I love it and love chocolate, but I think all chocolate has heavy metals. Some worse than others, but still kids shouldn’t have too much. In a couple years I’ll know whether chelation can keep up with chocolate consumption. I’m eating quite a bit now.

This is a real concern indeed. I believe Navitas came pretty good out of the latest ConsumerLab test, but correct me if I’m wrong. (In the past that has been different, but they stated at that time they had found another supplier).

FWIW, Bryan Johnson, of the “blueprint” fame has come out with a line of his own C powder, after testing a whole bunch of commercial options. He claims to have carefully sourced his product and has third party lab tests to prove it, and it clocks in at the very lowest practically trace amounts of pollutants like heavy metals. Personally, I have indeed been using the Navitas product, but I intend to give his “blueprint” product a try - it’s available on Amazon; pretty pricy, but I’m happy to pay not to consume heavy metals. YMMV.

I’ve been using Blueprint for cocoa because of the testing he did and putting it in my Greek yogurt

This shouldn’t be an issue? There is a EU directive for heavy metal content in food; the values for cocoa are very strict actually and it’s regularly tested by the national authorities - confirmed e.g. by consumer protection agencies in Germany and France.

So unless you import chocolate or powder from China everything should be fine.

I’m in Iowa, they’ll probably just send all the really bad stuff here.

Like coffee sold in the US does not meet requirements for the EU, as the coffee contains too higher a mold count.

Same with eggs and chicken, US product does not meet EU standard.

US Companies Lobbying at it finest.
