Is cadmium and arsenic specifically found in cocoa powder? Or in all cocoa products like chocolate bars, cocoa butter etc.?
Chocolate has a lot of cadmium, lead and aluminium.
A good strategy is to only buy cocoa from Africa. The soil there is not contaminated with cadmium as much as the Southern American cocoa.
"Average cadmium concentrations reported in the literature vary from 0.02 to 0.51 mg/kg for African beans, while average concentrations in Central and South American cacao are reported to range from 0.10 to 12.0 mg/kg."

Dark chocolate does not have a lot of cadmium. But caocao powder does. According to a google search
So maybe that’s the acne link ?It's the same product, so has the same contaminants.
The worst cadmium chocolates are the organic premium brands, as they buy exclusively from "premium" regions in Latin America. Probably regions with a lot of nutrient-dense earth.
Lead and Cadmium Could Be in Your Dark Chocolate - Consumer Reports
Consumer Reports tested 28 dark chocolate bars and found cadmium and lead in all of them. Here's how to limit your heavy metal exposure.www.consumerreports.org

Yes, as I posted a few posts above you, it could be fluoride or bromide from fumigation. You could try organic cacao powder and see if that triggers the acne. Most cocoa beans are fumigated with sulfuryl fluoride or methyl bromide. Look up halogenoderma, fluoroderma, and bromoderma for examples of what halogens can do to your skin as the body pushes them out.Any ideas on the mechanism?
I am using organic caocao and still acneYes, as I posted a few posts above you, it could be fluoride or bromide from fumigation. You could try organic cacao powder and see if that triggers the acne.

Copper actually binds to fluoride and reduces acne. This could be why heavy metals such as cadmium are linked to acne. Because copper is needed to detox heavy metals so fluoride using up that copper leaves less to deal with heavy metals, leaving more heavy metals. Higher levels of copper in the blood in those cases only represents the body using copper, not total stores in the body. There was a study on heart disease patients and the ones that died more had higher levels of copper in the blood but lower levels in the tissues.
I stopped eating my lovely chocolate for the same and only reason.the higher the fat or cacao content of chocolate is the higher the affinity for toxins to bind to the fat thats the reason why i completely stopped eating dark chocolate 85 % +, because its full of cadmium, aluminium, arsenic and not forget to mention MOSH and MOAH . bye bye lovely chocolate
