Recent investigations and reports, including a thorough study by Consumer Reports, have revealed alarming levels of lead and other heavy metals in several popular protein powders and shakes. The findings indicate that many of these products, often viewed as health supplements, contain unsafe amounts of lead, prompting consumer safety advocates to urge the FDA to establish enforceable limits on heavy metals. This revelation raises serious questions about the safety of widely consumed protein supplements and highlights the need for greater scrutiny in the industry.
