There’s no reason to panic if you’ve been using any of the products we tested, or if you take protein supplements generally. Many of these powders are fine to have occasionally...

I found this quote hilarious, I don't know anyone who takes protein powder occasionally. They are either taking it mosts days out of the week or not at all in my experience.

I am one of that group. I only take it if I went to the gym and have a surplus in my daily calories. Doesn't happen more frequently than once per week. Overdoing protein supplements can mess up your body, too.

you know...we can look back and make fun of the romans for using lead water pipes even though they knew lead caused all sorts of health problems.

then...to this day not only do we still have lead water pipes, we decided to spray it on all of our food.

it's a wonder we survived as a species at all tbh

Wow! That's awful. Funny how DDT was seen as an "improvement."
