Lead Safe Mama Tests: Bryan Johnson's Blueprint Cocoa Powder
Donation protected
March 16, 2025

Hi all!
Given we confirmed that Bryan Johnson's Blueprint Matcha tested positive for heavy metals (lab report here: https://tamararubin.com/2025/03/bryan-johnsons-blueprint-ceremonial-grade-matcha/) — many Lead Safe Mama community members have asked us to test his cocoa powder.
We have set this campaign up today to raise funds to cover the cost of testing and reporting for the product pictured here with this GoFundMe.
We will be adding more narrative details about this initiative (including links to the published lab reports once the testing has been completed) over the coming days and weeks (via updates to this campaign).
Once the campaign funds (once we reach our goal to cover the cost of testing and reporting for this product) we will close this campaign (we will turn off the donations for the campaign) and then it typically takes 2 to 4 weeks for us to get the results back from the lab and publish the results on the Lead Safe Mama website: http://www.LeadSafeMama.com
All of the articles with the lab reports for products we have tested are pinned here when the are initially published (on our website menu):
The lab reports can also be found here:
If you are interested in learning more about the community-collaborative / community-funded laboratory food testing (testing food, supplements, and cosmetics for the following toxicants: Lead, Mercury, Cadmium, & Arsenic) we are doing (through Lead Safe Mama, LLC - a unique, community collaborative, woman-owned, small business based in Portland, Oregon - a small business with a focus on childhood Lead poisoning prevention and consumer goods safety) - please check out some of our other GoFundMe campaigns (look up Tamara Rubin or Lead Safe Mama using the Search Bar in GoFundMe, and click the "environment" category).
The link below is a landing page which has links to ALL of the lab reports we have published as a result of this initiative to date — since we started doing laboratory testing of foods and supplements in March of 2024 (one year later we have just passed 300 published lab reports): https://tamararubin.com/2024/05/food-articles/
Here's a link to one of the articles about our work from Consumer Reports Magazine - an article that discusses some collaborative follow up we worked on with CR in response to some of the early food testing done by Lead Safe Mama, LLC in 2024: https://www.consumerreports.org/health/food-safety/lesser-evil-serenity-kids-cassava-puffs-high-lead-levels-a2654657249/
