大家都說黑巧克力富含抗氧化物,能提升心血管健康,吃了讓人心情愉悅又能抗氧化,一直以來都是許多人的美容聖品來吃。但是,你知道市面上大部分的黑巧克力,居然都含有劇毒重金屬。
這份「消費者報告」針對許多巧克力知名大廠,像是好時(Hershey’s)、瑞士蓮(Lindt)和托尼(Tony’s Chocolonely)等熱門品牌所生產的 28 種黑巧克力進行測試顯示,發現所有抽查到的黑巧克力都含有重金屬鉛和鎘。只有 5 種分別由 Ghirardelli、ValrhonaTaza、Chocolate 和 Mast 製造的產品低於人體可接受的標準,相當於 82% 的黑巧克力都有食品安全問題。
鎘是一種存在土壤中的天然元素,有時會被可可樹的根部所吸收,最終進入可可豆;而鉛則是會透過污染過的環境進而污染到可可豆。人體若是攝取過多的鎘,會使內臟病變,而鉛則是可怕的神經毒,兩者都會造成永久性的身體損害。但專家表示,一個人需要吃大量、甚至每天吃一盎司的巧克力塊,才可能對健康構成長期的傷害。但同時,專家也警告,不斷接觸這些有毒金屬,確實會對人體健康構成威脅。
