I have no idea who told you that, but they made it up. The FDA’s recommended daily limit for dietary lead is 8.8 micrograms. A single serving of one protein powder examined by Consumer Reports had 7.7 micrograms of lead, almost the maximum recommended amount, which doesn’t even include other sources of lead in your diet.
Consumer Reports has solid evidence and reasoning in their report. Lead is bad for you. Don’t eat things full of lead.
And I just checked the carrots in my fridge: no lead warning on them.
Some recent article said they had way over the limit but was comparing it the way i mentioned. That was the specific article i was talking about. I was not aware of consumer reports follow up on this. Doesnt seem like produce requires the label so again was wrong. My apologies.
Given how much lead is in protein supplements, it’s probably better for you than a protein bar!
That report was skewd because it was comparing vs california “safe levels” which are 1000x lower than well known established safe levels.
Example: A carrat in california has the same label.

Same, and I bought them in California.

Thank you for being open to looking at the evidence!
It has a lot of saturated fats though, which isn’t good to eat too much of
True, but saturated fat is probably better for you than lead!
Yeah that might be true lol
