Toxins in Protein Powders: A Cause for Concern
A major investigation by Consumer Reports found troubling levels of toxic heavy metals, including lead, arsenic, and cadmium, in popular protein powders.
The findings are particularly concerning for Black Americans, who are more likely to use dietary supplements for fitness and muscle recovery and already face disproportionate exposure to environmental toxins.
- More than two-thirds of the 23 bestselling protein powders and ready-to-drink shakes tested contained lead in amounts exceeding safe daily consumption levels.
- Some plant-based powders had lead levels more than ten times the threshold.
- Dairy-based and beef-based options generally tested lower, but none were free of concern.
None of the products were free of concern.
Author's summary: Toxins found in protein powders pose health risks.
