METALLICA BACK ON TOP? –
Jan. 16, 2025 – Plant-based protein powders showed three times more lead and five times more cadmium than whey-based alternatives. Even the flavours of the products matter in this analysis. The findings mention that chocolate-flavoured powders contained four times more lead and 110 times more cadmium than vanilla-flavoured ones. “Our studies continue to report chocolate as a high-risk ingredient,” the report states. Heavy metals, including arsenic, lead, mercury, and cadmium, are naturally occurring elements that enter the environment through natural phenomena such as volcanic eruptions, rock weathering, and soil erosion. Gradually, these metals accumulate in the air, water, and soil, eventually entering plants, animals, and human food chains. Human activities like mining, industrial operations, and agricultural practices can significantly elevate their concentrations, increasing the risk of exposure through food products, the report points out.
