We transferred the contents into a jar so I don't have the packaging. That would have been a neat side-by-side comparison now, something that's easily accessible and an identical type product.

I used to buy "BetterBody Foods Organic Cacao Powder, 16 oz" from walmart for my smoothies, but I noticed it was making me really weak when I rode the bike so I ditched all Chocolate after I googled it was from heavy metals. I switched to blending organic: walnut, chia seed, flax seed, green apple, raw garlic, lime, blue berries, red grapes, black beans, simmered tomatoes 30min, spring water and sauerkraut eaten. I eat 1 cup per meal with 5 to 6 meals. I ride the bike 30min a day. I have to eat like this because I got a mental disorder and meds are very dangerous. I swallow lots of (crushed then sat out for 30min) fresh garlic 5 to 6 cloves a day after each meal. I was 135pounds before I got on my mental disorder meds.

@Willy-hs7uu 8 дней назад
There is a correlation between heavy metal concentration and cacao concentration. here are my thoughts on all this: Polyphenols are lowered in the Dutch process system, (alcalized) mineral content would not change, so the ration between polyphenol to heavy metals would should be much higher in raw chocolate. Cacao tree on their own do not create heavy metals out of thin air, it has to be in the soil, in other words, in theory a cacao tree grown in soil with zero heavy metals, would produce chocolate/cacao with zero heavy metals. Which brings me to other sources of heavy metals, some can be absorbed through our skin, we can breath them in, and it is in our food and even water. not all heavy metals are the same, some have half lives of a few days, others take years. Some foods/minerals help leach out heavy metals, for example Cilantro. there are many chelating substances we can consume. My main concern over cacao was not the heavy metals, but the oxalates, of course it's not the highest food source for that, things like Beets, Spinach, and Star Fruit are much higher. I removed those things from my diet, but still use raw cacao powder in my smoothies. the high polyphenols, have been linked to increased natural stem cell production in the body. I try and get other polyphenols from other sources as well.

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.

You're being a bit sneaky here Bryan, giving your product a lead. It is not correct to compare fat-free cocoa powder with chocolate, which has between 30 and 40% fat. It is normal to have less polyphenols in chocolate because sugar and fat reduce this percentage. There are more in defatted cocoa because the fat has been removed there and they are in a concentrated form. If you want to correct yourself, compare similar products - cocoa powder with cocoa powder, chocolate with chocolate.

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
