Heavy Metals in Common Foods vs Protein Powder

[Yali]

@How to be wise

"measurable levels of lead" is not the same as "dangerous levels of lead".

I have yet to see a study which has found dangerous levels. I'll wait

@Yali I suppose you are also looking for a study to find dangerous levels of punches to the face?

[Yali]

@Windappreciator  No. That sounds painful.

[Windappreciator]

@Yali  Can we get a study on that?

Things like mercury and lead may tie to the fibre content of the meal and get excreted compared to animal food that has no fibre.

OK, so if I eat my animal food (fish) with high-fiber plant-based foods, then there shouldn't be a problem? @Michael569

I see no reason throwing my protein powder away as I get a lot of fiber in my diet.

@Michael569 If your dinner this week contains just one of the foods above, you’re ingesting more lead than you would in a serving of plant protein powder.
