The Clean Label Project recently tested 134 of America's best selling animal-derived and plant-based protein powders for heavy metals, pesticides, BPA/BPS, residual solvents, mycotoxins, melamine and antibiotics residues.
Many popular protein powders had significant levels of contaminants and overall, plant-based protein powders had higher levels of contaminants than those made from animal sources, containing on average twice as much lead and measurably higher amounts of other contaminants.
Based on these findings, two servings per day of protein powder could put you way above what is considered an "acceptable level" of contaminant exposure.
Another surprise, organic protein powders had higher levels of heavy metals, on average, than non-organic. What!?
To see the full results of this shocking study, the worst offenders, and what I recommend, check out today's post.
To your life and health!
