Here's an excellent blog post about the recent Consumer Report that checked a bunch of different protein powders on the market, and also a response from one of the major producers of protein powders.

Notice the levels of those heavy metals in every day foods we eat. Surprise how stats can be made to look any way anyone wants them to.

I actually lost alot of respect for Consumer Reports over this. It doesn't bode well for everything else they review IMO.

Wow! The ON response was very informative! It's always best to dig for more research on these sorts of studies. Arsenic and Lead in my food!? YIKES! I learned something new today! Thank you!

That was a really good article. Great to read a writer who is practical in their approach.
