    Two things:
    1) Here's the independent 3rd party certificate of analysis of Blueprint Cocoa Powder: blueprint.bryanjohnson.com/products/cocoa-powder (under ‘Lab Results')
    2) Typo: the correct heavy metal score for Vosges is 2.0 micrograms, not 4.51. The overall score is accurate.

      problem is it can vary so much between batches. The thing is to avoid any food from 3rd world countries. why? dodgy regulation and pollution. Unfortunately , cacao only available from 3rd world. its basically a lucky dip. Make it a rule at least, apart from cacao, every food item you get is produced from top nations. Be careful of italy for e.g. supposedly it can be 'product of italy', but its just packed in italy from china or whatever dodgy place. all that toxic crap being absorbed in rice, grains, fruits whatever. then the processing plants whever whatever the eff goes on.

      Major contributors to cadmium intake include food categories such as grains and grain products (27% contribution), vegetables and vegetable products (16%) and starchy roots and tubers (13%). Cadmium can be found occasionally in cocoa and chocolate and is typically associated with uptake of the metal from the soil by the cocoa trees. Chocolate products made a minor contribution (4%) to dietary exposure across all age groups.

    Apparently, the age of the cocoa tree being harvested matters a lot. Younger trees have less heavy metals since the roots aren't as deep as older trees. I've also read that certain regions are notorious for having higher lead and cadmium content, although i can't remember those specific locations. I think the moral of the story is that you shouldn't consume chocolate every day unless you can verify that it's less contaminated.
    Bryan, you should make a line of high-quality chocolate bars! You already have the cocoa powder source and testing down. Now you can make a Blueprint bar of chocolate!

      Bryan's chocolate is still very high in metals. It's just that the suggested daily serving is 5.65g. But with regular dark chocolate people usually eat more at once, say 20g. California's daily max intake of cadmium is 4.1mcg, Bryan's chocolate has 2.484mcg per suggested serving. Take another 5g and you're over limits.

    How can we know more details about this study? How were results calculated? Did they use several batches from one brand to calculate average?
    What if heavy metal content of cocoa varies from harvest to harvest?
    If this is the case, this test becomes irrelevant as brands will have different amounts of bad things in their chocolate bars in different batches. You need to test different samples from the same manufacturer to at least get their average score.

      @ibmohrleminen6970 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +9

      from my point of view the score mostly reflects if the chocolate is low on heavy metals, so this would favour less concentrated chocolate as kakao contains heavy metals, which explains why a 50% chocolate can rank so high and pure chocolate rank so low. This test should also factor in sugar and other additives for a more accurate score.

  • @guglielmo7191

    Keep in mind everyone and also Bryan, that heavy metals are from the cocoa plant that absorbs them while it gets nutrients, so they are ultimately found in the cocoa. That's why it's normal for a higher % cocoa chocolate bar to have more heavy metals! You actually have to consider the ratio between cocoa and metals, so before looking at the heavy metals total look at the total weight of cocoa in the chocolate bar

    • @Juan-kh2yl

    • @RP-zz9gv
      @RP-zz9gv 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +10

      I was thinking the same since the less dark ratios / more cocoa butter in them would make the amount of heavy metals less , since there is less actual chocolate , didn’t seem like they adjusted for that , not all bars are equal with other ingredients added

    • @m1ar1vin
      @m1ar1vin 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +17

      Not true, because more cocoa also means more flavenols, if you take the ratio than the cocoa % cancels out for the scoring, so it doesn't matter for the ranking

Now from the lab results of your cocoa and the numbers you presented in this video i could deduce that the actual unit is flavonol or heavy metals / per serving (6g).

    Am I mistaken or is your scoring system not based on the shown numbers? The only thing that matters is that you consume per needed mgs of flavanols the least amount of heavy metals. The higher the ratio of flavonols per 1 mcg heavy metals the better the chocolate. Thus, Ritter Sport should be 1. by a long shot.
    Vosges: 159.1 / 4.51 = 35.28
    Ritter Sport: 131.9 / 2.31 = 57.10
    Hu: 261.1 / 5.43 = 48.08
    Lindt: 174.9 / 4.5 = 38.87

    Glad to see some brands I can buy in supermarkets in Sweden, such as: Lindt, Ritter Sport and Tony's - guess I'll switch to Ritter Sport from Lindt going forward - thanks Bryan! Would be nice with a follow-up a year or two from this to see if suppliers have changed or they have adressed the issues with heavy metals.

      Isn't it possible that Ritter seemed good because it's lower in chocolate? He's comparing a 50% chocolate bar to a bunch of 70% bars. If it's lower in chocolate, that may be the reason why it's lower in metals. But I don't want to eat 50% chocolate 50% sugar.

    Context in the acceptable levels of heavy metals intake is important here. According to the NIH the tolerable weekly intake values for Hg, Pb, Cd, and As metals are 16, 25, 7, and 15 micrograms/kg body weight, respectively. Which means for a 80kg person you would need to consume hundreds of even the worst chocolate bar tested per week to even begin to touch the tolerable values. Blueprints cocoa powder is impressive but leaving out this information is very misleading to viewers.

  • @dennisjames9091
    @dennisjames9091 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +15

    Did you know that tolerable daily intakes of Pb and As are around ~200 micrograms and ~30 micrograms respectively ? This guy tells you that 10ug of heavy metals in 100g of chocolate is "bad". You are probably eating other things daily with much higher concentrations of heavy metals, like tuna for example. When spending your money on health, make sure you spend it wisely. Buying 4 times more expensive cocoa power is not a good investment, there are much more effective health-related things you can do with that money.

      This. It's amazing to be how much misinformation is in this video. TOXICITY IS IN THE DOSE and these heavy metal levels are so negligible they aren't even worth discussing

    Great test. I love Ritter chocolate. There are tons of different bars in Germany and everyone loves it. Question: why is some of the data of the winner blurred out at the end of the vid?

  • @the_hexxler2745
    @the_hexxler2745 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +7

    I think it's very good that you tested brands from different countries. Ritter Sport and Lindt are very well known in Germany, and Lindt in particular is considered a kind of premium chocolate here. Seeing that it's all just marketing rather than quality really opens one's eyes. Thank you. Liebe Grüße

    • @UhOhUmm
      @UhOhUmm 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Lidnt is not just marketing. Their chocolate is high quality in terms of workmanship, they do pay attention to conching and other factors that make their chocolate super smooth. The beans themselves are probably just more average.

    Awesome! What would be great to see is human clinical trials for lead and cadmium levels, after cocoa consumption, since it's not how much we consume, but how much we absorb, that is the important factor, based on my understanding.

    Quick question about your cocoa product - will you be including mycotoxin testing (for aflatoxins, ochratoxin A, etc.) in the reports? Mycotoxins can be harmful over time, and I didn’t see this in the current certificates. Thanks so much for all the testing and transparency you provide; you’re doing incredible work!

    Bryan, thank you so much for doing this!!! Mind blowing! my favorite chocolate was not on the top, so will have to say good-bye to it. I have your powder and love it, but I thin you need to produce some chocolate now too. It's just so nice to have a tiny piece after a meal once in a while. Would love to see more of these videos!! Love your sense of humor too!
