@Average Investor Why are you fear mongering? As you can see above, many safe, natural healthy foods contain up to 5 to 10 times more lead than these "evil" protein powders. Stop adopting Leo's beliefs like a sheep & think for yourself!

@Michael569 Do you agree? The logic is straight forward.

If 1 apple has more Lead content than taking Apple extract then that 1 apple is more harmful. Likewise with Protein Powder vs "real foods". @Michael569

You already know my opinion. Even though 75% of plant-based protein powders have "measurable levels of lead", those "measurable levels of lead" are less than many common foods. Check the sources above.

@Michael569 You seem to be biased against Protein Powders yet all these Protein Powders contain less lead than many of the health foods you would recommend. Admit your bias.

This is speculation. @Michael569

@Preety_India yet this is how "health experts" like @Michael569 thinks. It's fear-based thinking. If I shouldn't eat protein powder, then I shouldn't eat Spinach either.

It is ridiculous.

@Michael569 These studies were done by a leading third-party independent testing agency, not GOL. Not any worse than common foods we all eat. Check the numbers my friend.

@Something Funny lol

Leo doesn't believe in a "Safe" level of heavy metal contamination. He paints it out like it's an absolute truth, but that's just his belief. He should be honest that it's just a belief and that he doesn't really know for sure.

@Something Funny yea but you have no reason to believe such a thing if you don't really know. it's blind feeling.

@Something Funny ok so then why were we going back and forth this whole time.

@Something Funny you agree with this

@Loving Radiance am i only making sense to myself?

@Something Funny I'm talking in circles

@Something Funny I'm taking a risk. How much of a risk? You don't know. I don't know.

Because everyone is different. What a "Safe" dose might do to you over decades, might not do to me. The point is no one knows since it varies on a individual basis. If you want to veer on the side of safety, then avoid it completely. But that's your personal choice.

Don't make this personal. I'm just being skeptical. @Something Funny

@Something Funny heavy metals do accumulate in the body. That's undeniable. Heavy metals in high doses are bad for your health. That's also undeniable.

@undeather I never said Salmon is good. I'm saying I don't know, and it probably depends on the individual. @Something Funny won't admit that he doesn't know. He thinks he knows.

Me and you are in agreement. This is all I was trying to say the entire time! @undeather

This is your belief based on your personal preference of eering on the safe side. You don't actually know this. @Something Funny

You calling my belief "dumb" is your personal preference. @Something Funny

@Carl-Richard There isn't a "higher" risk. The risk of consuming trace amounts of heavy metals is unknown.
