This article didn’t go into it, but here’s a little background info from how some of these heavy metals end up in chocolate (at least):
The researchers found that cacao plants take up cadmium from the soil, with the metal accumulating in cacao beans as the tree grows. That’s similar to how heavy metals contaminate some other foods.
But lead seems to get into cacao after beans are harvested. The researchers found that the metal was typically on the outer shell of the cocoa bean, not in the bean itself. Moreover, lead levels were low soon after beans were picked and removed from pods but increased as beans dried in the sun for days. During that time, lead-filled dust and dirt accumulated on the beans. “We collected beans on the ground that were heavily loaded with lead on the outer shell,” DiBartolomeis says.
The link from my quote includes a breakdown of the different types of bars and how much was found in each, so I would compare the kind of chocolate you usually eat, the safest choices were:
Edit 2: Note this particular study was done on dark chocolate bars. Milk chocolate bars would be more diluted.
Mast - Organic Dark Chocolate\80% Cocoa
Taza Chocolate - Organic Deliciously Dark Chocolate\70% Cacao
Ghirardelli - Intense Dark Chocolate\86% Cacao
Ghirardelli - Intense Dark Chocolate Twilight Delight\72% Cacao
Valrhona - Abinao Dark Chocolate\85% Cacao
Even those contained small levels of both, so eating an entire bar all at once is probably not a good idea.
Also there are other foods that can have it:
It can be found in many other foods—such as sweet potatoes, spinach, and carrots—and small amounts from multiple sources can add up to dangerous levels. That’s why it’s important to limit exposure when you can.
Koch brother: I missed how many? It’s a good thing my brother is dead or he’d kill me for not buying all of them! Well at least we have half the Senate, that’s all we really need.

We should be admitting the top students from all over the world so that some of them will ply their trades here, boosting our own economy and services. But racism and jingoism prevails.
Seems nobody has mentioned how NHTSA has been looking very closely at Tesla autopilot and FSD. Its no wonder Musk would shell out what amounts to nothing for him in an effort to be able to continue offering his unsafe products.
The OCM is already accepting license applications, and should have open stores some time next year. Either way, prices will be much higher than what you can get from Michigan or the res for a while.
That’s not really a long term concern with the mn bill, there’s a lot of provisions in there with the intent of undercutting street prices. Imo the MN bill is one of the best in the country, but if the res prices are anything to go on, the prices will definitely be insane for a while. Right now, the cheapest you can buy from a res is about $400 for an ounce
