--- Quote ---Plant-based protein powders were the most contaminated, containing five times more
cadmium than their whey-based counterparts. Even the flavor of protein powder played a
significant role in contamination levels. Chocolate protein powders, for instance, were
found to have a staggering 110 times more cadmium [1] than vanilla-flavored varieties.
Meanwhile, whey-based protein powders generally showed much lower contaminant
levels, highlighting the variability in product safety depending on the protein source and
flavoring

Organic not so healthy huh. I never really looked into what the term actually means but over the years I got the impression from some quarters that it's perhaps a bit of a scam term, like people thinking organic means no pesticides used which is false?

Organic farmers still use pesticides but they are "organic pesticides".
The ground they farm also usually contains pesticide residue from non-organic farming, particulalry lead arsenate which was heavily used for decades.
