This from Consumer Reports - the bold emphasis is mine:
"Treat chocolate as a treat. A single ounce of even one of the chocolates with the highest cadmium and lead levels in CR’s tests is unlikely to cause any immediate harm. The risk comes with frequent consumption over time. Heavy metals are also in certain other foods, including many that are more nutritious and important to eat as a regular parts of a healthy diet, such as carrots, sweet potatoes, and spinach. So it’s best to eat dark chocolate only occasionally. “Having a serving a few days a week, especially with a product that has lower levels, means you can eat dark chocolate without worrying unduly,” says CR’s Tunde Akinleye, who oversaw the chocolate tests."
So to answer your question, Holly:
No, I won't stop eating dark chocolate, but but the heavy metal content will probably cross my mind so I'll likely indulge a little less often.
Speaking of heavy metal, you've been to at least one heavy metal concert.
