lead-based society
Two plant-based protein powders contained enough lead that our experts advise against consuming them. Naked Nutrition’s Mass Gainer powder contained 7.7 micrograms of lead per serving, which is roughly 1,570 percent of CR’s level of concern for the heavy metal. One serving of Huel’s Black Edition powder contained 6.3 micrograms of lead, or about 1,290 percent of CR’s daily lead limit.
Two other powders contained lead between 400 and 600 percent of CR’s level of concern: Garden of Life’s Sport Organic Plant-Based Protein and Momentous’ 100% Plant Protein. Consumers should limit these to once a week, Akinleye says. (See company responses below.)
How does this happen? Lead in the groundwater the plants absorb or is this part of the protein isolation process?
most likely cheapest plants/soil like agrofeed, i struggle to imagine why would you need heavy metals for cleaning process.
or they could use some old piping and drying a ton of water, now that i think about it
Yeah, I thought maybe some shitty solder on pipes, if not low quality plant material.
