Heavy Metals in Common Foods vs Protein Powder

[Yali]

@Adodd

Do you know Spinach has more Lead in it than any protein powder you'll find on the market?

@Yali I saw the table. Windappreciator shared a relevant link that you might be interested in.  https://www.researchgate.net/publication/257163425_Binding_of_heavy_metals_to_pomace_fibers.

A lot of times nutrition science isn't always quite as simple as the numbers. As for spinach, it contains a good amount of calcium and iron, both of these nutrients help protect our bodies from heavy metals.

No need to throw away the protein powder if you get enough calcium and iron in your diet

No need to throw away the protein powder if you get enough fiber in your diet

These should decrease the absorption of heavy metals, sure. But doesnt it still make most sense to have the powder with the least heavy metal contamination vs the most contamination? Lol. Not even sure why you're really disagreeing about this. 

If I take adequate amounts of nutrients that reduce heavy metal absorption than i should eat the most contaminated foods instead of the least contaminated foods? C'mon dude.

Protein powders are not the "most contaminated foods".

Look at the numbers my dude. @Adodd

@Yali I'm not saying protien powders are the most heavily contaminated foods. I'm saying i have a protien powder that is very highly contaminated FOR protien powder and I would rather have a protien powder that is one of the less contaminated protien powders. I dont think there is a good way to communicate with you about this. I'm not entertaining this conversation anymore.

@Yali Protein powders with NO heavy metals (tested):

That makes sense.

Which protein powder was it?

@RendHeaven I don't need to watch this video. My skepticism is grounded in numbers.

Go down until you see ‘Three reasons in.power is the smart choice’ section. It has been fully tested for heavy metals. 

[Yali]

@How to be wise  What were the results of the test? It doesn't say.

@Yali If they tested for heavy metals, we can safely assume they’ve taken it into account. If there were high levels of lead or mercury, they wouldn’t just carry on selling it.

There's no such thing as "NO" levels of heavy metals.  All protein powders have traces. The question is whether it's safe.

There's no reason to be in fear since most protein powders are safe.

The reason why members on this forum are in fear is because "Leo said so". It's herd mentality, and folks like @Windappreciator are blind to it.

Most protein powders have very dangerous levels of heavy metals. That’s why they warned about it in their website:

“We assure heavy metal safety by having IN.POWER protein third party tested for 9 metals including arsenic, cadmium, lead and mercury. Many recent studies testing protein powders have uncovered potentially dangerous levels, exceeding the limits proposed safe by United States Pharmacopeia (USP).(3,4) Daily use can allow these metals to accumulate in the body over time, making it very important to choose a protein, like IN.POWER, that tests for these dangerous toxins.”

Do you have any examples? I have yet to see one, let alone "most".
