Consumer Reports Investigation
A major investigation by Consumer Reports found high levels of toxic heavy metals, including lead, arsenic, and cadmium, in popular protein powders.
The study tested 23 bestselling protein powders and ready-to-drink shakes, revealing that over two-thirds contained lead in amounts exceeding safe daily consumption levels.
- Some plant-based powders had lead levels over ten times the threshold.
- Dairy-based and beef-based options generally tested lower, but none were free of concern.
Black Americans, who are more likely to use dietary supplements for fitness and muscle recovery, face heightened concern due to disproportionate exposure to environmental toxins.
