Protein Powders and Shakes Contain High Levels of Lead

[Apollo Creed]

how is it a waste of money? for like $30 you can get like 30 servings of not only proteins....but other additives like amino acides/creatines etc.......


its way more expensive to not supplement its simple math.

nikkas be saying anything I swear

These are good for other reasons but not really for muscle building. I don’t know if you were aware of that, but thought I’d point it out. They’re incomplete protein so your body doesn’t use them for much muscle building

I don’t use them to build. I’m at the size I want to be.

Use them for maintenance if anything.

And AI says differently:

Are peptides good for muscle growth?

Both are valid points.

I'm at a good weight, 5'10, 210 lbs - I don't need to build anymore mass. I'm pretty solid on muscle except I need to trim the waste/stomach.

I'll switch to the vital stuff and if anything - slim down 10 lbs.

I bet if they did the same testing for shyt people buy at the grocery store on the reg, a lot of that prolly got more lead and heavy metal contamination than these powders.

But those items would be recalled by the FDA for that reason.

As was the case here.

TBC Distribution Corporate Recalls Lucky Foods Brand Cinnamon Powder Because of Possible Health Risk

TBC Distribution Corporate of Brooklyn, NY is recalling Lucky Foods brand Cinnamon Powder 40g, best before date 15.09.2027 because it has the potential to be contaminated with elevated levels of lead. Short

Protein powders in this study, or future ones likely will remain on the shelves

Wifey takes collagen....I thought that was for like skin and hair

Yes it is good for that as well. Your body uses collagen so supplementing it is good just not for muscle synthesis

Long term lead poisoning in dudebro circles actually tracks as a disturbing likelihood

If people stopped eating bullshyt they wouldn't need protein powder

Wtf is this nonsense

You've read all of my comments about the topic in this thread.

Like I said, and have written here before, I made a choice to avoid those things. Didnt feel it was worth it for what I was trying to accomplish.

Its cool if you think otherwise, for your body and your fitness goals.

It's easier to swallow

[O.T.I.S.]

Its ignorant comments and takes like these that let the companies get away with doing the shyt that they're doing. Also roach shyt and lead are two different things.

TF you want me to do or say about it nikka

If they have never wrote the article you would’ve never known either.

And no shyt it’s different.. maybe read the rest of the article where it says that the amount isn’t even harmful. And It’s most likely not even the shyt I take, so what you want me to say. “I’ll never use any protein period”?
