@hydroxide: The new Consumer Reports study on protein powder reminded me of this. #foodscience #foodscientist #prop65 #heavymetals #lead #leadfree #proteinpowder #supplements
NO AMOUNT OF LEAD IS GOOD. having stricter testing is not a bad thing. California is doing it right

I thought no amount of lead was safe?

Supplements are unfortunately notoriously unregulated.

There is no safe level of lead. All lead is detrimental.

“Natural” is such a ridiculous label. Lead, arsenic, cyanide, mercury, etc. are all 100% naturally occurring elements.

I appreciate prop 65 honestly. While I won't freak out and throw away my current tub of protein powder it's enough for me to consider a different protein powder next time

I think it's irresponsible to dismiss California prop 65 just because it's strict. the FDA allows a lot of unsafe products and chemicals in our foods currently and I personally appreciate prop 65 for allowing us to at least try and make better choices since the FDA isn't strict enough

… And I thought it would help me lose weight? Is there anything with light metals?

I knew the Prop 65 standards were different than the federal standards, but 1000fold is wild

isnt lead bad overall? I mean who really trust the fda, look who leads it right now.

I am fully baffled as to how all these "no amount of lead is safe" people are alive? There is no way to avoid lead entirely. We can reduce it but it's pretty much impossible to stop it from entering the food supply entirely.

ANY CHOCOLATE. For 23 of the bars, eating just an ounce a day would put an adult over a level that public health authorities and CR’s experts say may be harmful for at least one of those heavy metals. Five of the bars were above those levels for both cadmium and lead. Read more about how CR tested dark chocolate
