Melting Chocolate

This contamination seems to appear
at some time during the
manufacturing process. The U.S.
FDA has done testing and the
levels of lead in chocolate are so
low that even if a person eats
chocolate every day, they are
unlikely to suffer any adverse
effects.
Called theobromine poisoning,
animals such as horses, dogs,
parrots and cats (especially
kittens) frequently die from the
toxicity of chocolate. This is
because animals can not metabolize
therbromine readily and it will
remain in their blood streams for
up to 20 hours.
