![]() ![]() The shocking results of the study is that many protein powders had significant levels of contaminants and overall, plant-based protein powders had higher levels of contaminants than those made from animal sources, containing on average twice as much lead and measurably higher amounts of other contaminants. BPA/BPS is used in the lining of cans and containers and leach into the protein powder). They can also be the result of the manufacturing process (ex. heavy metals) and toxic fertilizer (aka bio sludge) which can be absorbed by plants. Contaminants can be found in soils because of pesticides and mining run-off (ex. ![]() These contaminants are the result of sourcing and production practices. The Clean Label Project recently tested 131 of America’s best selling animal-derived and plant-based protein powders for heavy metals (arsenic, cadmium, lead, and mercury), over 100 pesticides, BPA/BPS (plasticizers that are known endocrine disruptors), residual solvents, mycotoxins, melamine and its analogues, and antibiotics residues. ![]()
