Loading ...I need to make a correction to treefrog when I started radiation I read somewhere but it’s not a issue. Only when they actually had radiation coffee once claim it was healthy back in time. Your going to be disappointed to find out the trees absorb the cadmium.
I checked to see if Hawaii if it was the same. Apparently the cacao trees absorb it. Then when processing using the sun outside lead from soil and dust can drop on the beans apparent sticky surface. That part may be prevented. Some foods can pull these metals out. Oats is one of them. Milk chocolate is safer.
lead and cadmium are the heavy metals most commonly found in chocolate beans, including those grown in Hawaii. Cadmium is absorbed from the soil by the cocoa plant, while lead can be deposited on the beans from dust and soil after harvest during the drying process. Other heavy metals like arsenic, nickel, and chromium can also be present.
I wrote this after having a cup of mocha coffee.
