Heavy Metals in Common Foods vs Protein Powder

[Yali]

@Michael569 Don't call yourself a "health expert" if you're unwilling to talk about these topics.

[Yali]

@Michael569 Although protein powders have less heavy metal content than vegetables, protein powder is somehow more harmful because its "concentrated"?

I'm curious as to why you would think this.

If you identify yourself as a "health-expert", you should be able to explain yourself.

My friend, judging from all the stuff you posted here and messages you sent me, I can sense a deep interest in the topic of food contamination. This is an incredibly important issue and as you have already noticed, there is work to do and teachings to share. So how about this: Lets stop arguing about this topic altogether and you aim to go deep into the nature of these questions. It will take you months to read the relevant literature and it will not be easy, but at the end of the day - you will know exactly what its really about. Hell, there is even a business/coaching possibility at the end of this, so maybe thats something you should really look into. 

Discussing highly complex topics and telling people to "prove you wrong" will do nothing. Absolutely nothing. Its ego bullshit, nothing more. Also, citing one statistic from one source is also not very scientific. Its a good find, but I can tell you from my knowledge that there is more to this than you think. Cherrypicking and lack of complexity is always a red flag when it comes to reality. Maybe even Leo can learn from you, but at the moment you are doing everyone a disfavor with the way you present.

@undeather

it's really not an interest in the topic but rather a semi-denial process.

he doesn't like how accepting leo's information would change perception and judgment of certain part of his world in contrast to his current one, so there is some process of denial, but yet since his self image is rooted in " universal plain objective science" which isn't as safely supportive of his current view as he would like it to be, the denial isn't just a straight success.

I'm doing everyone a disfavor by presenting numerical facts?

I don't deny this.

I truly don't know the effects of heavy metal contamination.

I'm willing to admit that unlike you.

@Windappreciator

What reason do I have to change my point of view? Because Leo said so?

any reason would be wasted because you are hardly able of doing so.

you keep making the excuse that you need a reason, when it is your mind's flexibility that is the blockage not any external ignition.

Not at all. I have recommended protein powders to clients before, not any protein powders just brands I trust. 

@Michael569 Any specific protien powder brands that you trust? I just threw my bucket of protien in the trash after findibg out how much SHIT is in it?

[Yali]

@Adodd

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

[Adodd]

@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

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
