Oh yeah, I forgot about this. It's going to be tough to do anything about this with the current administration in office.

Also there's arsenic is lots of brown rice. I think the stuff from California or India is pretty safe.

    you know...we can look back and make fun of the romans for using lead water pipes even though they knew lead caused all sorts of health problems.

    then...to this day not only do we still have lead water pipes, we decided to spray it on all of our food.

    it's a wonder we survived as a species at all tbh

    There’s no reason to panic if you’ve been using any of the products we tested, or if you take protein supplements generally. Many of these powders are fine to have occasionally...

    I found this quote hilarious, I don't know anyone who takes protein powder occasionally. They are either taking it mosts days out of the week or not at all in my experience.
