> Of the products tested, a staggering 47% exceeded California Proposition 65 safety
thresholds for toxic metals. Organic products, on average, showed higher levels of heavy metal contamination, with three times more lead and twice the amount of cadmium
compared to non-organic products. Plant-based protein powders were particularly concerning, showing three times more lead than whey-based alternatives, and chocolate-flavored powders contained four times more lead than vanilla.
Meager report. Are they saying organic whey is more likely to have lead than non-organic whey, or is it just that organic products are more likely to be plant-based?
Chocolate... just the usual suspect I guess[0].
I'm taking away from this that non-flavored whey is probably fine.
