Yes, total bullshit. The entire cholesterol hypothesis, including that LDL is "bad," has been thoroughly debunked because there is no actual science supporting it.
yes it is a shame when dogma like that raises it's ugly head... but then it may indicate that an A.I. may have had more than a little part to play in this presentation?
Hmmm... or are some people emulating A.I. behavior?
I am wondering now just how the information here is vetted. IMO, this article was not worthy of presentation on the FLCCC site. It creates a question of credibility.
Besides that inane reference to the importance of cholesterol, the underlying study seems highly conflicted with Mars' and Pfizer's hands in the pot.

There may be an A.I. looking for communities like ours where they can spread all manner of medical dogma and doctrine so as to keep us indoctrinated or to re-indoctrinate any who have managed to de-calcify their brains?

Oops, there is no such thing as "unhealthy saturated fat." The only unhealthy fat is polyunsaturated. No reputable science supports the "unhealthy saturated fat" scam, which stems from studies that were debunked decades ago. And think about it, is it likely that saturated fat, which humans EVOLVED eating for hundreds of thousands of years, would be bad for us? This would be an impossible scenario, yet is hawked abroad by doctors, unfortunately including you.
No kidding! It's as if every medical professional's store of knowledge solidifies into stone the day they graduate. And nutritionists - I won't even go there.
The saturated fat, cholesterol hypothesis has been discredited for years now. The low salt recommendations have been shown to be more nonsense, appilcable only to a small minority who have a genetic sensitifity to salt. For the rest of us, lowering salt intake to levels recommended, have resulted in increased all cause mortality. At some point I seem to remember that the FDA food pyramid clowns, declared that cheereos were a healthy breakfast food.
Oh, it's even worse now. The geniuses at Harvard/Tufts, in cooperation with American cereal corporations, recently announced that eggs were bad for you while sweetened breakfast cereals were good for you. All the food had a "rating," and eggs rated way lower than sweetened puffed processed grain.
My first thought: Who paid for this study? Checking into ?The COSMOS trial -Cocoa Via--what do I find, at the very end, in very small print? Mars, Inc. 2023. Couldn't possibly be any conflict of interest.
I'm a healthy 50+ year old and eat chocolate of all kinds whenever I want. I live by moderation for the most part, and lean more toward dark chocolate. Glad to see this post and have often joked, "Does chocolate exist for me or do I exist for chocolate?!?" That's how good we get along. Coffee a close second.
Also contains lead. Consumer Reports had an evaluation of major brands. My favorite WAS Hu dark chocolate, which had some of the highest levels of lead and cadmium.
Cacao plants concentrate lead, especially older trees, and manufacturing equipment ( unfortunately as used in small fair trade operations), uses brass, which had lead in it.
We buy local chocolate from relatively young orchard with stainless steel machines for processing.
Heavy Metal! *cue Bill & Ted air guitar solo clip*
Thanks - to my surprise, they actually have, out of 6 or so of the brands I might buy, two, and the more expensive, rare one has a red box for cadmium ^^
Alas they don't have my favorite ones there - but cool that they have _something_
check out Consumer Labs. They study this and test out various brands. There is a membership fee to access their independent test results and recommendations. I've been a member for the last 3 years or so and find it well worth it. (My only criticism is they seem to be pro-vaccination and pro-mask, but I just ignore that part of their site. I did use their test results to find the best at-home Covid test kits though.) I've no affiliation with them.
I am wondering now just how the information here is vetted. IMO, this article was not worthy of presentation on the FLCCC site. It creates a question of credibility.

For information about lead and cadmium in dark chocolate, see Consumer Reports listings from a couple months ago, or check out Lead Free Momma website. Some of the organic brands were extremely high in both lead and cadmium
Oh no! 😳I eat mostly Hu dark chocolate. I thought they were some of the healthiest. I have no heavy metals. I’ve tested them a few times. Not even mercury and for years I ate lots of raw sushi, especially tuna. I guess all the other healthy things I’m doing, including infrared saunas, exercise and taking supplements, eating an anti-inflammatory diet are keeping my detox pathways in good shape.
High Cholesterol leads to stroke? I’m not sure about that, but do know that low cholesterol (It’s in every cell of our body) leads to dementia and low steroid hormone levels.
I eat a little coconut sugar sweetened dark chocolate or raw dark chocolate, every day. Love chocolate!
Most of the organic non GMO chocolates I used to consume - are now off-limits due to the problem of chocolate ingredients derived from soil that contain high levels of these elements (Cadmium)…
There are areas in the world with lower levels of cadmium in soil - that’s the chocolate you want to identify and eat.
investigation by Consumer Reports found that dark chocolate bars may contain two heavy metals that are linked to a wide range of health problems.
EXCERPT from NY POST from Dec 2022-
The organization tested 28 dark chocolate bars from the following brands: Hershey’s, Ghirardelli, Lindt, Dove, Godiva, Trader Joe’s, Hu, Mast, Taza Chocolate, Valrhona, Beyond Good, Equal Exchange, Scharffen Berger, Alter Eco, Pascha, Tony’s, Lily’s, Chocolove, Endangered Species, Theo and Green & Black’s.
Lead specifically is well known to be dangerous to humans, with long-term exposure causing memory loss, high blood pressure, abdominal pain and low moods in adults, and brain damage and central nervous system damage leading to learning and behavioral problems in children.
Even just low levels of cadmium are considered cancer-causing and have been linked to kidney cancer and fragile bones, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
It’s a shame to see your article to continue to promote the falsehood that saturated fat is somehow bad for you. It is required to be healthy. In fact it’s so important a mothers breast milk is chock full of cholesterol (fat). Low cholesterol (below 180) is much more problematic to your health than your belief that high cholesterol (over 200) is somehow bad for your health. You need to continue unlearning the lies you’ve been taught. I mean this respectfully. We need people to be healthy and they can’t be healthy till they begin learning the truth. Saturated fat is required to be healthy. You shouldn’t overdue anything so eating a pound of butter a day is still not good for you.
I just bought some organic Crio Bru cacao that is brewed like coffee. I haven’t tried it yet… would like to know if anyone at FLCCC has tried it and what they think😄
Be wary of eating too much dark chocolate, I too thought they taste good and are good for me so I swapped dark for milk chocolate, soon after I started getting dark stains on my front teeth and had to pay privately to have them removed despite having a good dental hygiene routine.
I take a tablespoon of organic cocoa powder a day in my shakes as weather as a teaspoon of chocamine in my lattes. It’s good for fat loss, health and VISION. Which is important in the sport I compete in.
I Am of a mind to to forgo chocolates and consume cocoa powder, I have never heard of chocamine until reading your comment. Please share the brands of cocoa powder and chocamine that you have chosen to use. Any reason to believe your chosen products are relatively free of heavy metals and other contaminants? Thank You, UnvaxxedAmerican
nootropicsdepot.com sells chocamine. It's supposedly a standardized cocoa extract with added theobromide. I've just kept taking it for decades and I miss the deep chocolate flavour if I run out.
As for the cocao powder I just buy organic, I assume you could email the companies and ask for an assay if you are concerned about cadmium.
"We know that there’s a link between high cholesterol and stroke risk so lowering cholesterol is a key part of any health program."
That statement causes me to be skeptical of everything in this article.

Not Functional Nutrition 😉

They say "the devil is in the details" and in science, their are a number of devils.
I stopped reading when I got to "unhealthy saturated fats". These people obviously know nothing about nutrition whatsoever.
I'm a healthy 50+ year old and eat chocolate of all kinds whenever I want. I live by moderation for the most part, and lean more toward dark chocolate. Glad to see this post and have often joked, "Does chocolate exist for me or do I exist for chocolate?!?" That's how good we get along. Coffee a close second.
Chocolate contains amounts of CADMIUM that are higher than what's typically deemed appropriate for water.
How much of a problem that is, IDK. But it would be nice if the effects of that would be looked into thoroughly by some entity or another.
Also contains lead. Consumer Reports had an evaluation of major brands. My favorite WAS Hu dark chocolate, which had some of the highest levels of lead and cadmium.
Check out Lead Safe Mama website for more info https://tamararubin.com/?s=Chocolate

https://www.asyousow.org/environmental-health/toxic-enforcement/toxic-chocolate
Over 400 products tested. High levels of heavy metals.
IDK. Eat what you want and try to be smart about it.
Heavy Metal! *cue Bill & Ted air guitar solo clip*

Alas they don't have my favorite ones there - but cool that they have _something_
gosh our favorite has been HU for the past year. Thanks for this info!
Was for us too. They've been stonewalling and gaslighting since the article came out when people ask what they're doin about it in their Facebook page
Here's a list of products and the cadmium levels they found.

Thanks, I doubt they have brands from European healthfood store brands of 100% cocoa chocolate that I'd be likely to buy, though :D
which brands? I could check... Edited to add: I don't think they reviewed any 100%. The higher the percentage, the greater the cadmium (usually).
The Covid tests are part of the psyop also. In friend of mine’s son tested positive for 2.5 months and he was not sick.

My brain doesn’t seem to be involved Because My WHOLE BODY 😆 DEMANDS I eat chocolate it seems!!😜
On a more serious note - the problem is CADMIUM levels are not being monitored with chocolate manufacturers.
Evidence of this neglect has been exposed by various groups suing the manufacturers for this health risk and forcing them to make adjustments.
