Interesting article about possible / actual contaminants in your premixed protein powder... Do you use one of the powders listed? If yes, does this article change your mind about continuing to use it? Would you consider mixing up your own?

    The article is 8 years old so not really concerned

    I'm going to die somehow anyway. I may as well choose the flavour of protein powder I prefer.
    Anyway heavy metals are in fish too, or so they say. I just lived 5 years eating 250g tuna a day every single day and it did not kill me. So I don't really believe any of this stuff.
