I'd like to write just one line - You changed my life, Sir.
Thank you is too short a word but thank you from the bottom of my heart and family and friends.
Philippine cacao called tablea is pure cacao.
I researched this a LOT last year. I eat 92% organic cacao dark chocolate from Equal Exchange. I have a 1" square piece daily.
Where do you get it from?
Great info Dr. Li. Thank you for all you do. I’ve read your book, gifted it; then bought another to gift to another friend.
Thank You Dr. Li, this clarification helps so much🧡🩵♥️💜🤍
My personal stem cell experience... I am 70 years old and 10 years ago I had an MRI that found two torn miniscus and a bone spur in my left knee and med to advanced arthritis in both knees. I was in a lot of pain! I had stem cells from a delivered placenta (so no moral problem) and my own spun blood plasma injected into both knees, praying it would help. My knees were noticeably better the next day, but completely like new within about 3 weeks!
I have no more arthritis and it's been 10 years! And the bone spur and two torn miniscus are healed. 70 years old now and knees like new. I tell everybody, but the sad thing is that insurance co's don't pay for it, so it doesn't get much awareness!
Loved your dark chocolate talk!
Why did you go the placenta route rather bone marrow? Happy for your recovery.

There is a place close to me that advertised it and I went in to see what they could do. They use delivered placentas, donated by women. They say those stem cells are like neuttral to everyone, so no rejection at all from your body. It sure worked for me, I was in a lot of pain and the orthopeasic surgeon said I should get surgery. I really didn't want to do that, plus I had medium to advanced arthritis in both of my knees which would only get worse as I age! I just know it really worked for me!!
@@joebruhin2098 Its proven to be more efficacious
Thank you for placing this. Also considert to to this own blood therapie because my Walking is very Bad. Never heard anny results of somebody who realy did take the Therapie. Your comment makes me overthinking It again. Thank you.
im 72 and tore my mcl pretty bad 35 years ago, with 3 more re injuries. hurt bad for many years then upped all healing foods and chondroitan glucosamine etc etc eespecially high vit. c 5,000 mg a day. knee is 98% healed and im a gardener by trade on a hill. Never a pain pill. BTW was taken. i just lived in bad pain but no more!
Thank you Dr. Li
The brands found to have the LOWEST levels of heavy metal contamination are:
A) Mast Organic Dark chocolate (80 % cocoa)
B) Taza Organic Chocolate ( 70% Cocoa)
C) Valrhona Abino Dark Chocolate (85% cocoa)
D) Ghirardelli Intense Dark Chocolate/Twilight Delight (86% and 72% Cocoa respectively) 😊
I have never seen any of these on sale anywhere in the U.K.
Can any of these be bought in Canada?
@@constantgardener19;- right, probably they are American brands.
Good info thank you Dr. Li
CR-> Safer choices

Oh thank you so much for posting this. So important to know this info.
Great tutorial Dr. Li ... many thanks for sharing. All the best.
My rule with chocolate now is to have it only as add-on ingredient (vs eating it a piece as a treat), so I may use it sparingly for Tiramisu or a few chocolate chips over an ice-cream bowl. There are of course other ways to get polyphenols. For example, some Berries are high in polyphenols (anthocyanins, flavonols, and phenolic acids). I add them to our smoothies.
elderberries: 1,191 mg per 100 g
blackcurrants: 560 mg per 100 g
blueberries: 525 mg per 100 g
Thank you for your explanation dr. Li 😊
Love this Dr ,so helpful !
A few issues NOT covered in this otherwise informative discussion of chocolate: First off, the lower the cacao percentage the HIGHER the amount of sugar or other sweetener. Sugar is to be avoided. WHO advise people to eat 25 grams or less per day. So, if you are going to eat chocolate with a lower cacao percentage, realize the the balance is going to be a sweetener of some sort. Personally, I look for chocolate that is either 85% cacao or, if lower, then sweetened with stevia or some other natural sweetener. The second issue Dr. Li left out (forgot?) is to mention is what is the maximum amount of chocolate or cocoa to be consumed per day. One square per bar or ??? I would recommend that before you regularly consume a cacao product, you ensure that the company has a third party test all finished products for heavy metals to ensure low levels. The Consumer Reports article is entitled "A Third of Chocolate Products Are High in Heavy Metals, CR's Tests Find". Thanks again, Dr. Li, for another great video.

Invaluable information! TY
Yes, Consumer Reports tested 28 Dark chocolate bars for lead and cadmium.
Europe has clear policies and limits on the presence of heavy metals in food, but the US does not 😮. The FDA has yet to establish specific limits on heavy metals contamination in finished food products.
Limits only exist in bottled water, which I've recently read has microplastics!! Fiji on the safe list, was recently recalled.🙄
Top picks for least heavy metals in Chocolate:
1. Mast Organic Dark Chocolate 80% Cocoa
2. Taza Organic Chocolate 70% Cocoa
3. Ghirardelli Intense Dark Chocolate Twilight Delight 86%/72% Cocoa
4. Valrhona Abinao Dark Chocolate
5. Villakuyaya Organic Dark Chocolate Single Origin 100% Cocoa
Worst:
1. Theo Organic Pure Dark 70%, 80%
2. Trader Joe's Dark Chocolate Lovers 85%
3. Lily's Extremely Dark 85% Cocoa
4. Green & Blacks Organic Dark Chocolate 70% Cocoa.
I've consumed 3 of the bad brands, 2 of the good brands.
While mentioning the sugar issue, there is one more factor that should be mentioned. In general higher cacao percentage is better because it means less sugar, but higher does not always mean better in another respect. When you go over 80-85%, you need to check to see if the particular bar has been "treated with alkali" or "dutched". To remove the bitterness in very high cacao chocolates, they often treat the cacao with alkali, which removes the flavanoids. Yes, it is less bitter, and yes, it has less sugar, but it also has less of the good things that gives the cacao its flavor and makes it good for you.
Am ftom philippines. i have seeds of cacao.. i dried it under the sun and grilled it. I peel the seeds and grind it.. that's it i can make pure cacao hot choco or make a champorado. I hope its good really for health
Thanks Dr. Li.

Fabulous, useful information.
Very good quality video, thanks. More please
Thank you!
I like having Taza with my matcha tea each day. I also tend to try and eat fresh cilantro as it helps to flush the heavy metals from your body. That’s what I’m led to believe… I hope so.
Yes! Have heard that about cilantro!🌿
Thank you Dr Li. Really enjoying the new weekly podcasts.
Didn't eat chocolate for years as it gave me a stomachache.Moved to a place that grows it in Central America,no stomach issues at all,then i realized there was only 3 ingredients in the local chocolate, the stuff sold in USA has a gazillion! I now take the local powdered chocolate in the morning with nothing added as my naturopath told me that it stimulates my bile and taste much better than the bitters i was taking. Food is medicine.Thank you Dr Li.
Most helpful, thanks.
As always great info☕️☕️☕️🙏🙏🙏
Finally. Been wondering if you would start addressing heavy metals pesticides etc in the foods you recommend. Like stone fruits. Are they next?
That's why he has recommended buying organic. Much less to worry about there.
I will largely depend on the soil in which the cacoa plant was grown, on the other hand if you live near a lead smelter you will fair much worsethan eating dark chocolate every day, or if you lived near a main road during the 5-6 decades of leaded petroleum
A way to consume it right. Select a high quality chocolate 🍫 with 90% as they have much less fat and sugar in them. You can eat one square or maybe even two squares per day. It is suggested you take glycine and carnosine before and after you ate the two squares take berberin and then walk for 5 to 10 minutes if you can. Do prp once a month as well.
Thank you so much for raising the awareness, I have been consuming Cacao Powder daily, though it is organic and Rain Forest Alliance certified, but it does not have a third party testing report, it is concerning. Won't drink it daily now.
Thank you
Dark chocolate, peanut butter, cinnamon, honey
Wow,fascinating!
Thank you so much for this video
Is there any information on how much is ok?
How are they able to sell this chocolate without warning labels when, according to the Consumer Repots study, one serving of some of them contain *250%* or more of the recommended daily max of heavy metals?? (And that's just one serving -- many people eat more than that daily because of all the recommendations that dark chocolate is supposedly so good for you.) And Consumer Reports only checked for lead & cadmium, not arsenic and other heavy metals. WTF??
They dry it along roads and they use leaded gasoline in those countries.
Thanks for adressing this. Even the organic brands have heavy metals. Hopefully a way will be developed to remove them. I'll eat the other foods that have the same effect instead.
I found you through a great live show with OFFGRIDWITHDOUGANDSTACY, so happy I found Doug & Stacy , it’s exciting to hear what you say!!! My daughter found Dr. Bronner’s chocolate, apparently no heavy metals. Can you please check to see if this is true? 🙏 Thank
Hi Dr Li I saw ur books at bookstore yesterday I would have bought them but I’m 70 yrs old n the print in ur books r small n light n No pictures so I didn’t like ur books please if u write another book use larger print n add pictures thanks! Keep up the good work!!!
Would there be any of the stem cell benefits for 5yr old with cerebral palsy or maybe not? Thank you for all your videos, they are truly helping us!❤
The darker the chocolate the higher the oxalates ! Namaste 😎🦋
Your body makes oxalates endogenously, whether you get oxalates from diet or not. So avoiding oxalates in foods won't eliminate oxalates from your body.
Must drink more water to help the kidneys from oxilates! Simple.😊

More water💧!!!
Thank you Dr Li. I have learned so much from you in the last few months and I try to apply what you teach. Could I suggest a theme for a future video? It is about rice. I am from Portugal and we have several types of rice grown there. I eat a Mediterranean diet but I like Japanese, Indian and Korean foods too. My question is, why is that countries that eat a lot of rice prefer white to brown rice? Japanese for instance who have been eating rice for centuries prefer white. Is white healthier than brown then?
Organic Basmati brown rice is one of the best.
Hi Carla. It's good that the rice is grown right there, I saw an Asian doctor who says that she does not eat rice, being from a rice producing country, she says that it is contaminated with arsenic, she says that she prefers to eat Quinoa, which is much healthier than rice.
I HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THESE BRANDS.
Ok, but if we have 70mil or whatever stem cells in our bone marrow perhaps they come out slowly over out lifetime to do repairs. If we accelerate their exit from our bone marrow then perhaps there is a bad effect down the line when we deplete the stores?
Thanks. Would be good to have a critique of the saturated fat (and types of fat) in dark chocolate bars as I'm a bit confused as to whether I should limit dark chocolate to a small amount solely based on fat content.
Hello Dr Li. I buy the cocoa beans and I make my own chocolate
Bryan Johnson recently did a video showing the heavy metal content of various popular chocolate bars. It's very telling, check it out!
Hi Doc, I don’t actually eat chocolate per se because of its sugar content but I do nibble roasted cacao(atleast 10 roasted cacao) with my early cup of black sugar-free coffee. I’ve been doing this for almost a year now and I just feel the health benefits its giving to my body. Now, my question is if it’s ok to consume just roasted cacao seeds in the long run. Thanks for answering☺️
Whats the best cacao powder to use for hot chocolate?
How healthy is making tea out of the cacao hulls
Bless you, Dr Li.
I'm drinking my cacao ( a heaped teaspoonfull ) dissolved in a mug of warm skimmed milk with honey. Is that ok? I have it every morning. Hope it's ok. I can get 90% chocolate bar from Lindt that also has 100%. Thank you.
Can you comment on heavy metal contamination from fertilizers and is this a potential source in the soil?
What about just taking raw cacao powder ?
Quick question, does it follow that bananas also have harmful levels of lead and cadmium?
❤love Ghirardelli
Very good info👍😊..if heavy metal ruins chokolade under 70%, it ruins my ears too,exept W.A.S.P 😁😁😁
I use powdered cacao for hot chocolate for breakfast. For the cacao Is this any better>
So I make my own dark chocolate with coconut oil, monk fruit & cocoa powder. Does that put me at higher risk? Should I buy organic cocoa powder?
kind of sketch advise. The lower the ca cao the higher the sugar. I use 100% and put some stevia on it for sweetening to make it taste good. None of the bars mentioned here are sans sugar.
how many grams of 100% cacao in each cup to get what they had in that study for double stem cells after a month of drinking?
I'm having trouble finding a good DARK hot chocolate mix. Can you recommend some in particular, or do you make your DARK hot chocolate from solid chunks? Help please. How about a cooking demonstration?
Homemade is really easy, I do it sugarfree.(keto)
I eat a lot of cacao. Easily 100g a day in the form of Trader Joe's 72% dark, and Ghiradelli Cacao melted into that with butter to make it 85% plus. So easily 50g of cacao a day.
I did a lead blood test recently. No problem with lead so far.
Any chocolatier would advise not to eat chocolate ( especially good) with coffee.
But, as it's your national day, so ,' you do you'.
What about baking cocoa? Does a person still reap the benefits from the polyphenols?
Howcan i find tgese chicolate in the uk. I have not hear of any of tgese brsbds. Tgank you
LA PUBLICITA IN ITALIANO MAIL FILMATONON SI PUO IN ITALIANO?
Thank you for a great video. I switched from dark chocolate to Navitas Organic 100% Cacao powder, unsweetened and not Dutch processed. Are there heavy metals in 100% Cacao powder?
Thank you. Have a great day.
I just googled Navitas Cacao powder and heavy metals, and this is what Navitas disclosed: " average Cadmium content in our Cacao powder is 0.4 mcg/g. For lead, it's 0.01 mcg/g"---trace amounts.
Navitas Cacao powder has the lowest cadmium and lead levels compared to 6 other brands, according to a watch group.
How about cacao extract as supplement, does that contain heavy metals too?
I ate the whole darn bar last night and half a bar tonight. 😢 it’s difficult if not possible to just nibble
What about the organic Nativas Brand? I make my own hot chocolate using 100% cacao.
Great video!! I am a chocolate lover and would like to know how much chocolate you recommend to have in one day. I also have a square or two with coffee, but have several coffees a day.
Until recently, I was regularly buying a 1kg tub of Raw Organic Cacao powder on Amazon, but then I heard about this heavy metal contamination, and that stopped me dead in my tracks.
Presumably, there is no published info on a product like that?
What is the connection between chocolate and migraines? Can anything help so a person can eat chocolate??
Does it have to be a beverage? like hot chocolate or can it be a piece of 90% cacao chocolate? and does it have to be hot chocolate or can it be cold?
My fear with adopting a diet with nutrients that "recruit" stem cells as cacao's polyphenols do, is that in the long period it will reduce the amount of stem cells.
But i am ignorant on this subject i really don't know if this is something that could realistically happen.
Would stem cells regenerate as they get used by the body?
Or is there a limited number of stem cells and once they're gone they can't regenerate?
Would a daily intake of cacao deplenish stem cells permanently? Or even just temporarely?
Sorry if i bother. I ask because i'm currently consuming 30g of cacao daily (i'm addicted it's too good), so after this video i'm a bit worried about stem cells.
I would appreciate any information i would really like to know more.
Thank you for your videos they are always very useful!
how about if someone has cancer. will this kakao makes the cancer worse since it will increase stem cell production?
If certain foods like chocolate stimulate the good stem cells in the body, could it also stimulate the stem cells of cancer that got left behind after chemo and radiation?
So how to access whether the dark choc contains heavy metal?
Is Lindt 90% good
How does this translate to someone who just drinks hot water with cacao powder in it?
Problem is all these chocolate bars are from USA. So expensive to ship to the UK, cost per bar is about £11. Are there any brands in the UK that are safe?
I think it’s unlikely that a consumer report from a few years ago specifying chocolates with low levels of lead and cadmium will still be accurate today.
In fact, those levels may not have even been consistent back then if you had tested different batches of the same brand, same bar.
How about coco powderin terms of heavy metal?
Ok, so how much to digest daily???
Can we eat dark chocolate straight away without putting into water? Does it still has the same benefit? Anyone can help answer me?
Is there a safe cacao or dark choc? or completely don't eat
What about the high amount of oxalate? How to minimize that?
How about cocoa powder. In coffee? 1 teaspoon?
What about cacao powdered?
Dr. Li, have you come across any research regarding the levels of oxalates in dark chocolate and, if so, is there enough to be concerned about?
Thank you for the clarification, but what about Raw Cacao. Every day, I mix 1 table of raw cacao powder with smoothie.
Is it safe to use? I chose a single source, Non GMO , & organic ? Please comment on that? Thank you
It is great..for your brain too.
Cuál es el chocolate
My neighbor who is a 12 year breast cancer survivor has a piece of dark chocolate with a small glass of red wine after dinner. She says it's the best part of her day. She eats the 72% Hu, so I'll let her know your recommended chocolates. Thank you.
Hu tests high in metals unfortunately
Oh no. I used to buy Hu because the info showed where it came from, etc. I thought it was extremely healthy, though a bit expensive. A few years ago I saw a chart of dark chocolate with the most lead. Hu was at the top! I had about 4 bars left in the box I bought and tossed them! Your friend needs to stop eating Hu dark chocolate! Mast and Taza were on the list with the lowest. I'd never heard of them. Ghirardelli 72% and higher was also lower in lead. It's not organic though. I had to fight myself to buy non-organic, but figured it's better than more lead. Taza and Mast are on Amazon, but kind of expensive. I didn't want to spend a lot for something I may not like. Especially since I had tossed about $20 in Hu chocolate.
Maybe the body kept reserves in the bone marrow for good reasons. Depleting them from bone marrow may be asking for other issues downstream. Perhaps one shouldn't waste them.
Dr. William why Don,t You recommand Chorella and Spirulina at the Same Time to get rid of the Havy Metals? Once in a half year I help myself to get rid of That stuf out of my Body. Also to mention That I saw My Arsenicum Levels getting more and more on a high rate. Then Thanks to this Info Channel an other Dokter told to get rid of That, eat blau pflums. I Did and It worked in 2 mounths I was out the danger Zone, Back to normal Levels again.
CAN IT CALL OUT TOO MUCH AND WE RUN OUT?
