Protein Powders and Shakes Contain High Levels of Lead

[Peptidesearch]

I have a sub with CR but also Consumerlab.com where they specifically test supplements and give lots of info on whether the supplement is safe/beneficial etc.

The report had lots of issues - https://news.immunologic.org/p/consumer-reports-latest-panic-toxic
Your protein powder is completely fine

I think the calm mongering is overly dismissive. Even using the least strict gov’t standards, many of us who actually rely on a large dose, say 2-3 protein drinks a day, to help meet the extended protein levels for post menopausal women and folks taking glps… could in fact regularly be taking in too much lead. Especially if we also eat dark chocolate or other industrially contaminated foods. It’s a straw man about ridiculing California worrying that a tiny amount of lead could kill you… the real concern is that lead is toxic to brain function and the majority of us are also likely checking out the cognitive peptides so avoiding a recognized toxin is likely very productive.
