Posted: 12/27/2022 4:23:42 PM   How believable is all the data... Consumer report could be a big scam💩... I’m quite suspicious in surveys like this when 💰 can buy everything and everyone🤑 Tags:

Posted: 1/3/2023 2:12:31 AM   Thanks searcher7, but "heavy metal food scientist"? I suspect that’s a title he gave himself. Maybe he has a valid point though. Not sure  Tags:

Posted: 1/4/2023 4:04:45 PM   ... in conclusion about the chocolate, I eat Ghirardelli 86 and Lindt 85- 90. I’ve decided this is my poison 🤣 Tags:

Posted: 1/9/2023 4:40:21 PM   Ah ok, I see. Thanks for clearing that up. I had googled the guy and some of the results were less than flattering Tags:

Posted: 1/9/2023 5:23:39 PM   My poison: Lindt 95% 16-20 grams after dinner.  Unlikely to give this up as every other chocolate I have tried tastes too sweet. Tags:

Posted: 1/10/2023 12:31:51 PM   Also guessing about Ghirardelli 92%, which in our house we decide "passes," since the Ghirardelli line seems to fare well. Tags:

Posted: 1/19/2023 5:10:44 AM   Thanks for the link to As You Sow, Bob. The only dark chocolate I see that they deem safe is Sam’s Choice 90%, although testing was in 2018. My local Walmart hasn’t had it for a while, but I enjoyed it. Tags:
