Protein supplements are wildly popular, but CR’s tests of 23 products found that more than two-thirds of them contain more lead in a single serving than our experts say is safe to have in a day.
Much has changed since Consumer Reports first tested protein powders and shakes. Over the past 15 years, Americans’ obsession with protein has transformed what had been a niche product into the centerpiece of a multibillion-dollar wellness craze, driving booming supplement sales and spawning a new crop of protein-fortified foods that now saturate supermarket shelves and social media feeds.
Yet for all the industry’s growth and rebranding, one thing hasn’t changed: Protein powders still carry troubling levels of toxic heavy metals, according to a new Consumer Reports investigation. Our latest tests of 23 protein powders and ready-to-drink shakes from popular brands found that heavy metal contamination has become even more common among protein products, raising concerns that the risks are growing right alongside the industry itself.
For more than two-thirds of the products we analyzed, a single serving contained more lead than CR’s food safety experts say is safe to consume in a day—some by more than 10 times.
“It’s concerning that these results are even worse than the last time we tested,” said Tunde Akinleye, the CR food safety researcher who led the testing project. This time, in addition to the average level of lead being higher than what we found 15 years ago, there were also fewer products with undetectable amounts of it. The outliers also packed a heavier punch. Naked Nutrition’s Vegan Mass Gainer powder, the product with the highest lead levels, had nearly twice as much lead per serving as the worst product we analyzed in 2010.

Yikes!
-
Unregulated industries….
Is this true for non American proteins?
-
The lead comes from china sourced raws I would guess
-
Glad I barely take any of this crap these days anymore
-
OMG,I shot myself full of lead!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111111111111111 :o
-
Is there a list of the bad products?
The lead comes from china sourced raws I would guess
I wonder if this is true? Might not be. For example whey is often US produced right? The worst product was plant based too.
-
Jesus Christ. Everything in the world is poison apparently. Can't consume anything I guess.
I want to see the list.
I just started taking protein powder again about 6 months ago.
All I use is Beverly and Ryse.
-
Doesn't most whey come from China?
Plant protein powder is the worst offender. Jokes on the woke.
-
TBH I never take protein powder, I used to, not anymore
-
Plant-based and RTDs always seem to be the main culprits

I saw a video a long time ago on how these were made and immediately stopped drinking them. There is (imo) hardly any quality protein in them at all once the process is finished due to the heat. Maybe they did 30 grams in there at the beginning but after packing it has been degraded through the heat process too much.

What do you have for breakfast , assumimg you have time to prepare it yourself
WooooSSHHHHHHHHHHHHhh

People still use protein powders?

Sounds right. Then combine that with sitting inside that plastic-lined container. Gross.

Makes total sense. Refrigerators used to be made with lead.
By the way, he said ‘01. Vid title is wrong. Stocking up on expired ISS Research whey concentrate as we speak!

Guy I knew was heavily sponsored by supp companies and he was on FB talking about his pre-contest diet
I asked what supps he was using during prep and he said none
I pMd him and advised him to take it down
Fucks sake, best he looks is when hes not using the shit they send him.
-
I stopped using them a while back.....food doesn`t appeal to me in the early morning......never did, so I have stared using them again as my digestive system after taking a turn for the better is now screwed again.
Fuck a bit of lead.......I`ve been through the mill.......lead and Mercury give you balls. ;D

Nobody needs protein powders. Just eat real food for fucks sake.

I just made use of our socialized health care here, for once. I asked to get medical grade MRPs prescribed to me LOL. I still have to pay a little but very discounted. Nutritionally complete with all the vitamins and minerals and high protein. Nothing wrong with liquid nutrition, it is food, and these specifically being medical food used in hospitals they probably contain what they promise.

Protein powder is less expensive than any other source of protein.

Hazbin told me he dieted on nothing but protein powder for a show and didn’t see a difference in quality. I’ve been getting 80% of my protein from powder for years and my findings are the same (on a much smaller, less impressive scale of course).

Protein shakes are also gentler on your teeth and gums. Just rinse with water afterwards, followed by mouthwash. When you eat foods like tuna or chicken, bits often get stuck between your teeth and can be hard to remove. Good dental hygiene is crucial for overall health — I once read about a bodybuilder who died from infected root canals. The infection spread, causing organ failure, and the true cause was only discovered after his death.

Over consumption of protein does nothing to build muscle unless you are on gear which if you are anything works. It's like saying drinking a huge amount of water will build huge muscles because muscles are mostly water.

Probably safer and more healthy to go to McDonalds twice a week for a quarterpounder or a bigmac. European McDonalds I mean.
The American market ones have food with 3 x as much additives etc

There's a convenience factor with powders.

Agreed. It’s all about convenience. I already cook twice a day for breakfast and dinner. And then yesterday’s dinner is lunch. I ain’t cooking at work. That’s where a 3:30pm protein shake with some berries and healthy fats comes in handy. Eating gets old after decades of eating a lot. I drink a whey isolate with 5 or so ingredients. I’ve had heavy metals tested and none of them are high.

Same with creatine products.

Same here, with the tests.
I eat a lot of salmon, which may have small amounts of mercury, etc, but this stuff bioaccumulates, so I got tested.
There is no easier and more convenient way to get more than 50g of protein than powders. Like you said, just buy a good one.
-
I actually read the article now :D
Getbiggers generally distrust doctors and authorities. Do you trust their opinion that almost no one should take a concentrated protein product or even a protein enriched food and that most eat too much protein even just through a regular diet? They will also tell you to ditch the red meat preferably. Vegetarians don't need to consider protein intake either according to them.
One thing the article sort of recommended though that was interesting. Old folks may need more, 1.3 grams per kilo instead of .8. I've mentioned it here before, you get an anabolic resistance when older. For example old people need 40 grams of protein for a certain level of protein synthesis compared to 20 grams when young.
And avoid Chinese peas.

The first question they ask me when I walk into the protein section of Vitamin Shoppe
(https://y.yarn.co/c86dc6d2-c2e9-4f56-8795-f93ab7863485_text.gif)
-
At this point, I don't care if the lead turns me into a #2 pencil. I just can't eat a bunch of eggs, tuna, etc... anymore. Shakes taste good, are cheap, and easy to make. Also most of the bigger brands came out reasonably fine, with smaller risk.

Of course but they only work 5 days a week. Damn labor laws.

It’s still insane to me that we just spiked our gasoline with lead, dispersing it into the air for all to enjoy :-X

IroNat's protein shake:
8-12 oz whole milk
2-3 tbls natural peanut butter (just peanuts and salt)
1 tbls unsweetened cocoa powder (optional)
1 tbls Psyllium fiber
1/4 tsp xanthum gum (thickener)
3 slightly softboiled eggs (optional)
3 ice cubes
Blend and drink immediately.

I like the idea of the soft boiled eggs to make them bioavailable but I haven't tried it 8)
I like my shakes as thin and light as possible but lecithin might be used as a thickener for some possible brain and liver benefits from the choline in it.
Recently I mixed some powders with soy milk since the phytoestrogens bind to estrogen receptor beta which can have anabolic effects. Estrogen isn't all bad :D
"Soy phytoestrogens preferentially bind to estrogen receptor beta, which has a different function than estrogen receptor alpha. This selective binding is significant because it allows soy isoflavones to act differently than the body's own estrogen, often with beneficial effects like promoting tissue repair or having anti-estrogenic effects in certain tissues (e.g. breast tissue)."

There is more lead in whole foods than protein powder. The threshold limit the study used to toxicity levels was also ridiculously low. Lead toxicity is magnitudes higher. The media just jumped all over the bs study and sheep eat it up.

Is this a fact or just something you suppose? Also I suspect "additives" are like "chemicals " to the average person, always bad but in reality maybe not. I know for example the meat sourcing differs but shouldn't the products be pretty standardized all over the world for McDonald's items? I only recently tasted KFC for the first time; if I went to the US should I expect to notice a difference in the chicken? :D

There is no safe level of lead exposure. Personally, I actively try to minimize my consumption of lead because I value my health. Different strokes for different folks, though.

Van B, for such a bright guy you’re awfully gullible ;D
I’m pretty sure international chains tailor their offerings to suit the local markets. Coca Cola tastes different in different countries, I’d imagine it’s the same for a Big Mac. P

I think that the ones that are PLANT protein, with lead is coming from the earth, has naturally more lead in them than other proteins. Will it change much. Not really. But already I am getting 'advertisements' of lawyers looking to sue companies that have higher 'lead' in the products.
-
Aresenate of Lead was a common (and very effective) pesticide used by farms decades ago in the U.S.
It's residue is still present in soil, even in organically grown foods.
It's probably still in use in places like China and South America.

I only eat 1-2x a day. Not a protein shake in either meal and no cooking involved.
I hate cooking and the aftermath of cleaning. I find nothing enjoyable about cooking.

It's a pretty well known fact
I don't travel much so I don't know which is why I asked.
But is it a fact that the produce and meat is "cleaner" in say eastern Europe? In China the McD might be pretty toxic, I mean the pea protein is full of lead. I see some 'conservatives' bragging how American meat is the best in the world, saw Tucker hawk some meat brand saying that, none of that foreign crap for him thanks. I know some say meat in the US is "full of hormones" and antibiotics but I don't know how factual that is. I know some of the hormone concerns are fiction, like the claim that girls go into puberty too early due to the hormones in milk.
But maybe you guys are mostly talking about the taste.

Not necessarily. I do prepare meals but it does not really involve cooking.
I’ve never been a “foodie,” or whatever word people use these days; never had a love affair with food. Very hard for me to understand. I eat more for health and function than I do taste or enjoyment. It always annoys me when people romanticize food by calling food/dish “comfort food” or “sexy.” Can’t stand when chefs call food “sexy.” Get a grip.

Never get hungry and fantasize about food? Try this product called MK-677, it's nuts for appetite and for me increases enjoyment of food. I do enjoy food otherwise as well though appetite hasn't always been great from a muscle gaining perspective. With the MK it felt like I didn't quite know what food enjoyment was before. I lost my sense of taste for a few months and it felt like a huge loss.
Anyone else dream of food when hungry or when blood sugar dips? I often have nightmares where I'm trying to order food at a fast food place and I somehow can't manage to place my order :D
Regarding the lead, someone just gave me a tub of vegan pea and rice protein but I don't know if will drink it as the taste isn't great and somehow in my mind plant protein is useless.

I get hungry and desire food to alleviate hunger pains, but I really don't fantasize about any type of food in that moment. I just want to eat something. Whenever Rory says "where should we go for food?" my usual response is "it dont matter to me." Its one of the areas of my life where I dont put much emphasis on.

I’d rather not stick a drug in my body. Enjoying food is not that important to me.
I have not eaten since Wednesday night 7:00pm. About to have my first meal now, Thursday at 8:00pm.
