Vegan protein powders are not only useless, they are also dangerous https://www.consumerreports.org/lead/protein-powders-and-shakes-contain-high-levels-of-lead-a4206364640/

>The lead levels in plant-based products were, on average, nine times the amount found in those made with dairy proteins like whey, and twice as great as beef-based ones. Dairy-based protein powders and shakes generally had the lowest amounts of lead, but half of the products we tested still had high enough levels of contamination that CR’s experts advise against daily use.
Interesting.
Also
>beef-based protein shakes

Regardless, just eat real food instead of this processed slop.

>>76760825
Can someone explain to me how lead would even end up in protein shakes? At what step of the production does fucking lead get involved?
>>
>>76760825
Whenever you see these articles that talk in such a broad way, "lead found in protein powders!!", please do keep in mind they are referring to USA products only.
EU based protein powders (all food really) get so much testing and controls both from nation and EU entities that it's impossible for them to fill them with shit.

That said, from the article:
>That said, because most people don’t actually need protein supplements—nutrition experts say the average American already gets plenty—it makes sense to ask whether these products are worth the added exposure.
lol lmao
most Americans that use protein powder absolutely do not get enough protein, unless they mean 40 grams is enough. What kind of selection bias even is this? Where's the proof that the same people eating so much fast food or so much red meat they get 100g a day, are the same buying protein powder? Kill journos. Kill experts.

>>76760825
Yeah sorry i'm not listening to experts such as
>Cohen
>Akinleye

Consumers often assume supplements deliver health benefits without risks, says Pieter Cohen, MD, an associate professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School. “But that’s not true.”

CR’s experts agree. “For many people, there’s more to lose than you’re gaining,” says Akinleye, who suggests that regular users of protein supplements consider reducing their consumption.

Id guess it’s similar to how mercury ends up in tuna but the opposite, a small amount that may naturally just be in dairy products such as milk ends up as a more than insignificant amount when all they whey is reduced to a powder form from liquid form.

If there is, for example just making up numbers here, 1mg per gallon of milk, after it’s processed and separated into whey there’s now 2mg per gallon of whey. Then when the water is evaporated or cooked off of the whey and it takes five gallons of whey to make 1 scoop of protein powder, it concentrates the amount of lead to 5mg per scoop of dry whey protein.

Either that or actual contaminants in the processing process from machinery packaging human error etc.

how do you know so much about my balls, gayboy

>>76761917
Huh, never thought about it that whey, that would actually make sense
>>
>>76760825
i stopped giving a shit about hitting the "protein target" and just ate my usual diet with no protein supplementation. Making the same gains and improving just like before. Protein maximization is a meme
