ah, chocolate, say it isn't so

Lead and Cadmium Could Be in Your Dark Chocolate

Per the article contents, the title ought to say "almost certainly are" rather than "could be".
To be safe, one would have to watch out and limit how much dark chocolate one eats.
On most days, I probably eat less than an ounce anyway, but still.
But for some of the brands, even half an ounce would put you over the recommended limits of lead or cadmium!
That makes me glum.

So... you're not looking for new reasons to use chocolate? :) Someone sent me this recipe this week. It looks interesting, but that's a lot of sugar. And, yeah, metals are bad in food. :(

That does look interesting. I'd be tempted to increase the amount of potato in it, but I suppose that ending up with chocolate-flavored mashed potatoes as that would probably result in, wouldn't taste so good.

I sometimes make chickpea flour fudge, but not often due to the amount of sugar. There's a similar concoction which uses less sugar, but I haven't made it in ages either. Thinking about all this is making me hungry. :)
