Just buy trusted brands and don't worry about this shit.

why do americans get scared about everything?
>>
>>76730355
Low test.

Anyway, I just eat meat, I can't stand shakes.
>>
>>76730322
one of the most misleading and disingenuous studies ive ever seen, regular whey protein powder is completely fine yet they're being lumped in with mass gainers and plant based garbage for clickbait

we aren't scared of donating our baby foreskins to the pharma industry who then sells them for $400

What's Consumer Reports' game? Do they just fearmonger to get people to subscribe to get more worried for no reason? Their shit seems so suspicious. Like wtf is "our level of concern". Also using percentages instead of just saying it's 10x their limit just so they can say A THOUSAND PERCENT.

Bunch of retards IMO.
>>
>>76730428
funniest thing is that ON (the only regular whey powder they tested) even passed their ludicrously strict test
>>
>>76730338

the serving is too little, way too little for an adult male who lifts.

Protein powder is super suboptimal
I have no idea why retards buy the stuff

Why?

Don't euros get scared of being racist if they dont allow Muhammad to fuck their wives and daughters? And mountain dew
>>
>>76730859
No, because I am not racist neither am I Islamophobic. We live in a modern pluralist society and I celebrate that fact. Hate will not divide us, as much as you want it to.

Kek sure thing, Hans. Don't forget to wash the bedding after ol Bashir and his boys are done with your woman

>>76730851
Hits your liver too fast for it to process all of it and fucks up your hormones (plummets test, increases cortisol which in turn lowers test more)

You have to add fat and fiber and whole grains to a protein shake that you then have to drink slowly to have any chance at it benefitting you overall

You could just eat a meal of real food instead with a real protein source and none of those negative effects happen

Is dymatize safe?

It's the same for the EU, most protein powders are toxic
>>
>>76730369
Lol
>>
>>76730322
You know this is an activist group right? They're not scientists or academics, they're a bunch of literal political tools pushing donor agendas.
>>
>>76730957
>plummets test, increases cortisol which in turn lowers test more
Literally none of this is true & you can't prove it.

its over

It seems like the truly awful shit is the plant based ones. I don't use that shit to begin with, but it's nice to keep in mind.

They do reports, for consumers.

You fuckin cunt.

>get people to subscribe
No ads or paywall or anything bro

>>76730957
except it’s more bioavailable than pretty much anything else

>>76735160
this study is disingenuous and sensational, they obviously have an agenda
>>
>>76735382
>disingenuous and sensational
why are you emotional, talking like it's some twitter post about your favorite celebrity where they said something take out of context.

They tested some powder for lead, and found higher levels in some.

Did you also have this reaction when you found out about mercury in certain fish?
>>
>>76735469
Because these retards get the majority of their protein from powders and have spent 1000s of dollars on these powders. They take it as a personal insult when studies show they are junk or top bodybuilders and athletes tell kids to just eat food and stop buying these junk powders.
>>
>>76735469
your "study" sucks retard
>>
>>76735509
but the study showed that whey protein powders are fine, even with the absurdly strict level of concern
>>
>>76735509
I'm not gonna quit protein powders, but I at least know which brands are the least toxic.

It's the same thing with fish, making educated choices is the right thing so you're not eating swordfish and shark meat or even tuna all the time.

>>76735804
it's not my study, what "sucks" about it?
>>
>>76735816
>it's not my study, what "sucks" about it?
they chose the most insane strict level of concern possible so they could scare people and then just tested a bunch of plant based shit and mass gainers. the only regular protein powders they tested were fine
>>
>>76735899
>they chose the most insane strict level of concern possible so they could scare people
I don't know about you but I'm trying to minimize shit like heavy metals and microplastics and forever chemicals in my food. It's probably never gonna be 0, but as close to 0 as possible is good enough for me.

>and then just tested a bunch of plant based shit and mass gainers. the only regular protein powders they tested were fine
so what's the problem
>>
>>76730322
break it down based on plant-based and dairy
>>
>>76735924
>what's the problem
It throws shade on protein powders as a whole, you have to make those distinctions yourself. Also, are you aware consumer report is basically an activist group with political doners? This shit isn't altruist and were it anyone else offering up their research results they'd have to put a huge fucking asterisk on the whole fucking thing and declare that it was research paid for by people who stand to make a profit by taking protein powders down a peg.
>>
>>76735924
>so what's the problem
them presenting it as a general problem with protein powder

What about nutricost? NSP? Levels? Etc? Plenty of brands not on there.
>>
>>76735975
>a general problem with protein powder
they tested all sorts of powders and shakes.

Don't you want to know which slop to avoid?
>>
>>76735981
they barely tested any of the ones that are most used, whey powders
>>
>>76735978
You would get more phytoestrogens from a head of broccoli you schizo. The onions lecithin is only an emulsifier. It's such a small amount that worrying about it makes you a retarded pussy.
