Don't worry about cadmium in the relatively trivial amount of chocolate most would eat. Most of our cadmium and heavy metal uptake comes from grains, especially rice.

No offense, but I'm not trusting an article written by a competing chocolate company and posted on Reid Hoffman's LinkedIn which funds many of the NGOs working against us.

I agree with you that rice has high levels - and grains are particularly bad bc they get the double-whammy Monsanto spray.
