It's chocolate, and this is America.

yeah that is a laughable assumption.
Heavy metal in most chocolates may not pose health risk, researchers say
Ska on the other hand, does.
No wonder all my best friends are metal heads
This is an odd timed article because I just saw two yesterday, one on CNN and one on another site saying the exact opposite.
Both discussed how heavy metals, specifically lead, was found in most dark chocolates from around the world now due to over use of fertilizers and even in the organic brands.
So now am reading it’s okay to eat it in little doses? Maybe just a little lead is okay? 😂
It's not okay to eat heavy metals in any amount because they accumulate in your bones and get released later when your bone density goes down. That's literally why Alzheimer's (which can be caused by heavy metals like aluminum) happens in old age.
Great! System of a Down goes great with chocolate!
