A third of chocolate products are high in heavy metals

Hershey and Nestle are addressing the problem by slowly replacing chocolate with brown-dyed wax so that no one realizes that there is no longer any actual chocolate in the products. Cadmium intake is down 15%, and profits are up 42%. That's win/win.

Correction: It's a brown "waxlike substance". Paraffin was too costly.
